Throughout history in the orient teas have been used for many medicinal purposes. In China, Japan and Taiwan Oolong Tea is a staple and has many healthy benefits especially weight loss. Today many companies are taking advantage of the clinically tested benefits of herbal teas and are marketing them for these proven healthy aspects to the western world. Oolong (also known as Wu Long the Slimming Tea) not only helps you lose weight it also: is good for your skin, reduces stress, slows the aging process and reduces tooth decay. To have a healthy weight loss diet this is how I use Oolong.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Oolong Tea
  1. Step 1
     

    In the Morning. The first thing I do in the morning is come down and cut on the tea kettle to warm some water. Then I get my first glass of water (I drink about 10 a day). When the water is Hot I steep my tea and have a cup before breakfast. Oolong provides healthy weight loss benefits by increasing your metabolism. As we increase our metabolism we also energy. Therefore, Oolong is an energy boost and very helpful to start the day. Much healthier for you than that first cup of coffee.

  2. Step 2

    Before Lunch. Typically, I get two cups of tea from my tea bags and I have a cup before lunch as well. Admittedly this is easy for me as I work from home. Maybe you can not have your second cup until the evening. The increased energy we get is also needed throughout the day.

  3. Step 3
    Tevalize Oolong Tea

    Before dinner. Have you noticed a pattern. I drink three to four cups a day. I always drink them before meals. I usually drink water as well.
    The other benefit is that i have less of an appetite. Even though I eat 6 small portions a day (breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, evening snack) I am never hungry and my body digests my food better. Furthermore, I am energized all day.

Tips & Warnings
  • drink at least 2 cups of Oolong Tea daily
  • drink Oolong to start your day
  • Drink Oolong anytime you need natural energy
  • I do not add sugar. It may take you a while to enjoy tea without the fattening, disease causing sweeteners that we are used to but I would avoid any refined sugar

on 1/9/2009 Very nice. I'm getting some of this tea. Is it ok to sweeten it? Or will that negate some of the positive effects of the tea?
