Why did drinking weight-loss tea actually lead to weight gain

The weight gain after drinking weight reducing tea may be related to factors such as water retention, increased compensatory eating, and in a few cases related to product composition or physical differences. Weight loss tea usually contains diuretic or metabolic promoting ingredients, but the actual effect varies from person to person. Some weight loss teas contain diuretics or laxatives, which may cause water loss and false weight loss in the short term. After stopping drinking, the body will re store water, leading to weight regain. Some people experience hunger due to accelerated gastrointestinal motility after drinking, which in turn increases their intake of high calorie foods. Some products may contain added sugars or hormone substances, and long-term consumption may disrupt metabolic balance. In rare cases, individuals who are sensitive to certain components in weight loss tea may experience edema. People with thyroid dysfunction who consume tea drinks containing stimulating ingredients such as caffeine may exacerbate metabolic disorders. Long term use of some traditional Chinese medicine ingredients such as cassia seed and senna leaf may damage intestinal function and affect nutrient absorption efficiency.

It is recommended to choose pure tea drinks without additives, combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Avoid relying on a single weight loss product, and adult women should not drink more than 500 milliliters of tea per day. If edema or abnormal weight gain persists, endocrine or kidney problems should be promptly investigated. Healthy weight loss should follow the principle of calorie difference, and the weekly weight loss should not exceed one percent of the body weight.
