How Do Detox Teas Help You Lose Weight?

People look to detox for any number of reasons. Some people simply struggle to maintain a healthy weight and fight a constant battle with obesity. Some receive doctor’s orders to lose weight for health reasons. Others are just looking to shed a few pounds to get back to their desired weight (as with postpartum weight).

Whatever the reason, weight loss rarely comes easily, and often leaves people frustrated and unsuccessful. There are plenty of diet plans and extreme workout plans out there, but at the end of the day, successful weight loss involves burning more calories than you eat and exercising regularly.

However, along with the hard work involved in weight loss, there are often many helpful steps you can take to help you along the way. One of those steps is drinking detox teas.

Detox teas have become pretty popular with several celebrities, and have caused a lot of speculation as to their actual effectiveness, but this is probably due to the misconception that the tea is a permanent weight loss solution in and of itself. Taken as a supplement to weight loss though, it can be an incredibly effective addition to your diet and exercise plan.

How Does Detox Tea Help With Weight Loss?

Detox tea is helpful in that it can often provide the kickstart people are looking for, which then gives them the impetus to keep going on their weight loss journey. It can also help people overcome those pesky weight loss plateaus that sometimes occur.

One hindrance to weight loss is a slow metabolism. Anyone who has tried to lose weight after 30 can attest to things slowing down and becoming increasingly more difficult as you age.

Detox teas often contain certain ingredients, namely caffeine, which can raise your metabolic rate. When you’re metabolic rate goes up, your body is able to burn more calories, even when you aren’t active. Caffeine also increases your adrenaline levels, which can assist in fat break down.

Another reason detox tea can be an effective aid in weight loss is that it is a naturally low calorie drink, meaning you are not only targeting toxin-removal and energy boosting, but you are also just keeping your calorie count lower by replacing certain drinks or snacks with your tea.

Ways to Drink your Detox Tea

Use It To Replace Other Drinks or Snacks

During your detox, you should drink Teami Skinny before or with a light breakfast. Replacing your morning coffee with tea can start your day off with a natural digestive aid, as well as increase feelings of fullness after breakfast. If you’re prone to snacking, this can help to curb that tendency in the hours following your first meal.

While it’s certainly important to make sure you are getting enough calories, it can often be very difficult to cut back significantly on food intake, especially if you are used to overeating on a regular basis.

One way to combat this is to drink a cup of tea to combat cravings and take away those false hunger pangs created by unhealthy snacking habits. Late afternoon and late evening are often very tempting snacking times. Your Teami tea leaves can be used 2-3 times throughout the day again by just adding hot water! Every other night, you should be drinking Teami Colon!

Replace your typical go-to snack with a cup of detox tea and you’ll find that it satisfies hunger and improves digestive health.

We all know that it’s important to drink plenty of water during the day, and that’s true! But it can be so important during your detox process to stay hydrated and help results.

Use It With Intermittent Fasting

Detox teas are often used in conjunction with intermittent fasting, a weight loss method that has gained some traction and has been scientifically proven to improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.

There are many ways to use intermittent fasting to aid weight loss. The 5:2 diet is one, in which a person eats normally five days a week but eats less than 500 calories the other two days. Another is to simply consume all of your calories within an eight hour span of the day, and fast the other 16 hours (about half of that time is spent sleeping).

Detox teas are a great way to supplement your fasting plan, providing nutrient-rich, low calorie drinks to your fasting days or hours.

Use It To Kickstart Weight Loss by Reducing Water Weight

One of the main reasons detox teas are often praised for their results is because they can kickstart weight loss by significantly reducing water weight in the body. When certain eating habits (particularly involving additives or high salt content) are combined with not getting enough water it can lead to retention of water weight. Detox teas, combined with increasing water intake, as well as liquid-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, smoothies), are a great way to begin a weight loss journey.

As you increase water intake, your body will produce greater amounts of urine and sweat, and flush unnecessary fluids out. In response, there is the potential to drop a few pounds, as well as reduce bloating and swelling.
