Hello everyone!!
Any suggestions on which tea is most beneficial for weight loss? I've been drinking green tea for the past few months and pretty sick of it lol. Any ideas??

    Tea doesn't cause weight loss calories do. That being said tea has none and is better than pop. It's also a stimulant albeit a mild one and can cause you to want to move

    It inadvertently helps with weight loss by being zero calories, being in water (which is filling), and having caffeine to stave hunger. The only thing it's going to do is maybe help you not eat as much

    Some teas can help with medical conditions that could make it harder to lose weight, but as for weight loss, teas don't help much with that. As long as the tea isn't full of calories.

    The only teas that could mimic weight loss are some herbal teas that contain herbs with diuretic properties [like lemongrass], but weight loss from these are just water weight, not actual fat.

    Herbal teas can soothe or excite your digestion which may affect water balance to the degree that there is noticeable change in the scale, however it might be just temporary unless the tea makes you so full you can have smaller meals. Go to the library and read up on herbs or go to http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed. I love green tea with ginger and lemon!

    I drink a lot of black tea everyday and it does nothing for weight loss. Green tea tastes revolting (to me), and also does nothing for weight loss.

    I agree with this.

    It's only good for weight loss if you drink tea when you otherwise would eat. When I first started and would want to eat I'd get some tea (or more often coffee) and that satisfied me.

    I like herbal teas for chilling and making into iced tea.

    Green tea has no health benefits.

    I've drank tea, mainly black tea, for most of my life, even when I was heavy. It has had no effect on my weight one way or the other..it's just a nice refreshing way to stay hydrated.

    None. None at all.

    All they do is make your wallet lighter.

    By purchasing weight loss teas, you're essentially making payments toward the CEOs seventh Lamborghini.
