Is it true that tea helps you loose weight?

I think these "slimming teas" are some sort of laxative that makes you go to the bathroom a whole lot. They say that it cleans your body of toxins and makes you release it through bowel movement. Personally, I never liked the taste of tea. My boyfriend's sister was using a tea called cancunis, or something and she claimed she lose weight.

some teas will stop the urge to want to eat and in that way will surely help you lose weight. That is the key. To find ways that you feel satisfied and as a result do not feel the need to take in extra calories..

Well being British i drink tea several times a day, and have been doing so almost all my life, and i doubt very much that it has any affect on my weight, but who knows if i stopped drinking it maybe i'd put loads on? Anyway, i think if you are drinking green teas, fruit teas or herbal teas they will detoxify you and thus help you to loose weight but only if you are also following a balanced diet and exercising regularly.

My dad is a fat man, and he likes drink tea, and he becomes thinner and thinner day by day, but he drink only green tea. I think the main reason is that he drinks too much water everday and tea can melt grease, then it is hard to form fat. I suggest u to drink too much water everday, it is good for your health. If you know other good ways to lose weight, please give me a response, thank you.

Make tea a dessert -- particularly this stuff called Earl Grey de la Creme from Dragonwater Tea Co. It's rich, slightly sweet, with a little vanilla, lavender and black tea taste that make it better than most desserts IMO.

There are certain tea products that claim that you will loose weight when you drink them. The most popular I know in the Philippines is BioFit Tea. However, this is actually a harmful laxative that can lead to more serious illnesses and impaired bowel movements if you are not careful. See: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1335015/this_slimming_tea_doesnt_work.html However, the natural teas help with detoxification and with better/proper digestion :) Just make sure that you're drinking natural tea and not the overly processed commercial products :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Well yes these slimming teas are actually true because whne you take them, it would make your bowel movement more aggressive and you will take out more waste and that will help you lose weight.

if you drink a cup of tea instead of eating a cake, yes.
