green tea makes your metabilism faster. i drink like 3 bottles of the lipton green tea a day it's very good...the reg. has 80 calories and the diet has nothing at all in it therefore you lose weight.

Green tea has cleansing properties in it that help to rid your body of toxins as well as boost your metabolism in the process. The only time that there should be a difference between regular and diet green tea is if there is a sweetening agent added to the tea. These teas can be good, but if you can handle it, pure green tea with only something like lemon would be best in helping with weight loss. The added sugar is kind of a backstep in that whole process.

I've always heard that green tea boosts your metabolism and slows down the aging on your face and stuff (wrinkles)

It is scientifically proven that if you drink 3 cups of green tea a day for a year, you will lose 5 pounds and your metabolism will be faster and readier to cope with the food to come. Don't think that eating less has anything to do with losing weight. The less you eat, the less energy is used to digest, meaning less calories burned. Trust me, I've tried this. Just pig out the whole day (of course not until you vomit) and I promise you will lose at least 5 pounds. Also, don't let anyone tell you that exercise has nothing to do with it. I do 16 hours of ballet a week, eat as much as a cow, and drink 3 cups of tea a day. Guess what? I'm one of the thinnest among all my friends. Take my advice, this all helps.
If you have been dieting or skipping meals your body's metabolism slows down to compensate for the lack of nutrients. When lean people overeat their metabolism speeds up and when obese people diet their metabolism slows down. The key is a balance of exercise and diet.

Green tea has lots of antioxidants and such. Not sure how it helps you lose weight though.
And yes, diet will work the same. You see, the tea itself has little to no calories. It is the sweetener that adds calories.
