Does the weight loss tea thing work and is it safe and can you get it at a store?

Question

I'm 14 and I was wondering if the chinese weight loss tea works and if it's safe for someone my age. Also can you get it at a store because my mom won't let me get it if you have to order it over the internet. Please help!?!?!?!?

Answer 1

No, no, and NO! I wish you young girls would stop looking for the easy way out! There isn't one. And this one especially can be dangerous because it is a diuretic (meaning it empty's the body of fluids) ... and several ingredients in these teas have been shown to cause kidney failure and liver failure. This product will only rid you of short term water weight ... it will never solve the problem like a healthy diet and exercise will.

You must get it into your head now - at 14 - that there's no "quick" fix to losing weight that will last. It will only hurt your body and cause damage ~ that sometimes is irreparable. The best way to keep weight off is to exercise (even for just 30 minutes) at least 5 times a week (you will need more if you are very heavy). Walking is THE safest and best form of exercise.

Also, drinking 64 ounces of water a day (which also helps your skin and joints), eating LOTS of veggies and fruits, and eating VERY little of red meat and high fat foods (like fast food, butter, and white bread). Here is a great link for you to check out ...

Answer 2

It is NOT safe especially in people your age. It contains a string DANGEROUS stimulant that HAS CAUSED DEATH. Just because somethinsg for sale doesnt make it good for you, or even safe

"Another death associated with the same tea is that of Debbie Helphrey, 20" yes ANOTHER death it reads..

Your also still developing your body so keep that in mind

i prefer people a little chubby rather than dead, dont you
(except some politicians maybe )

the best exercise is drop teh fork...dont starve you must eat , but dont go back for teh second helping and ease up snacking.

Drink water before meals and all day long - its good for everyone- and it will help make you feel full

dont eat until your stuffed, t tales about 20 mins for your brain to know youre actually full

exercise, eat properly and dont overeat and youll not only lose weight you;; do it properly and be healthy

I've used it before. It's called Chinese Slim Tea. It works as a laxative. It really works. Every time I drink it I loose about 2-3 lbs, so it's good to manage your weight. However when you drink it the first time you will get a very bad stomachache, but when you drink it regularly, you'll be fine. I live in Southern Cali, and I buy it from an Arab store.It's safe, I've been drinking it for years, and it's also caffeine free. It's not pricey either. It's between 2-4$.

Not sure which tea diet you want but all you have to do is start drinking some green tea which you can buy at the grocery store!! Drink a couple of glasses a day!!
Green tea boosts your metabolism and gives you energy!!
Don't waste your money on fancy "diet tea" fad!!

No tea alone will help you lose weight. That's the problem. It "helps" but only if you are exercising and eating properly.

use a vegetable bean dip such as hummus instead of ranch dressing or a fatty cream based dip
