2 ____ a Day Keeps the Weight Away

Is it your favorite cold or hot coffee drink?

The answer is Oolong tea.  Do you know what is it.  It is a type of green tea. They come
from the same plant:  Camella sinensis however, green tea is more oxidized. and its taste is
between black and green tea.

Hello,

The winter months are a time of revelry and celebration with
plenty of eating and drinking warm concoctions to stay toasty
when the cold winds and snow blow all around you. I have a
friend, let's call her Karen, who always (and easily)
attributes her New Years "presents" of newly rounded hips, a
squishy tummy and overall weight gain to sit down, gorge
yourself holiday meal after meal
. This year, Karen wanted to
give herself a different type of New Years present rather
than the hips and tummy, she wanted to be lean and ready
to conquer 2013.

So, before Thanksgiving, Karen decided she would journal
about what she ate and drank over the holidays. She committed
she would choose to eat more reasonable portions, increase
the amount of greens, vegetables she ate and would reduce
simple carbohydrates and sugars. Essentially, Karen ate
less pie, more green beans and less mashed potatoes.

So, you would think she lost or at least maintained her
pre-thanksgiving weight, right?!

WRONG! She STILL gained weight!!

Karen was confused, frustrated, angry and felt defeated.
She had been so conscious of what she ate, that she was in
disbelief on New Year's Day when her final weigh in revealed
her holiday weight gain.

We looked back on her food journal to assess where the
weight gain came from. I mean, come on, she ate well (during
the holidays even
) and STILL gained weight? It didn't make
sense to either of us but we began to notice, slowly,
something seemingly innocent that might have lead to her
weight gain.

Drinks! Karen would have been out shopping and would stop
at the fancy coffee shop for a specialty
peppermint/pumpkin/winter/whatever sweet latte. Or at a
holiday party and she'd forgotten exactly how many hot toddies
she had drank. Or she drank a few of those holiday thick,
shaky drinks you only have one time a year. But, there they
were- staring at us in black and white on the pages of her journal.

They seemed to be, not so secretly, smiling at her, acknowledging
they were the reason she'd put on weight.

Simply put, Karen hadn't taken into consideration how many
additional calories she consumed with each of those drinks.

Here are some of the drinks we found in Karen's Journal
(These specific drinks themselves might be the wintery
seasonal type…but that just means there is a new seasonal
flavor around the corner, filled with calories, sugar and
weight gain.)



It is NO surprise, after looking up the calorie values of
these drinks, why Karen didn't lose weight this holiday season.
380 calories for a spiced latte?! That's almost an entire meal!
Whether Karen drank these because she was craving something
warm, she wanted an energy boost or just because it was a
habit, there are much healthier options that can achieve
all of these and more.

One great alternative is tea.

Now, I imagine if Karen had ONLY substituted delicious,
warm, soothing cup of tea for any or all of these drinks.
A specific type of tea that aids in not only in weight loss
but can give you more energy and improve your overall health.
That's what studies have shown, 2 cups of tea can help you
lose weight, increase energy levels and improve overall
health.

But, not just any tea, specifically, Oolong Chinese tea
that's been used for centuries for weight loss.

So, I'm guessing you have figured out what the blank is in,
" 2___ a day keeps the weight away?"

It's Cups of Oolong Chinese Tea.

Here's a bit more science from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture

William Rumpler, who's a physiologist for the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, completed a brief 3 day study on how much
energy people expend who drank 4 cups of Oolong tea (greater
amount than most studies suggest is necessary) versus people
who drank 4 cups of water. He and his team found that people
who drank Oolong tea not only spent 3% greater energy,
burned 67 more calories a day but also, the tea drinkers
also had a 12 percent higher fat decomposition rate than
the water drinkers, a finding that led the researchers to
believe that caffeine was not the only reason for a rise
in their metabolic rates.


Am I suggesting that you should stop drinking coffee or
specialty drinks? No, it's ok to treat yourself every once
in a while. Drinking these types of drinks, however, can
often times prevent you from achieving your weight loss
goals like it did for my friend, Karen. By making small
adjustments, you can actually be burning off calories just
by sipping some delicious Centuries tested Oolong tea rather
than adding to your waistline and weight.
