    Weight loss? No, not really.
    Stress loss? YES!! But I am pretty sure this is a direct result of sipping the Mate with good friends on a quiet evening :wink:

    "Results" from tea? Does not compute.

    When people talk about the weight loss benefits of a caffeinated drink, they mean...

    1. It gives you more energy to work out, and
    2. It makes you poop more

    Now, both of those are terrific, but there's no tea that alone makes weight loss happen.

    I've tried it before and it's OK. It might be an acquired taste for some, but it's certainly something I enjoyed.

    Mate is a delightful drink that tastes similar but a bit better than green tea. Tons of non-jittery energy and antioxidants. When I was drinking it regularly, I was already very slim so it is hard to tell about weight loss. I know that it is in most diet pills now, and most of the people in Argentina drink it and are also very thin. Then again they also walk a ton and eat Very cleanly without all of the antibiotics and hormones in their food....Try it and see what it does for you.
