Green tea has not made a noticeable difference. I think these articles explain why since if green tea changes the body from burning carbs to burning fat -- I am not eating carbs -- so what can the green tea do? However, green tea has a lot of antioxidant benefits that help with muscle building and fat loss so I would recommend it.
FORSKOLIN appears to also be known as Coleus

Diet
You don't eat carbohydrate. You eat a ton of meat and eggs. Eggs are nature's most perfect food since they contain a very high amino acid content. The rawer you can eat meat and eggs the better -- cooking destroys the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids found in foods. Which is why "experts" years ago use to eat raw eggs.
Supplements
Assuming you are taking a "mega" multi-vitamin and EFAs, If you throw in more zinc, magnesium, and amino acids then your body will have the building blocks to build more muscle. Creatine, without carbs, is a good source of amino acids. Or you can just buy amino acids.

If you are over 40 then you might try testosterone boosting substances such as DHEA. Note, I don't think anyone needs to take steroids or anything like that. Take natural things that help your body do the work. There are other testosertone boosting agents such as

Exercise
Do mostly strength training. Avoid a lot of cardio as this tears down muscles. Low intensity cardio is usually not a problem (most cardio equipment now a days has a fat burning range on it -- so if you stay in this range for only like 30 minutes then you should be okay)
