Anthropometric data including measuring weight (With the sensitivity of 100 grams), height, waist (with the sensitivity of 1 millimeter) before eating breakfast with the least coverage and without shoes by the help of Bourer Digital Scale and meter according to standard instructions by the Physiotherapist before and after the intervention were gathered. Waist measuring was done from the region between ribs and hip bone. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated for all the people with the formula of weight (kilogram) divided to squared height (meter). These persons were randomly divided into two groups; with green tea drink and placebo. All the people of the first group (30 persons) were wanted to drink green tea. Each one would drink 4 glasses of green tea before breakfast, lunch, evening meal and dinner daily for a period of 2 weeks. The diet for all 60 persons in this study was supervised attentively in order to consume fat, carbohydrate, sugar, minerals, fruit, vegetable and generally speaking, all nutritional substances under the thoroughly control.
