Caffeine!!!

Welll caffiene isnt bad for your diet. It can serve as energy and an appetite suprecent. I personally use mio... No calorie water enhancer... The hve a caffeine option as well which is nice. Also mixing in the occasional energy drink isnt gonna kill you either. I prefer the white monster zero calorie one myself

Green tea! It has caffeine in it which boosts metabolism, also detox's body and has been proven to aid weight loss. Squeeze lemon into it or add honey to help it taste better. Or you can buy flavoured green tea. It helps me replace coffee

What exactly does it detox?

OP, you can either cut back little by little or find ways to work them into your calories. I cut back on regular soda to one can a day, then eventually switched to diet to save the calories. I don't drink coffee or tea, so it's my only source of caffeine.

Well no. That's what the makers/sellers want you to believe.
Only a couple of ways to boost metabolic rate: higher intensity exercise or gain more muscle or weight in general.
And "detoxing" is made up jargon by the diet industry trying to convince us that what we eat actually poisons us. Drinking a tea isn't going to remove anything that actually "toxic" to the body.
Weight loss is about calorie deficit, regardless of how much green tea one drinks.

Years back, I managed to lose 70lbs in less than a year. I attribute a lot of that to drinking about a pot of green tea every day. It replaced my coffee (which I drink with a LOT of light cream), it helped keep my stomach full, and it was a great way to avoid boredom snacking.

In other words, you consumed less calories. If the tea helped that's great, but tea itself doesn't reduce weight unless a calorie deficit is instituted along with it.

Exactly. I used the tea mainly as a replacement habit, which worked very well for me.
