Skinny me tea?

xjmcx

I've been hearing more and more about this skinny me tea recently, and was just wondering what people's thoughts are on it? I don't know too much about detoxes, and google wasn't much help, so thought you guys might be able to she'd some light!

From what I can gather, its a colon cleanse detox, in which you still continue to eat the same (healthy) foods, so it doesn't starve you! Do you think any weight you lose would just climb straight back on when you stop using it?

Thanks

These types of teas contain senna, a very harsh laxative. Any weight you lose will not be fat, so yes, it will come right back on. And if you keep drinking stuff with senna, you run the risk of ruining your colon's normal functioning.

And your colon doesn't need to be detoxed or cleansed.

Another scam product.

Detoxification is a fad and a fantasy only. If you have reason to believe you're toxic, consult with your doctor. Don't waste your time paying attention to advertising hype, naturopathic gurus, homeopathic charlatans, etc

Detox diets, cleanses, and supplements don't work. There is no diet which will cause your body to get rid of toxins, heavy metals, poisonous by-products from smoking, drugs, etc.

poop yourself tea = no good.

poop yourself tea = not a permanent fix.

eat a balanced diet. eat less than your TDEE, more than your BMR, work out. be patient.

Thanks for your replies! You've all confirmed what I was thinking.. Lol.
I've already lost 16kg by counting calories and exercise - I wasn't about to turn to something like this and risk undoing all my heard work! But I've got some friends thinking if trying it, so I was just curious

Thanks again

Just came across this forum. I had heard from some girls at work who had tried the SMT that they were getting sick and having diarrhea from drinking the teas. I actually tried the ‘Look At Me! Tea’ (another one my hairdresser recommended) that seems to be a lot better. They use all organic ingredients in their tea and give you a diet plan with it too. It tastes pretty nice and they don’t delude you into thinking you won’t have to eat healthy or exercise to benefit from it. I’ve been taking it for almost two weeks now and i’m feeling as though it’s making a difference. They use ingredients that help boost the metabolism so it has to be taken with a healthy lifestyle! They send you colon cleansing teabags with your tea that contain senna which i haven't bothered with but the tea its self doesn't.

That's basically the same thing as skinny me, your not loosing weight because of the tea your loosing weight because of the life style change! I have read the diet plan that they give you with it and its just just basic clean eating!

save your money!

Im actually on my second week of SMT and I really like it. Its only one tea in the morning, which is really nice and a 'colon cleansing' tea every second night. The ingredients are listed and I really like the colon cleanse tea, as it helped me become more 'regular' after incorporating so much more protein into my diet. It has given my weightloss a boost, after hitting a bit of a plateau at 20kg lost. I would consider doing it again.

I bet as soon as you come off the tea and stop doing colon cleanses you won't be able to poop normally, Take this from someone who use to take laxatives daily its not nice being able to go. Not to mention the damage it can cause.

We will see ... As I said, I wasn't regular before taking the tea (to a point where it was very uncomfortable) so it won't be any different to before. The 'temporary' relief has been well worth it for me personally.

ever heard of Purne juice?


Just something i found on the internet

Laxative abuse can result in several of the same conditions as diuretic abuse, and more:
laxative dependency
electrolyte imbalance
potassium deficiency
dehydration
painful cramps
vomiting
edema
diarrhea
constipation
gastrointestinal bleeding
anemia
increased risk of colon cancer
bowel damage
Melanosis Coli
hemorrhoids
loss of protective mucus lining the intestines, causing infection
kidney damage
fainting
dizziness
liver damage (rarely)
death

That's all the Colon cleaning tea is organic or not its still a laxative, Just something to think about

It tastes like cow manure.

4-6 hours later, you'll be RUNNING for the toilet and sitting there, feeling nauseous until your bowels stop their convulsions.

Will you lose weight? Sure. Will it be fat loss or permanent? No. Will you gain it back as soon as you drink some water or any other beverage? Hope so, or you have some serious metabolic concerns.

If you're clogged up, it's good to have. I have some in the pantry for just such eventualities. Would I ever take it to lose weight? Heck no.

No, I havent heard of Purne Juice.

Prune Juice I have.

