Book Description

December 26, 2007

It's proven! Tea can be a powerful tool for fast and lasting weight loss.

The Ultimate Tea Diet harnesses tea's incredible weight-loss potential in a straightforward plan for losing weight in a safe and healthy way. Tea's ability to encourage weight loss comes from the synergy of its three main ingredients: caffeine to stimulate, L-theanine to neutralize the harmful side effects of caffeine and act as an appetite suppressant, and EGCG, which causes you to burn fat faster and more efficiently. In other words, tea reduces your appetite and stimulates your metabolism.

Don't worry—you won't go hungry on the Ultimate Tea Diet. The food plan includes tea-based meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as tempting choices for midday snacks and sweet treats. All are made with tea so not only is your food incredibly flavorful, but you're also getting the weight-loss benefits in every single bite you enjoy.

Drinking tea—and maintaining a conscientious focus on good health—can easily become a way of life. Slim down to a leaner, more energetic, and healthier you with the Ultimate Tea Diet.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great and easy way to lose weight quickly, January 8, 2008
This review is from: The Ultimate Tea Diet: How Tea Can Boost Your Metabolism, Shrink Your Appetite, and Kick-Start Remarkable Weight Loss (Hardcover)
I have read this book and found it to be totally fascinating and informative. I have already started the diet and have started shedding pounds but more importantly inches! It's great... they are just melting away. Plus I have more energy and feel great. I bought some of the craving teas on line and love the way they taste. I have a real sweet tooth and they have really helped me stay away from my daily dose of candy and ice cream.
If you want to lose weight and feel great, you have to read this book and try the diet. I'm telling you ....it really works:)

5.0 out of 5 stars A review for the Guys, January 13, 2008
By 
D Mack (Manhattan Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Tea Diet: How Tea Can Boost Your Metabolism, Shrink Your Appetite, and Kick-Start Remarkable Weight Loss (Hardcover)
Like most men, "tea" wasn't in my vocabulary. My fiancée got this book for "US" so we can look our best for our wedding this spring. To make her happy, we read the Ultimate TEA Diet together at night. It did not take long before I realized I was actually learning something of value from this guy and that there may be some common sense to his diet approach. Fair or not, I have lost more weight initially than my fiancée, but we have enjoyed the process together and talk about new teas we try each day. I previously drank a lot of coffee (4-6 cups daily) and sticking to the black and oolong teas initially helped me get past the headaches friends warned me about. The book is informational and gives you a new outlook towards caffeine, acid and your bodies Ph. Full of recipes; rather than a diet, we are beginning some lifestyle changes that even a "meat and potatoes" guy like myself can enjoy. Pleasantly surprised - enjoy the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Dr Tea, January 13, 2008
This review is from: The Ultimate Tea Diet: How Tea Can Boost Your Metabolism, Shrink Your Appetite, and Kick-Start Remarkable Weight Loss (Hardcover)
What a great book!
Imagine, making tea fun!!
I love this book....nothing boring here.
I keep hearing so much lately about tea....now I know why.
The Ultimate Tea Diet tells you everything you need to know about tea .....how to brew the perfect cup of tea, how to make unbelievably delicous tea shakes, how to cook with tea, and so much more.
While I quickly jumped forward to the diet chapters, I found myself
working my way back to earlier chapters....which were very interesting.
I now start each day with green tea, and substitute my snacking with green tea, or frosteas (CappuTeano and mint chocolate chip ice cream my favorites).
I'm losing weight AND inches....It's only been three weeks, but I can almost wear my "skinny" jeans again!
Be sure to check out all the "craving teas" Dr. Tea talks about....that's the fun part.
FYI, the Ultimate Tea Diet website offers all of Dr Tea's craving teas, which makes the diet easy.
Thank you Dr Tea!
