Detox Teas and Weight Loss

Detox teas have been caught up in a media storm as a few celebrities have endorsed them as being a key success factor in their weight loss. This has created a lot of buzz and unrealistic expectations. Keep in mind that detox teas should be a supplement to a well adjusted weight loss plan, not the primary part of the plan. The bottom line is you still need to diet and exercise for them to work. Detox teas are not a magic weight loss bullet. They should be combined with healthy and balanced meals to accelerate your weight loss results.

The following video from Brett Cap, a fitness guru on youtube, does a good job of explaining purpose and plan in conjunction with detox teas to help them do their thing.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is somewhat of a placebo effect with some teas. Particularly teas that combine both diuretics and caffeine. This will trigger the loss of water weight but not actual fat. Two cups of water is equal to 1 pound on a scale, so losing water weight can make you look and feel significantly lighter.

Furthermore, some detox teas will activate a laxative effect. This will cause your body to elimate wastes from your GI tract. This will result in a thinner and flatter looking stomach, even though your lean to fat ratio will remain the same. These illusions of weight loss will quickly evaporate when you return to a normal eating habits and stop drinking tea.
