There are a variety of dieting teas on the market you might have seen that tell you by drinking them, you’ll lose 10 pounds overnight. Obviously, if you see one of those, chances are it’s nothing more than marketing hype. However, there are actually some more natural dieting teas out there that can help you drop around 3-5 pounds in the form of excess water weight, or built-up wastes in the digestive tract. If you suffer constipation, bloating problems, or general digestive problems, some forms of dieting teas may help you after all. They don’t target direct fat, but instead target built-up fluids and wastes in the body. When you buy dieting teas, you need to be very careful that you buy a reputable brand that is safe, and you don’t overuse them. Not only can they harm you if they are from a cheap brand with dangerous herbs, but they can also hurt you if overused. The natural dieting teas below are from some of the most trusted brands on the market, and ones that are also highly effective.
1 Laci Le Beau’s Super Dieter’s Tea
This is one of the most popular dieting teas on the market, and you can find it at most common grocery stores, online health stores, and drugstores. It’s also one I’ve used for years during that time of the month when I have excess bloating, or when digestive issues strike up. With a combination of safe herbs, this product will help you combat bloat, water retention, and constipation if that’s an issue. After emailing the company, I confirmed this product is gluten-free though it isn’t certified gluten-free. It also comes in many flavors and varieties. I recommend the cinnamon flavor if you decide to give it a try!
Frequently asked questions
2 Yogi Green Tea
Green tea is a unique tea that’s often promoted as a weight loss tea. It’s true that green tea can help you lose, but not just by raising your metabolism. All forms of green tea, even decaf, have been proven to combat bloating and constipation. Green tea has a diuretic effect naturally, as well as a calming effect on the digestive tract, helping to alleviate constipation. It also has natural anti-anxiety properties that can help control cortisol levels in your body, helping you store less fat. It won’t work overnight, but over the course of a few weeks you’ll see a major difference. Drink it twice daily, and try to buy organic when you can. Green tea is 100% safe as well. I like the Yogi brand since it tastes great, is affordable, and is organic. It comes in both decaf and regular, along with some flavored varieties.
3 Traditional Medicinals Weightless Tea
Traditional Medicinals is an organic line of herbal and medicinal teas that you’ll find at almost any common health store, grocery store, or online health market. Weightless helps combat bloating due to constipation, poor digestion, or stress. It can also help alleviate excess water weight. With a combination of completely natural and safe organic herbs, you’ll also love the delicious taste of this tea. It’s most effective if you drink it during mealtime, or directly after. I suggest drinking it warm since that will enhance its effects.
4 Yogi Detox Tea
You may have already seen this popular tea at health food stores. It’s a wonderful blend of detoxifying herbs that naturally help stimulate digestion and relieve bloating. It’s great to have if you haven’t been eating so well lately, or if you’re stressed. The specific herbs used in this tea can help relieve water weight gain, constipation, and help quell cravings. It’s not a miracle tea, so you should still eat, but along with a healthy eating plan, this detox tea can be a remarkable companion to a healthy diet. It’s also warming to the body and very soothing if you have a cold or other kind of illness, since it will help draw toxins out of the body naturally.
5 Triple Leaf Super Slimming Tea
Triple Leaf is a brand that specializes in Chinese blends of herbal teas. Super Slimming Tea helps to alleviate gas, constipation, bloating, and water weight gain. It also helps to cleanse the stomach. When used on a needed basis, this tea is most effective. It also has a pleasant taste with slightly spicy and fruity flavors. You can find it at specialty health stores, or online anywhere herbal teas are sold.
6 Slim Tea
Slim Tea is a popular brand of tea that features a special blend of Oolong tea that helps with digestion, cleansing, and weight loss. It is stimulant and laxative free. It especially helps to clear up excess fluids and issues with slow digestion. It also comes in many varieties and is available online through retailers like Amazon.com. You may find it in many health food stores as well.
7 Triple Leaf Ultra Slim Tea
Another good slimming tea by Triple Leaf brand is called Ultra Slim. It is somewhat similar to the Super Slimming Tea above, but has a few herbs, fruits, and spices that help combat cravings and low blood sugar. It also promotes digestion and can lead to reduced water weight. You can find it online, or anywhere herbal tea products are sold in stores.
When choosing an herbal tea, be sure you read the label above all else. Some will have laxative ingredients that come strictly from herbs like senna. These should be used only when absolutely necessary since senna is a controversial herb that many people don’t agree with. Others that are made strictly of herbs can be used as often as you like. Please note, you should also never use any dieting teas that might harm you, or use them in place of eating. Do not drink these to lose a lot of weight, but instead, use them to help combat excess fluids in the body, or if you’re having trouble with digestion. If you’ve ever used a dieting tea, which ones do you recommend?
