have you heard about this weight loss tea?

Question

a friend of mine came over with some pu erh tea and bragged she had lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks from just drinking the tea. so i did some googling and found out this really is a tea that people in china drink as their "main" drink! i mean they drink it over there as much as we drink coke and pepsi. no wonder they are so thin! while searching, i also discovered many people are using it to lose weight and cleanse their systems. has anyone tried this tea with positive results?

wikipedia says it reduces cholesterol and body fat.

sorry jackson, this stuff does not contain senna. thats not how it works. not only that but your ballerina tea is not the tea i'm speaking of.

Pu erh tea appears to stimulate lipolysis in the adipose tissue, and thus could have an effect in inducing weight loss. Pu erh tea enhances vasodilation and blood flow in human subjects, an action with implications for lipolysis. Studies have documented that pu erh ingestion reduces triacylglycerol in human subjects carrying specific alleles. Gallic acid present in pu erh tea extract suppresses food intake in animals. Pu erh components such as theaflavins, modulates AP1 (activator protein 1), a nuclear binding protein (transcription factor), an action relevant to weight loss. They also inhibit IkappaB kinase (IKK), an enzyme activity implicated in the promotion of obesity.

Answer 1

I have tried it. It is not so much weight loss inthat it burns up calories, It contains the mineral senna, which is also in many laxatives. In other words, it assists weight loss by promoting regularity. I have a box of it called "3 Ballerina Tea" purchased from a Chinese shop nearby.

If someone knows of a real weight-loss tea, please speak up.

So, Lisa, where did your friend get this tea? Its called pu erh? Is that the brand name or the actual name of the tea? Thanks

Answer 2

I have tried everything and what your friend is not telling you is that she probably didn't eat during the time period when she was taking the tea. What they mean by cleanse their system is that they were going to the bathroom over and over again while not eating resulting in rapid weight lost. Although it sounds harsh it is safe. But keep in mind if you decide to use the tea diet after you lose the weight, if you go back to the lifestyle that you are living now you not only will gain back the weight you lost but extra weight in unexpected places. believe me I know
