BJ, Massive, DC, others? Some green tea help

[USMuscle9403]

Well as a DCer it goes without saying that I drink tons of green tea. However, as of late I've been having some problems with it. I work in a very hot and humid environment and sweat buckets full, so my fluid intake is very high. I drink around 3-4 gallons of water a day, atleast 1-2 of those si going to be green tea. I've noticed though that I start to feel nauseated when I drink a large amount. I feel sick to both my stomach and head, feel lethargic and sometimes almost feel as though I'm gonna throw up. I've tried just drinking pure water instead at work and the symptoms disappeared. The problem is...should I just stop drinking green tea all together? The tea that I drink is fairly concentrated, so I guess I could water it down a little more. I just don't wanna lose any of the benefits, but I guess I gotta do what I gotta do huh? Any other suggestions you guys can think of?

BTW I know that the water I drink sounsd like an extreme amount, but I have hyperhidrosis as well so it's a necessity that I drink this much. I can drink only 2 gallons and still be thirsty, and there aer some days where I sweat so much that when drinking 3 gallons I won't even pee once.

food/tea combination

Im a big fan of green tea and drink it everyday without question, i experienced the same problem and my remedy was to drink it on a some what empty stomach maybe a 1/2 hr before eating my next meal or eat then wait a 1/2 hr. I learned if i eat first then drink the tea i get neusea so they just dont mix for me

Well, too much of anything is unhealthy. As much as green tea can do as far as health benefits, it can be bad if you drink too much. If it's making you sick, I'd say that's a good sign you're drinking too much.

BBJ actually green tea is one of the few things in life that MORe is BETTER. However if you are drinking a too highly concentrated drink thats causing nasty sides then the point is moot. I suggest getting a high quality GT extract and take 2 with each meal.

Like they said usmuscle, keep drinking it but limit it a bit, I personally drink 6 cups a day and this works very well too.

Besides, your wallet will like the reduction too

well even good green tea is pretty cheap

BTW you might want to try WHITE TEA which is the same as green tea but just prepared better as it keeps 3 to 4 times more of the good stuff and will not upset your stomach like GT.
