I know how stressful it is to deal with constant cravings when you are anxious about your weight. L-Theanine is great because it actually calms your mind and helps prevent emotional overeating. Taking 100mg to 200mg in the morning can keep you relaxed and focused.

I can only share what worked for me personally. I started taking L-Theanine with my morning black coffee because it stops the caffeine jitters and kept my stress-eating in check. I took one 200mg capsule, but you should see what suits your body.

Haan, L-Theanine acts like a green tea extract basically, na. It is very good for reducing stress, which indirectly stops you from stress-eating junk food. Take it in the afternoon when you feel like having tea, it works nicely to control appetite.

In our experience, weight gain is often just due to a restless mind and poor sleep. L-Theanine is a gentle option that helps quieten the mind so you don't overeat out of tension. Don't worry too much about fast results, just take it calmly and let your body settle.

Please don't believe everything you read on social media about L-Theanine being a weight loss miracle. It is mainly for relaxation and sleep quality, not for burning fat. Talk to a certified nutritionist or doctor before buying these expensive supplements.
