Summary

The weight loss company NutriSystem says its new mints made from green tea can curb appetites while also freshening breath. The new T-Green Mints have only recently hit the market but are quickly garnering national media attention. Nutritionists warn that the mints are not a quick and easy way to lose weight. But NutriSystem responds by pointing to studies showing green tea helps low calorie dieters increase weight loss by 5 to 10 percent.

Details

  • There are hundreds of diet supplements on the market.
  • It is tough to choose one and know if it really works.
  • Now, a new natural product is gaining national attention for its results.
  • NutriSystem's T-Green Mints promises a double threat -- curbing the appetite while freshening the breath.
  • "Its kind of grainy and chunky feeling," said Liz Scurry, who tried out the mints.
  • That grainy greatness is supposed to shrink your stomach.
  • The mints, packed with green tea extract, are designed to be eaten when a craving arises.
  • "They do give you rush, sort of like an Altoid," said Tonya Barnes, a dieter.
  • Barnes said that she has tried many diet pills and she likes T-Green Mints.
  • "They gave me energy and they were good enhancement because I'm on a weight-loss program right now," Barnes said.
  • Some nutritionists say that the claims of the mints' manufacturer are misleading and that there is no easy answer to weight loss.
  • But company officials say two mints are equivalent to six to eight cups of green tea.
  • "Studies have shown that taking green tea with a low-cal program can increase weight loss by 5 to 10 percent," said Dr. Jay Satz, of NutriSystem.
  • While they may not be miracle mints, they are a fresh supplement in the battle of the bulge.
  • NutriSystem also makes a green tea gum that is also supposed to curb cravings.
  • When NBC 10 called the company, located in Horsham, Pa., they said that they are so popular they are currently all out.
