The real problem behind detox and weight loss tea?
Apart from all sort of symptoms mentioned by its users the main problem with weight loss tea, boils down to not being able to provide sustained weight loss!
You would never like to return back to being that same person again, from where you improved.
“The weight loss [from detox teas] is primarily, and probably all, water weight,” Dr. Karin Kratina, a nationally recognized nutrition therapist, tells Teen Vogue. “If true weight loss occurs, it is because a caloric deficit occurred from a change in eating habits.”
The reason is that water weight loss is extremely temporary. It leaves you dehydrated experiencing a false sense of weight loss. As soon as you drink liquids again, the weight right back on.
The other main problem, is the presence of senna leaf as one of the ingredient in this tea.
Senna is a herbal laxative but its prolonged use is not recommended by doctors. Thus, reports of muscular cramps, abdominal pain, bowel related illness and diarrhoea seem to litter many consumer review websites.
