WEIGHT LOSS TEA…DOES IT WORK?

Q. I heard somewhere about a tea that will help you loose weight. I need all of the help I can get. Does this really exist and does it work?

A. This tea really does exist and it really does work…up to a point. These teas usually contain a blend of herbs that act as diuretics and appetite suppressants. Some of the herbs may even have a laxative effect. As a result of this combo. you could possibly loose a lot of water weight very fast. But remember, water weight is NOT permanent weight loss.

These teas seem to be best used at the beginning of a weight loss program. The reason being; when you see several pounds of water weight disappear from your body in a short period of time, this gives you great incentive to continue in a more rigorous / permanent weight control program.

A couple of popular and effective brands would be the following:

1. Laci Le Beau SUPER DIETER’S TEA…This brand is a 20 yr. veteran in this market and contains the cleansing (laxative) herb senna. It comes in seven, caffeine free flavors.

2. Dr. Stuart’s SLIM PLUS TEA…This brand contains fennel seed which gives a more pungent flavor. Dandelion is also infused for its diuretic effect and high potassium levels.

A word of caution; when steeped too long, these teas can cause abdominal cramping. Start slowly and work your way into a more pungent tea over time. Also…stay close to a bathroom.
