For those who are trying to loose weight,
try chinese herbal slimming teas,
Da Yin Xiang Jian Fei or Bishengyuan tea or similar.
They are natural and really effective. |

I've always been skeptical of weight loss without any real change to diet or exercise. I did a quick Google search on Da Yin Xiang Jian Fei and I couldn't find any real scientific information about how it works or what properties of this tea cause weight loss.
I really don't need to lose weight and I don't drink tea for its health benefits, but does anyone know if or why these teas work or is this thread just spam? |

Although I do not personally subscribe to the wulong slimming tea, etc...I cannot completely discount it either. I think it depends grewatly on the person and what else the person is doing. Some people, tea becomes a substitute for eating and drinking higher calorie drinks and food.
Okimasa, in answer to your question, this does not appear to be spam as no links were posted.
People drink tea for many reasons. |

| No suppliment can make you lose fat without a proper diet, that is 70% responsible for success, and the other 30% is exercise, but green tea, espeacially matcha can help, it is the same deal as with L-Carnitine, this amino acid helps delivering fat to your cells for metabolizing, but only if you consume less calories so that your body needs to utilise fat, and the calorie consumption of your body can be increased by exercise, when you properly exercise and eat right foods in right proportion than tea and other suppliments can make you lose weight a bit faster, in fact green tea ( matcha ) and L carnitine are the only suppliments outside of vitamins that I can recommend for anybody when trying to lose weight especially fat, so please if you have some concern for your health do not use ephedrine (ma-huang), some football players in europe died because of using E/C/A stack Ephedrine/Coffein/Aspirin combination, and stay off steroids, some testosteron derivates can make you lose fat faster than anything on this planet but it also can make you lose your life, worst it makes you impotent, it cuts off your life span. |

Who dares to dispute the word of Oprah Winfrey? Seriously, I don't watch her show so I have no idea what she or her guests really said. Everyone claims that she said Wuyi oolong results in weight loss.

I have noticed that if I drink lots of oolong I eat quite a bit less. This did not result in any weight loss that I know of, but if it did I would credit the oolong for reducing the appetite, not for direct weight loss. It may be that I just swapped water weight for other weight. These are just random observations, as I wasn't trying to lose weight.
One thing that I believe is possible is that drinking tea during or after a meal, especially after consuming oily food, may marginally reduce weight. I am told by many Asian friends and co-workers that they always drink tea after a meal, especially if the food was cooked in oil. They say this cleans out the oil or anything else that is undesireable.
One friend even claims that when he lived in China, poor families used lard for cooking all three meals, every day. They couldn't afford higher quality cooking oil. He said these families were especially careful to drink tea with every meal to reduce or eliminate the unhealthy affects of the lard. He claims that the people in these areas lived long and healthy lives in spite of consuming far more lard than is recommended. |
