Just wondering if anyone has tried Bootea detox morning and evening tea. I would like some real reviews before I buy

    It's basically a laxative.

    Why don't you just try eating some chicken and fresh vegetables instead? Crazy, I know.

    Sarah - you've opened a real Pandora's box here and you're about to hear from a lot of folks- some who might not come across as very nice. But what they (almost) all have in common is that they have been successful at meeting and maintaining their fitness and weight goals. Many have done so for years. Also, they care and want others to succeed.

    Given that your goals say you have 40+ pounds to go and it looks like you're just getting started, what you're mostly going to hear is this

    There is no magic or quick fix

    If you wouldn't abuse laxatives for weight loss, don't buy detox tea.

    Your body detoxes all by itself.

    Thanks for a polite response.

    I have already lost 3 stone so I know I must be heading in the right direction and im confident im eating well.

    I have been advised to take this by a few people but im not convinced - I was more looking from an ibs perspective. My change in diet has greatly improved this but have the odd issue.

    My friend is all up for trying it and im just asking and wondered if anyone had a negative effect from it - more to add to the discussion I had with her as I know discussion will continue.

    I ignore the sarcasm from some - a simple question as I haven't came on to advocate it :)

    It's a laxative. It's going to give you diarrhea. And probably stomach cramps.

    A stimulant laxative? Good for IBS? hmm. I'm doubting that.

    There is one bootea thread per week. Use the search function or just google it.

    Hell just copy and paste this into the google query bar; bootea site:myfitnesspal.com

    Irritable bowel syndrome. As Sabine said, laxatives probably aren't a good idea if you have that.

    I had to explain this one to a coworker. She made the right call and decided not to waste her money on fancy laxatives that'll make her lose temporary water weight, not to mention control of her bowels.
