A recent study showed some accelerated effects on fat loss when using green tea extract. (Am J Clin Nutr 2005;81:122–9.) But what it also effects muscle loss when trying a diet and reducing your body fat.

The green tea group lost 2.4 kg the low tea group just 1.3 kg in 12 weeks. When looking at the lean body mass it showed that the green tea extract also took away more muscle: 1 kg vs 0.6 kg

But when you compare the lean muscle/fat ratios:

green tea: 2.4
low green tea: 2.1

In this study subjects lost 2.4 times as much fat compared to muscle when using a green tea extract. The low tea lost just 2.1 kg of fat/kg muscle.

It seems like the green tea extracts protects the muscle by simply making more fat available as energy for the body.
