Hi! I’m Sophie Summers, a certified personal trainer, and nutrition coach. I love sharing my passion for nutrition and healthy living with my readers. I believe that healthy living encompasses all areas of our lives (body, mind, and soul). I hope to inspire women to lead an active, healthy, and mindful lifestyle. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey!


But when it comes to detoxification, tea alone isn't enough for the job. "No one food, herb, or remedy has the ability to cure ailments or disease, nor does it have the ability to ‘detox' the body," says Manuel Villacorta, R.D, author of Whole Body Reboot: The Peruvian Superfoods Diet to Detoxify, Energize, and Supercharge Fat Loss. (This is also why you might want to hold off before trying to detox by drinking activated charcoal.)
I was hoping for a gentle detox to help me feel lighter and less bloated, but this didn't work out for me as it seems to have for others. Could be that I wasn't as bloated as I thought? I only needed to lose a few pounds, maybe this is better for someone who really needs the help? There was a coupon in the bag for a free bag in exchange for a review, which always makes me a bit skeptical of a lot of glowing reviews, maybe this was one of those situations.
I started drinking Yogi tea. Weird comments bc my period started out of no where. So weird. But I drink the tea and the next morning experienced the worst feeling of diarrhea, headaches, and naseau. I had chills, and was extremely weak. I hardly could hold myself up. After using the restroom two hours later I was back to normal. I though I was dying NO TEA is worth that.

Iaso Tea claims to detox your body to help with losing weight more efficiently and clearing your body of harmful toxins. Their claims of purifying the blood and regulating bowel function also go into this category as well. The claim also seems a bit bold to us since the human body has it’s very own way of breaking down and removing these toxins such as our liver, kidneys, and skin. There isn’t much research done to prove that our body needs extra help with these functions, which makes it a bit useless. 
Lemongrass is a plant. The leaves and oil are used for medicine. It is used in Asian cuisine, and as a fragrance in soaps and cosmetics. Lemongrass is used to help with exhaustion. Several studies explore the benefits of lemongrass. According to a study published in Journal of Ethnopharmacology, “In all the tests employed, oral doses of [lemongrass] were without effect.

The hemp extract provided in the Iaso Tea product is equipped with three additional extracts and combined with 2 grams of Nutriose FM06 (which is non-GMO soluble dextrin fiber). Hemp has been widely accepted and recognized for its many health benefits when ingested and used on the skin. The popular benefits provided in this formula of Iaso tea with hemp extract include help with weight loss, improved sleep, a boost in energy, weight management, and improved skin conditions. 
Of all the liver cleansing teas I have tried, this is by far the best taste. I was drinking a glass in the morning and another at night. Then I had the great idea of letting steep all day long and drink it on the way home from work; that was a bad idea as it gave me diarrhea ... so don't steep it all day. I will follow up later with the results of next blood work to see if liver enzyme levels are decreasing.
Iaso Tea is a detox tea that helps your body lose weight through detoxing of the body and reducing appetite to prevent overeating. The tea provides these detoxing effects through its natural ingredients that provide detoxing or diuretic effects. You can lose weight and promote a healthy lifestyle for your body by drinking this tea on a daily basis over a period of time. 
Skinny Bunny Tea is a collection of different teas, including their organic Matcha Tea, offering a simple solution to losing weight. These products claim to speed up weight loss and help to reduce hunger and cravings. While the Skinny Bunny Tea collection appears incredibly clean – gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-GMO – and likely beneficial to overall health, the company does not do an adequate job explaining why their tea-based weight loss program is different or superior to any of the dozens of other weight loss solutions available to consumers.
Same experience with Skinny Bunny Tea customer service. I paid for my order on Feb.17 and finally it is being shipped. I tried to contact someone with company this past Monday with no respond via email or cell. I called the company and it went straight to voicemail. I left a message and still no answer. Finally today after my order shipped, some guy named William emailed me and basically said they are having delays due to high demand. Just know, expect the wait!! I most likely will get my package next week. (2 weeks from order date). So I went on instagram and wrote what I just did, and they deleted my comment too. I called them out and they put it back up. But I have been trolling their account and telling people to expect their orders two weeks out. I will never purchase from them again.
I personally have benefited greatly by drinking weight loss tea. Also known as herbal slimming teas, not only are these easily available, they are super delicious and you really do not have to spend hours making them. Detox teas or teetox as they are popularly known, gently cleanse the system, kick-start slow or sluggish digestion and also help in burning fat.

Chocolate - Don’t you wish you could have chocolate and not gain the chocolate weight? Now you can! The rich chocolate flavor overwhelms your taste buds to create a truly satisfying experience. Every cup sends a smooth boost of energy that is perfect to push through the 2:30 feeling while the antioxidants help improve overall health. Immerse yourself in the decadence of this tea and you’ll never be the same again.
In fact, there is no hard evidence backing the claims made by tea companies that their detox teas actually purify human cells. However, high-quality teas can help support the body's natural daily process of detoxification-just as much as other foods and drinks can hurt this system, says Laura Lagano, R.D., a New Jersey-based holistic nutritionist. (Discover more about the health benefits of teas such as chamomile, rosehip, or black tea.)

I don't own a scale for my own mental safety but I can see that my stomach is flatter after 2 weeks if drinking this tea. I had already reduced drinking my calories and increased my water intake before starting this tea and didn't make any dietary changes. The taste is good but I did add honey cuz I like sweet tea. It doesn't make u run to or live in the bathroom either.
As a final word of caution: Select only the best brands of organic and natural detox teas. Many teas contain chemicals, heavy metals and pesticides which will negate your detox efforts. I would also like to take the opportunity to suggest that you keep changing and/or rotating your brands of detox teas as this will make your cleanse even more powerful.
The boldest claim that Iaso Tea provides is that the tea can make you lose five pounds in five days. There is no actual research that proves detox teas can make you lose that amount of weight in such a short amount of time. Nor is it likely that your body could do such a thing in a short amount of time. The harsh reality of that claim is that if you do see fast weight loss results, it will be water weight and not body mass being lost. 

Samantha, yes absolutely! We don’t ever recommend “starve yourself” detoxes. There is a much healthier way to achieve great results than depriving your body of nutrients for a few days. I would recommend sticking to lighter foods though. You can detox from specific things such as sugar and carbs or you can try a smoothie/juice detox. Just try to fill up on salads and veggies rather than heavier stuff like meats during a detox. I hope that helps!
