I waited until I was half way through the 14 days to write this review. This is the first time I have tried a detox tea or any detox for that matter. I want to start by saying it arrived on time without damage to the product or box.
I am a 44 year old elementary school teacher. I changed my diet and exercise routine four months ago and have lost 18.2 lbs. Although I was very pleased with myself I felt bloated and exhausted at the end of my school day. I walk 4 - 5 miles a day and drink 75 ounces of water each day as well.
I began on a Sunday in case there were any adverse reactions, like having to run to the bathroom frequently. I did go more often but not much more. No cramping or discomfort.
The taste - I am quite picky and have never been a tea drinker in the past but I paid for it so I was going to drink it. The best description I can give is Lipton unsweetened sun tea. It was shocking at first but now a week into it I barely notice the taste at all.
I have noticed that I have more energy toward the end of my day. In the morning I drink a protein shake and do not feel it is a sufficient meal to drink the detox tea with. I wait until recess (10:30) when I eat an Icelandic yogurt and fresh fruit before I brew and drink the tea. I teach until 4:00 daily and am usually exhausted by the time I get home. I have noticed that I am able to continue teaching with more energy and enthusiasm then before (thats huge!).
Weight - Now remember, I've already changed my eating habits and have been exercising prior to drinking this tea so nothing changed other than drinking the tea. From Friday to Friday I lost 3 pounds! (Excited cheers)
Before you say it was all water weight you should know that I thought the same thing. But I have a scale that measures BMI, Water Weight and Muscle Mass and it recorded my water weight as 49.6 when I began and 50.1 after my first week. (Please see photos)
I have not bloated even though it was the week before my cycle. I feel better all around. My jeans are not as tight and my yoga pants are definitely looser than I'd like them to be (time to shop).
One thing I need to research is whether I can only drink the tea two weeks a month or if I can continue using this tea daily. Is there another tea that is daily? I will continue looking and update should I find viable answer.
I hope this helps. (Sorry for the lengthy post but I appreciate thorough posts when it comes online purchases)
