in Health and Weight Loss
Hey guys, wondering if anyone has tried MateFit or any other boost/ detox teas? I have used MateFit 3 times now each time for 1 month consistently. If you find that you have lots of bloating, fatigue, or little energy I definitely recommend trying it!! There's a Metabolic boost used 2x daily that gives me lots of energy and actually dropped 10 lbs of water weight off me in a month and flattened my stomach. Then the detox tea which is every other night. I've seen nothing but great things from it, if you're wanting to work out more or just need that boost you should try it!

    Caffeine and laxatives.
    Massive amounts of caffeine and STIMULANT laxatives.
    What could go wrong?

    So basically, you use laxatives frequently, even though you don't actually need them, in order to achieve temporary water weight loss. Nope, nothing unhealthy about that at all.

    Isn't it recommended never to use senna-based teas for more than a week because of the possibility of laxative dependency?

    Senna is a laxative. Just because it is natural, doesn't mean that it is good to have when you aren't constipated and in need of a laxative. The effects of long term laxative use in people who do not need them can be quite extreme.

    All natural =/= safe or useful.

    Bold is VERY STRONG STIMULANT LAXATIVE. So strong it can induce abortion/miscarriage.


    The combination sounds like an electrolyte nightmare

    Cyanide is all natural, for what it's worth.

    I wanted to know if anyone else has tried it. I mean I know that there is laxatives in it but the main reason I use it is because I get really bloated and have fatigue and low energy. I haven't seen anything negative from it personally. I guess a good time to use it would be after caving on cravings. I just started a diet where I'm doing portion control with lots of veggies, chicken, brown rice etc with meal preps. thanks for letting me know this stuff isn't the best for my body. I really wasn't aware it was harmful. Anyone know a healthy way to gain energy other than diet and exercise?

    Have a cup of coffee, for the energy part. You'll do great!

    Coffee, and lots of water! Nothing wrong with using herbal tea to curb cravings, too - just avoid the ones that have laxative ingredients.

    Coffee and a good night of sleep. Also diet and exercise, but you didn't want to hear that.

    I like yerba mate, but guarana makes me feel jittery. I'm dubious about this laxative thing and isn't it your liver that deals with toxins? I don't trust the whole "detox" trend.

    True. it hasn't made me jittery though. I used to drink Starbucks double shots sometimes, which are horrible I know, once it made me so jittery and spiked my heart rate so much I actually had an anxiety attack. I have some problems with anxiety and every since I usually stay away from coffee as a whole now. /: Seldom I have straight coffee with a little bit of creamer and it doesn't affect me much. But the tea hasn't given me any issues.

    Then drink tea with caffeine and skip the laxatives. And get sleep. Oh, and food and exercise help too.'
