Forget the latest diet recommendations and exercise fads you have been hearing about. Actually, it can be easier to cut the excess pounds without having to strain yourself. In fact, losing the excess calories can be as easy as just sitting back and taking a cup of tea every day, while relaxing. It sounds so easy, yes, true, it is actually that easy. The herbal tea for weight loss is not a myth, it has worked for very many people, and it can work for you, all you need is to give it a try.

Herbal tea is a very low-calorie beverage and, therefore, reduces the calorie intake. As such, it should be taken as an alternative to the high-calorie beverages. The tea can be made from a wide variety of herbs, the common ones being ginger roots, red raspberry leaf, chamomile, and cinnamon. These herbs contain as little as 2 calories per cup.

However, you are not going to get the desired shape and help benefits from your ordinary G Tips, or even your favorite Tetley's, you have to turn to the new and effective beverages made from exotic leaves. Any brew that is made from a none caffeine or a traditional tea plant is considered an herbal tea.

Consequently, it helps cut down your calorie intake when used as a replacement for the high-calorie sodas, lemonade, juices and the sweetened iced teas. The decreased calorie intake is the starting point for weight loss. There are a variety of herbs that can be used, some of which you might be familiar with already. Some of these include the red raspberry leaf, the ginger roots, cinnamon and the chamomile. Most of these have less than two calories per cup.

Other than the fact that these brews are low in calories, they are also said to minimize the poor dietary choices such as the sugary beverages and other high-calorie choices. When used as soup stock, they reduce the calorie content of the soups.

The other herbs commonly used to make the brew include cinnamon, the red raspberry leaf, the ginger root and the chamomile. The herbs help the consumer minimize the chances of choosing a poor diet. They may come with the additional properties such as the ability to suppress appetite, burning of fat cells, increase the rate of metabolism, and suppress the formation of new fat cells and lipids among others.

White tea brew has the properties that help block the formation of the new fat cells while Rooibos is known to halt hunger. If you want to check your cravings, mint is your best bet. However, most of these have caffeine in them and make it difficult to sleep at night. The herb brews have no caffeine content and are thus your best option.

Catechin is a type of the green tea family that has been found to have compounds that trigger the release of the fats from the belly fat cells and increases the capacity of the liver to burn the fats into the energy. Oolong is the other effective option well known in the scientific and health fields for its ability to increase lipid metabolisms. The other solutions include the mint for its craving-crushing properties, white tea for blocking the formation of new fat cells and Rooibos tea to halt hunger.
