If you scroll through Instagram, it is hard not to come across some celebrity endorsing one of the many “teatoxes.” Everyone from Kylie Jenner to Vanessa Hudgens seems to be sipping these miracle teas. There are many different brands of teas such as Flat tummy tea, Fit tea, Bootea, etc. but they all make very similar claims. They advertise that they can boost your energy, promote an increase in metabolism and weight loss and decrease bloating. The real question is are any of these claims true? After a summer of improving my eating and exercising more, I had hit a weightless plateau and decided to try Fit Tea to see if I could break through it and also see if it just worked in general. As someone who hates tea, I thought that this wasn’t going to be that fun but I was surprised. The tea tasted amazing and it was super easy to remember to drink it every morning or before a workout. Also, it did not make you excessively go to the bathroom like I feared it would. However, the results of the other claims varied...
1. Energy
I have to admit that I did feel a lot more energetic. Coffee is something that doesn’t really boost my energy at all so I was surprised this tea actually worked for me. I found it best to drink the tea before a work out because it really helps you to power through and push a bit harder.
2. Bloating
There is no denying the results when it came to bloating. My stomach appeared so much flatter it was incredible. I would recommend this product to anyone just because of how well it helped with bloating.
3. Weight loss/boosted metabolism
Honestly there was no real change on the scale for me. I did not seem to lose any weight so that boosted metabolism thing is probably not correct.
In conclusion, will this tea give you the body of your dreams and turn you into Kylie Jenner? No, it will not. Weight loss can only come from eating right and exercise and all those fit people who advertise this tea on Instagram look the way that they do through living a healthy lifestyle. However, this tea can help you to just look a little better with decreasing bloating and can help boost your energy.
