Sliming teas are growing in popularity as a weight-loss tool, but do they really work?
Most slimming teas have a laxative and/or diuretic effect, meaning you will be making numerous trips to the loo, but only to expel waste, not fat, so any change on the scale is short-lived.
The teas also contain natural stimulants that claim to boost your metabolism/suppress your appetite. Imagine drinking coffee for weight loss. The effect of the caffeine on your metabolism would be negligible and excessive consumption will leave you wired.
Some slimming teas now include a low calorie/low carb diet plan that should be followed. This will have a more profound effect on your weight than, well, all the tea in China.
As a weight loss tool, slimming teas do not promote fat loss and should not be used a substitute for good old-fashioned diet and exercise.
