Mate is often considered an appetite suppressant which also helps burn fat. But does mate make you lose weight? The answer can be found in this article.
- Consuming mate before sport burns 2 to 3 times more fat.
- People who have drunk mate have a feeling of fullness.
- Yerba Mate allows you to have a better ability to concentrate and an increased level of energy.
In a latest study, published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise and conducted in 2018, here is what the researchers say in their introduction: “Yerba Mate has been shown to increase fat utilization during exercise in untrained humans, but its effects on well-trained people during exercise are unknown. ” For this reason, they decided to analyze the effects of mate on experienced cyclists.
We can see that the results obtained on seasoned athletes are similar to those of untrained people: Cyclists who consumed Yerba mate burned 23% more fat than the others.
