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 bought this tea because of the great reviews & I was like looking for something to help with a bloating feeling I’d been having for weeks! I followed the directions & made sure to drink a glass of water before the tea every morning. I feel great! The bloating feeling is gone and I have actually been able to cut my coffee with a lot of cream out of my morning routine! I’ll be buying more for sure!
Dandelion leaf stimulates more urine production, causing excess fluid to leave your body tissues. In this way, it can help you lose water weight and reduce bloating. However, this ingredient may also have a light laxative effect, meaning that it will also increase bowel movements. It may have potential side effects including diarrhea, heartburn and stomach inflammation.l

One thing to watch out for in detox teas, though, is a common ingredient-and herbal laxative-senna. "One part of detoxing is the cleansing of the intestines, and senna aids this process," he explains. While it can be helpful as a night-time drink short-term, taking senna for too long can cause vomiting, diarrhea, electrolyte imbalance, and dehydration. If you feel stopped up, incorporate a senna tea for a few nights (Villacorta recommends Traditional Medicinals Organic Smooth Move). But stick to senna-free varieties for your habitual cup.

Today’s modern American diet AKA S.A.D (Standard American Diet) has left Americans feeling sluggish, bloated, and packing on the pounds due to refined /processed ingredients, trans fats, stabilizers, artificial dyes, artificial flavorings and the lack of whole foods that contain essential nutrients, prebiotics and probiotics that our bodies are craving. What can you do? You can start by making simple yet effective changes, like drinking Zero Tea, water, eating whole foods and moving everyday. Those are life changes that will benefit you everyday for as long as you keep it up.
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!
