Tea for Weight Loss
Slimming down isn't always easy, but Fraser Tea’s organic weight loss tea is here to help. Added sugars in soda pops, juices, and energy drinks can really add up, affecting areas like your thighs, belly, and everywhere in between. Ditch the sugar and make a simple swap to all-natural zero calorie tea. Even more importantly, tea can transform how your body deals with fats, promote gut health, and aid in preventing obesity.
Now, let's explore why these teas are so effective. Polyphenol compounds, which are special antioxidants found in tea, play a crucial role in supporting your weight loss journey. Different teas have varying amounts of these compounds, such as green tea with its epigallocaetechin-3 gallate or black tea with theaflavins. Each type of tea contributes in it’s specific way to helping you shed those extra pounds.
Let’s review the 5 main types of organic tea to assist you on your weight loss journey so you can achieve your health goals.
Organic Green Tea
If you're looking to shed some pounds, green tea and matcha have your back. Studies show that sipping on green tea may help you lose weight, reduce body mass, and trim down belly fat. Let’s review the 2 main ways green tea does that.
1. Boosting Gut Health
Organic Green teas, like our Soothing Lemon Mint and Honey Ginseng aren’t just a tasty beverage; they are like a superhero for your gut. The polyphenols in green tea team up with your gut bacteria, promoting the growth of the good guys and putting the brakes on the bad ones. This teamwork can fix imbalances caused by unhealthy diets and support the bacteria that help with breaking down fats. (1)
2. Turning Up the Heat for Weight Loss
We often hear about caffeine boosting metabolism, but green tea does more. It kicks things up a notch in a way that's way better than your regular caffeine buzz. The thermogenic effect of tea is like a party for your brown fat that burns calories.
This magic happens because of a friendly interaction between polyphenols and caffeine. They work together to keep the fat-burning party going, which can be super helpful for managing weight. (2) It's most effective when you make it a long-term habit, keep the doses moderate, and if you're carrying a bit of extra weight. (3)
Organic Black Tea
Do you ever find that sipping on a cup of our Hot Spicy Cinnamon Black Tea helps curb your food cravings? It's not about tricking your brain into believing you've indulged in something sweet and delightful when you haven't. There is another science at play here. Let's delve into the science behind why this sense of satisfaction occurs, as supported by scientific studies.
Appetite Suppression:
Firstly, cinnamon spice may help suppress your appetite by stabilizing your blood sugar levels and delaying gastric emptying – this makes you feel full and satiated. (4) Secondly, cinnamon contains a food compound called cinnamaldehyde that activates thermogenesis, warming up your internal burner. As discussed above, thermogenesis may help raise your body temperature to burn more calories. (5) But that's not all.
Theaflavins and Weight Loss:
Additionally, black teas like our Masala Chai Organic Black Tea are healthy for weight loss because of the polyphenols called theaflavins. Organic black tea may help prevent obesity by reducing fat and sugar absorption in the body, increasing breakdown of fats in the body, and finally reducing oxidative stress. (6) In a randomized controlled trial, patients who consumed 3 cups of black tea a day over a 3 month period lowered their body weight and fat distribution in the short term. (7)
Organic Oolong Tea
Did you know that switching a 355 ml can of full-sugar soda pop for a cup of Fraser Tea® can save you around 140 calories and 39 grams of carbohydrates? In contrast, a cup of Fraser Tea® has zero calories and zero net carbs, offering an easy way to break the soda habit, which is laden with empty calories and lacks nutritional benefits.
Organic oolong tea, however, is a different story. Packed with antioxidants, it not only supports your overall health but may also aid in weight loss. In a clinical trial, 70% of 102 obese patients who consumed 8 grams of oolong tea daily for 6 weeks lost more than 1 kg in body weight, with 22% shedding more than 3 kg. (8)
Curious about how it works? A study in the Journal of Nutrition suggests that oolong's polyphenols could potentially reduce obesity by inhibiting inflammation and decreasing pancreatic enzymes that break down sugars, fats, and starches. This reduction in enzyme activity makes it harder for the body to absorb fats effectively. (9)
Now comes the challenging part – choosing which organic oolong tea to try first. Jinxuan Organic Oolong boasts a buttery, creamy profile with a floral finish, while our Wuyi Da Hong Pao oolong delights with its deep, rich, and smoky flavor. For those new to oolong, Plum Berry Tea is a light, slightly sweet, floral, and fruity blend, making it one of our favorite iced teas. Explore our range of organic oolong teas for a flavorful and healthy alternative to soda.
Organic Pu-erh Tea
If you ask 10 people what pu-erh tasted like, you are likely to get 10 different answers. It’s a complex earthy flavor that excites the taste buds – possibly unlike anything you have ever tried before. When on a weight loss journey, sipping on calorie free Spicy Chocolate Chai and Polka Dot Bikini Pu-erh can delight your mouth and calm your mind. The pu-erh tea in these blends not only keeps you energized but might also assist in shedding those extra pounds.
In a randomized placebo-controlled trial, 59 overweight patients were given pu-erh tea extract for 20 weeks. The results were striking – those who consumed pu-erh tea experienced significant weight loss, reduced body mass index (BMI) and fat loss compared to the patients given the placebo. (10)
Embark on a taste journey down the Fraser Tea® organic Pu-erh tea collection and dare to try something new.
Organic Herbal Tea
Enjoy the vibrant pink hues of a cold brewed cup of Strawberry Hibiscus Organic Herbal Tea, revealing a delightful blend of sweet, tart, and lightly floral flavor notes. This caffeine-free herbal weight loss tea not only tantalizes the taste buds but also packs a healthy punch. The health benefits lie within the hibiscus tea, known for its robust protective effects against obesity by reducing fat absorption and minimizing weight gain. (11, 12)
Achieving weight loss is undoubtedly challenging. Consider a simple yet impactful change by substituting high-sugar sodas and beverages with an antioxidant-packed organic weight loss tea. It's a flavorful and health-conscious choice that can support your wellness journey.
