Day 10: Going Japanese?

Day 10 and still feeling a bit sick with colds and cough.  I stopped exercising for a while since i had the flu.  Today's weight is 67 kg, still plateauing. Hopefully, before we end the perfect diet, i would  be able to exercise again and lose another kilo or two.  I am beginning to get the habit of eating healthy and lesser junk food.  Tonight, we're going Japanese with Oolong tea drink and Nori Maki Arare or rice crackers with seaweeds.

What are the benefits of Oolong tea?

Oolong tea is a very well known health tea.  It gives a lot of health benefits especially with weight loss when taken regularly.   Oolong tea undergoes less fermentation that is why it is like black tea and green tea (in between).

It is well known to decrease the rate of heart disease and stroke.  Oolong tea also helps with lowering sugar and increasing metabolism. 

Since I am into weight loss, I will concentrate on the weight loss benefits of ingesting oolong tea.

  • improve fat metabolism thereby causing weight loss


caffeine in oolong tea increases metabolism

  • Increase energy expenditure  

  • Inhibits the absorption of nutrients including fats and carbohydrates
