Wu Long is widely known by scientists to increase metabolism and fat burning. Some studies suggest that it burns fat better than green tea by 157%. Studies have shown repeatedly that drinking Wu Long tea increases energy expenditure. According to an Article titled Energy Expenditure of US Men and Japanese Women Consumer Oolong Tea by researchers at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, ARS, USDA, in Beltsville, MD; and the Department of Nutrition, University of Tokushima, and Research Center, Suntory LTD., in Japan, Wu Long tea increased energy expenditure, or the total calories metabolized by the body in a given day increased, on average, 3.8%. In women, a similar study showed that their body metabolism, as measured by a breath calorimeter, was higher in Wu Long tea rather than green tea. The scientists conclude that drinking Wu Long displays statistically significant effects on the energy expenditure of human subjects. They further state that drinking Wu Long tea daily may also be useful for control of diabetes mellitus.
In another article in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry (2001) Wu Long tea was also found to block fat absorption as well as fat storage in the liver and ears of rats who consumed sucrose rich diets. However, in this case, Green Tea was actually found to be more effective than Wu Long, leading to the conclusion that a mixture of Green and Wu Long tea may have the maximal health benefits we all look for.

Here are some weight-loss tips that will not change the amount you eat, but the quality:
Rather than eating sugary snacks (such as cookies, gummy fruit snacks, junk food, basically), eat fresh fruit. It's more nutritious, and you're still getting something filling.
Rather than eating potato chips, try air popped popcorn. For the amount of calories in one serving of chips (of which most people eat more than), you can eat a rather large bowl of popcorn. I like to use butter spray, since it doesn't add calories.
Drink 8 glasses of water a day. If you're not getting enough water, your body retains what you do drink, and it looks like extra weight.
Cut back on red meat, say, to only once a week. Eat more chicken, fish, etc. White meat is generally healthier and lower in calories.
If you eat much fast food, stop. Most sit-down restaurants serve about 6 servings of each food item. Don't eat everything on the plate.
These are fairly simple changes. For exercise, do simple things like taking a walk, or using the stairs. Since you're young, you shouldn't have a problem losing 5 pounds.
Everybody's body functions in a different way. In order to loose weight naturally, you have to first memorize how it works. Do you have a high metabolism or a low one? Some people find that they gain weight when they're constipated. Others loose weight quickly if they eat too many oranges. Drinking tea on an empty stomach can also help you loose weight. Also, you can try to drink hot water after every meal.
