weight loss made simple
Many times I do a black tea kidney cleanse by boiling black tea leaves, about 4-5 tea spoons and then reducing the concentrate to half and then reconstituting by adding the water back and drinking it .
What do you think happens after I drink it first thing on an empty stomach?
Within half an hour all the water retention just flushes out so rapidly via urination and my hunger goes for a toss, thereafter I do not feel hungry sometimes for the next 4- 5 hours . Caffeine has the efficacy to suppress the hunger hormones. But it may also affect your heartbeat, your blood pressure and make you nervous .
When I was doing this quite often an involuntary weight loss resulted by as much as 10 kilos after about an years time .
I do not recommend you try something as harsh as this as this may result in a loss of minerals from your body if done too often and can also be a little harsh on your heart .
But yes I have been doing the green tea every time I feel a compulsive impulse to eat / eat sugary/ comfort foods .
Green tea has the same effect - it turns on the metabolism, controls your blood sugar and kills mindless hunger. It works every time I try it .
Now Incredio refresh tea which is lemon and honey flavoured goes one step ahead, it not only includes green tea but also green coffee bean extract, which is nothing but un-roasted coffee beans that have not been processed . This ensures high anti-oxidant properties that are reduced significantly when you consume the black roasted variety which we all normally do.
Dr Oz speaks very highly of coffee bean extract on his show The Dr OZ show . But his claims are still disputed by some health gurus .
Not only green tea and green coffee bean extract is a part of this incredio refresh tea we also have guarana seed that also support weight loss, controlling blood sugar, hunger and metabolism much the same way as green tea+ green coffee bean extract .
So incredio refresh tea hence is a combo of green tea+ green coffee bean extract+ guarana seeds all of there are great antioxidants and control mindless eating thus resulting in weight loss . There are enough tests done in this area to support this claim .
The only mistake that was made was to include an artificial sweetener called sucralose(INS 955) though FDA approved there are studies that show it does have some -ve effects which could even be obesity and diabetes . Though there is no clear cut verdict and many contradictory statements float around the research .
I advise you to test the facts and do your own research on sucralose .
This tea also has Orange pekoe which is a distinctive variety of black tea in the form of an extract, with numerous health benefits . This drink also uses a vitamin+mineral premix which is great as many a times compulsive eating can be brought about by nutritional deficiencies alone.
Other than that I'm confident this drink that's made by adding chilled/ hot water to the serving is a great weight loss aid, It works for me for sure and i'm sure it will work for you too.
Though I'm a little skeptical of ordering it again and again for lack of evidence that shows sucralose is a benign artificial sweetener, why did they not use a natural sweetener called stevia? that's zero calories and zero carbs and zero glycemic index. They could also have used coconut sugar with very low GI(almost half of regular refined sugar).
Maybe the cost was a factor I guess . Coconut sugar can cost upwards of 800 INr a kilo .
Anyways I recommend this drink but i'm a little wary of sucralose .
The 150 g lemon and honey pack is sold for 315 Rupess on both healthkart.com and amazon.in though the MRP is a lot higher at Rs 450/-
I'm taking off 2 points for planting enough doubts in my mind by including sucralose a supposedly safe but still under the scanner artificial sweetener .
How to consume
Just add 5 grams or 1 scoop of Incredio Refresh Tea, lemon and honey mix in 180 ml of hot or chilled water. Stir Well and Enjoy!
Related advice- I also recommend physical exercise 5 times a week for a minimum of 30 minutes a day, getting testing for TSH to rule out hypothyroidism, cutting on carbs and including 5 different servings of fruits and vegetables . Also including incredio-shake-a-meal, every morning or any other source of good protein to further rev up the metabolism, especially with breakfast .Don't consume your calories as liquids even if they are fruit juices .
Preferably make your own protein shake with few cherries and berries or a banana thrown in to make it more palatable and bolster the fiber . Select a quality protein powder minimally processed .Allow me to share a great video by Dr Hyman- on youtube -10 Day Detox Diet Recipes - Dr Mark Hyman Detox Smoothie
This is better than most processed meal replacement shakes which may be a chemical horror or cocktail themselves .
its very important to consume real whole foods, as the ones that are processed are difficult to break down and add to the toxic sludge . What you cant break down you will end up storing in your body. Refined foods are many times stripped of essential fiber and enzymes, making them difficult to break down . You are not Obese you are toxic from an overdose of factory foods . Just as common salt holds onto water and results in Oedema or dropsy in the body. A toxic body holds onto fats that it won't let go unless you detox and eating real fresh whole food is a very simple weight loss strategy hence . So is wheatlessness .Stress acts like a toxin in itself, we don't want hormone cortisol pumping in our veins . Stress by itself may shift you from fat-burning to fat-storing mode
Eat like the caveman, who consumed nuts and seeds, roots, fruits, veggies, cherries and berries and you won't need to count your calories where you are allowed unlimited refills .
If you are eating right and still obese it's a result of compromised physical and or emotional health, Create health and see the pounds melt away as a side effect of creating health .
