Many manufacturers produce different flavor varieties of dieter's tea. Dieter's tea usually is promoted as containing all natural ingredients. It works mainly as a bowel stimulant and may curb the appetite as well. Because drinking dieter's tea promotes weight loss by means of being a laxative, it is best for short-term use to quickly lose weight.
Ingredients
Several companies produce dieter's tea, each with variations in flavors and herbs. Dieter's tea usually is caffeine-free or contains only trace amounts of caffeine. Rather than tea that is made from tea leaves, as with green or black tea, dieter's tea contains herbs for weight loss and herbs for flavor. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a common added sweetener in dieter's tea; it is natural, produced from plant leaves, and will not raise blood sugar. Senna (Cassia angustifolia) is one of the main ingredients in most varieties of dieter's tea and is a common homeopathic laxative. Chinese Mallow (Malva verticellata) is another diuretic found in many types of dieter's tea. Some dieter's tea may contain orange peel (Citrus reticulata) as an appetite suppressant and ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) as an appetite suppressant and general stimulant. Chamomile and peppermint may be added for flavoring.
Weight Loss
Dieter's tea usually is used for weight loss purposes. Dieters who find success with dieter's tea are most likely getting fast but not permanent effects. The herbs found in dieter's tea may cause diarrhea and cramping, and most boxes of dieter's tea will offer a warning to the customer regarding this. This laxative effect can be dangerous and even addicting, and it may cause withdrawal symptoms. The initial weight loss from dieter's tea most likely is caused from a loss of fluid and may be followed by bloating, thus causing a negative dieting cycle. Some of the appetite suppressants found in dieter's tea may be helpful and safe for natural weight loss.
Colon Cleanse
Colon cleanses are used to completely cleanse the body of toxins. These toxins build up due to overeating, excessive protein intake and generally poor diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrates. Because of the high amount of natural diuretics, dieter's tea can work as an effective colon cleanse.
Constipation Relief
Constipation, or irregular and difficult evacuation of the bowels, is a common ailment. Dieter's tea can help alleviate constipation issues by acting as a laxative. Dieter's tea will provide natural relief from constipation and may encourage more regular and frequent bowel movements.
How to Use
Dieter's tea comes packaged in individual tea bags. Boil water in a tea kettle, and pour the water into a cup with one teabag. Steep the dieter's tea for at least two minutes, and drink the tea hot or cold. Always follow the instructions provided on the package. Some brands of dieter's tea caution on drinking more than one cup in a 24-hour period, while some brands encourage drinking three cups throughout the day, after each meal.