All I did was give my opinion to the OP, and my personal experience with the product in question. If I wanted a list of the consequences of laxative abuse (which I doubt 7 teabags causes) then I would google it myself. I don't understand why on these forums people feel the need to 'educate' people, who haven't requested it. Like the above post said it's nice to have something mild there for when you are clogged up

waste of money
diet and exercise ids the only way theres no magic products

I would suggest you try that then, Works for me.

also I wasn't pointing it just at you either, I was pointing it to anyone who was thinking about trying them out and giving a warning for those who already are. I don't think there is a problem with that, Sorry if you think otherwise.

Yes i agree a tea now n again can be good to get you going, But from a weight lost point of view not the best idea as it CAN be harmful.

alysodriscoll

You've probably already heard this but weight loss is comprised of 70% eating choices and 30% exercise. So eat less "bad" food and more good food and that will make you lose weight. Exercise helps to tone the muscle and skin so you dont get the flab. I lose 20 kilos in 2 months just by eating a little bit less and exercising. You don't need silly me tea.

My mum who was very overweight at the time tried skinny me tea to get her motivated. She did the 28 day detox and it worked wonders for her! She has lost 50kg over the last year because of the tea and has only done 4 detoxes in total and has managed to keep the weight off easily and it did no damage at all to her health. Each to their own about the tea, abuse it and of course it will be bad, but do the detox then slowly adjust yourself off of the tea and you'll be fine (keeping in mind that you're still exercising!). That's just my input about it since I've actually seen it in action and I'm not just judging it. I'd say give the 7 day detox a go and if you don't like it then don't continue with it. Easy.

Ready2Rock206

I wonder if this is the "Poop tea" my friend drinks? LOL! Yes she actually calls it that. It doesn't actually seem to do much for her besides the pooping.

Why won't the poop tea just die?

Hello!
my cousin did this detox and it definetely worked, she lost 6 kilos within something like 1-2 months time, but i think that if you go back to your normal routine and habits after succesfully using the tea, it is obvious and inevitable that you're going to put weight back on!

she hasn't put weight back on but this is because though she has stopped the tea, she has not stopped eating healthy!

i'm pretty sure the tea has something in it which actually suppresses your appetite, causing you to eat less, and for it to have its full effects, no you do not eat the same foods as normal.. there are certain things you're not supposed to eat in order for it to work!

so i would say that if you need that push start to losing your weight, the tea is great it definetely works, but once you see those results from the tea, maintain the results by exercising regularly and eating healthy!
hope this helps

*sigh*

She's losing weight because of eating and exercising, 6 kgs in 2 months so very do able without tea. You basically just said that your self!
it doesn't kick start anything it makes you crap your self!
And Why would you take something that suppresses your appetite? surely that can't be good for you either?
Just have some self control and eat to fit your cals/macros and you will have the same results.

Any "skinny tea" , case in point http://www.skinnycoffeeworks.com/nuvogene-skinny-tea.php, must of course be helped by the addition of diet and exercise .

I once heard jack lalanne say "if exercise is king then nutrition is queen; put them together and uve got a kingdom"

Either way, with many supplements, it's very tough to tell if it's the supplement that is working, or if it's a "placebo" effect

oh just stop.

this thread is no longer about any kind of stupid magic tea.

it's now about Beyonce on a battlecat.

Hi,
I originally bought the skinny me tea and colon cleans for detox reasons and found that the colon cleanse works great for me because I have chronic IBS and constipation. It is not harsh AT ALL for me (or other people with these ailments) compared to other laxatives. The tea for weight loss itself did nothing at all so forget that. BUT if you have IBS/Constipation the colon cleanse tea is awesome.

Basically, the SMT teatoxes are not going to cause you to lose this miraculous amount of weight without changing your lifestyle. However, these teatoxes are not intended to do such a thing - they're meant to be a supplemental program to a healthy & active lifestyle, and when used in conjunction with a diet that promotes easy, healthy digestion and that supports the removal of waste matter and toxins from your body (aka detoxification), as well as regular physical activity, the teas can absolutely aid the detoxification process, support cleansing of the body and its internal systems, and therefore can help improve your metabolism & increase your energy levels, which will result in weight loss.

