Let’s be real: we all want something that makes feeling good and looking good a little easier. Enter matcha. This vibrant green powder has been showing up in everything from smoothies to lattes—and for good reason.
But can matcha actually help you lose weight?
Short answer: yes, but it’s not a magic potion. It’s more like your secret weapon when paired with healthy habits. Here’s how.
1. Matcha Boosts Metabolism (Like, Actually)
Unlike your standard green tea, matcha is grown and processed differently, making it richer in catechins—especially one called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). EGCG is known to increase calorie burn even at rest. One study found that people who consumed green tea extract burned an extra 100 calories a day.
Translation? Matcha gives your metabolism a gentle kick in the butt.
2. Natural, Clean Energy (No Jitters, No Crash)
If you’ve tried to power through a workout or busy workday with coffee only to crash later, you’re not alone. Matcha contains caffeine and L-theanine, an amino acid that keeps you calm and focused. This combo gives you sustained energy—perfect for early morning gym sessions or resisting that midday snack attack.
3. Curbs Cravings and Keeps You Full
Matcha has mild appetite-suppressing effects, and when you drink it in the form of a latte or with almond milk, it can help tide you over between meals. It’s a smart swap if you’re trying to avoid mindless snacking (hello, chips at 3 p.m.).
4. Antioxidants That Support Fat Burn
The antioxidants in matcha don’t just fight inflammation—they may help your body better regulate blood sugar and reduce belly fat. It’s not overnight magic, but it’s consistent support for your long game.
