Herbal tea, or green tea, is generally made with a combination of black tea and Chinese green tea oolong. The ingredients formed together in water when the tea is made.
Some of the known benefits of drinking herbal teas for weight loss include:
- Increased metabolism
- Reduced cholesterol
- Digests fatty foods easier
- Detoxifies the body
- Suppresses the appetite
As you can see, these are some very good benefits, but before you run off though and begin drinking it by the gallon, there are some things to be aware of.
Too much green tea can lead to some very unpleasant side effects such as:
- Diarrhea
- Cramps
- Nausea
- Fainting
Like anything else, moderation is always the key. Also, make sure that any herbal tea you buy is FDA approved.
This is only a brief overview on the benefits of using herbal teas with a weight loss program. I will try to review some of the various types of herbal teas available in future posts as I try some of them out.
Green tea is also an option in the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet Plan. You can find out much more on this program by going to Fat Loss 4 Idiots.
