Recently, I have been seeing various gods claiming to be able to lose weight while lying down on my social media The advertisement for Qicha drink, accompanied by tempting before and after comparison pictures, makes people unable to resist the urge to place an order. But don't rush to your wallet for now, are these so-called 'fat reducing teas' really reliable? Let's look at the tricks from a scientific perspective.
1. The truth about metabolic tea drinks
1. Ingredient analysis
Common fat reducing teas on the market mainly contain diuretic ingredients (such as corn silk), substances that promote intestinal peristalsis (such as senna leaves), and a small amount of caffeine. In the short term, weight loss actually refers to the loss of water and intestinal contents.
2. Potential risks
Long term use of tea drinks containing laxatives may lead to electrolyte imbalances and intestinal dysfunction. Some products were also found to have illegally added prohibited ingredients such as sibutramine.
2. The correct way to lose weight in a healthy way
1. Adjust the diet structure
Increase the intake of high-quality protein and dietary fiber, and reduce refined carbohydrates. Each meal is guaranteed to have 1/2 vegetables, 1/4 protein, and 1/4 staple food.
2. Improve lifestyle habits
Ensure 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep and avoid staying up late. Excessive stress can lead to an increase in cortisol and hinder fat breakdown.
3. Moderate exercise
does not require vigorous exercise, brisk walking 6000 steps a day can effectively improve basal metabolic rate. Combining resistance training yields better results.
3. Safe tea drinks that can be tried
1. Barley tea
is rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, which can increase satiety. No caffeine, suitable for all day consumption.
2. Oolong tea
has a high content of tea polyphenols, which can gently enhance metabolism. Be careful to avoid drinking on an empty stomach, no more than 1000ml per day.
3. Chenpi Hawthorn Tea
Chenpi regulates qi and hawthorn helps digestion. Suitable for consumption after meals, but use with caution for those with excessive stomach acid.
There is no shortcut to healthy weight loss, and products that claim "no exercise, no diet" often carry hidden risks. Instead of pursuing rapid weight loss, it is better to establish a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. Remember, any weight loss method that requires sacrificing health is not worth trying. Starting today, by eating well, maintaining a regular schedule, and exercising moderately, your body will give you the best feedback.
