“Is green tea nature’s Ozempic?” It’s a question I’ve been asked recently, and here’s the truth: No, it’s not. While green tea contains beneficial polyphenols, they don’t stop hunger or help you lose fat.

If there’s anything close to “nature’s Ozempic,” it’s the Zone Diet—the dietary approach I developed nearly 30 years ago to tackle insulin resistance. By balancing protein, carbohydrates, and fat at every meal, you can effectively curb hunger and take control of your health.

As for green tea? If you enjoy it, by all means, drink it! But don’t expect it to work miracles for fat loss.
