All symptoms of low blood sugar. Usually a piece of bread, crackers, or juice will make me feel normal again. Green tea is excellent for burning extra calories and reaping numerous health benefits, but make sure you have enough fuel from food or excess around the waist to keep the fire burning. I think it is an excellent addition to a weight-loss or normal exercise plan. When my father lost about 30-40 lbs, it was one of the key ingredients in the "weight-loss diet" besides more whole grains, fruits, and veggies. He would drink 1-2 cups of green tea before going for 30 minute walks. It also cuts down muscle soreness and pain after exercise or weight lifting.