There are 2 parts to the teatox - the daily "SkinnyMe" tea & the colon cleanse tea to be drank every other day. The daily tea helps to raise your energy levels & metabolism and helps to suppress appetite. These things can help someone who's trying to lose weight kickstart their weight loss journey or help break through a plateau. The teatox can also be used for someone who wants to maintain their weight, but wants increased overall wellbeing. The colon cleanse tea does just that - cleanses your colon! And yes, it does contain senna which is an herbal laxative. As mentioned before, abusing laxatives can mess up your digestive system, but ONLY if you abuse them! The colon cleanse tea is only meant to be drank every other day for a period of 14 or 28 days, not every day forever, and it is not recommended to perform more than 2 SMT teatox packs back to back for this reason.

However, if used correctly, the SMT & the colon cleanse tea help to rid your body of the waste matters & toxins that have been building up for years from eating unhealthy, processed, nutrition-less foods, exposure to pollution & heavy metals, as well as from countless other things that harm the body. Also, the teatox helps to promote healthy digestion so that when you do change your lifestyle and begin to eat healthily, your stomach & intestines can properly absorb all of the nutrients you are ingesting. How can your digestive system function properly (absorb all of the nutrients, minerals, water, phytonutrients, enzymes, etc. from food & rid your body of all the extra waste that it doesn't need) if it is clogged up with undigested matter and toxins? IT CAN'T! Not to mention your body spends a massive amount of energy on digestion, and if the digestive tract is clogged, your body needs to expend even more energy on digestion, which leaves the body little energy to spend on running the essential processes your cells need to thrive & perform their individual functions throughout the body. When this is the case, you feel sluggish, tired, fatigued, foggy, & bloated. But when your digestive system runs smoothly, your body has more energy to expend on cell renewal, repair, & revitalization throughout your entire body, as well as energy to spend on getting rid of the body's unnecessary fat stores, resulting in weight loss & reduced bloating. You will feel & look SO much better - your skin & eyes will clear up, your hair, skin, & nails will be vibrant, healthy, and strong, you will have tons of energy, a clearer & calmer mind, increased memory, a higher sex drive, decreased bloating, and an overall tightening of the body resulting in more muscle tone and a leaner look. But remember, these benefits can be achieved simply by detoxing through a healthy diet & regular exercise - the SMT teatox only aids & improves the detoxification process.

To address the concerns that once you end the teatox you'll gain any or all of the weight that you lost while cleansing - as long as you continue to eat a healthy, whole, natural diet that promotes detoxification & get regular exercise, you will not gain any weight. In fact, many people use this teatox as a way to jumpstart weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. Yes, while detoxing, most of the weight that you lose will be water weight and not fat, but the teatox will raise your metabolism (and keep it raised after completion) so that when you are done with the 14 or 28 day period your body won't just begin to pile on weight. Also, through cleansing the colon, you'll have also lost weight in the form of the waste matter that may have been built up in your digestive tract, which won't come back unless you end the teatox and then expose yourself to a bunch of toxins by eating a *kitten* diet or consuming lots of unhealthy things (drugs, alcohol, tobacco, too much caffeine, etc.).

I've completed a 28-day teatox to jumpstart my health & wellness journey and to help me begin to lose 20 pounds. The teatox definitely made me have increased energy levels, a suppressed appetite, a better sense of overall wellbeing, and completely got rid of any bloating I may have had. I lost 7 pounds and have not regained any weight, and in fact have continued to lose weight, as well maintaining my increased energy! I didn't have any problems with the teatox and think that if you're interested, you should definitely try it! SMT has cool tumblr & instagram pages where you can get healthy eating & exercise inspo, as well as before & after success stories of people who have tried the teatoxes, so you can judge for yourself whether this is a successful program worth trying or not. Remember, you know your body better than anyone & only you can determine if something is going to be helpful to you & make you feel good or if it isn't going to beneficial to you - listen to your intuition!

And BTW, the teas are made using high quality, organic, whole, natural ingredients so you are not putting anything bad or harmful into your body and the teatox packs are very inexpensive for teas that contain such high quality ingredients. However, if you don't want to pay for the teatox and/or wait for it to be shipped, you could try something similar on your own by drinking Yogi 'Detox' tea once a day, a few cups of yerba mate and green tea every day, and Yogi 'get regular' tea every evening - this regimen uses a lot of the same ingredients and will definitely yield similar results.

Thanks for reading! Best of luck & lots of love!
