Slimming Solutions Teatox & Results*

I've always been curious about the effects of a teatox and after not having much luck with the first one I tried, I decided to try another and follow it 100% by the book.

I was sent the 14 day Slimming Solutions Teatox. The 28 day is available for £34.99. This does seem like a long time to be on a Teatox and I worried I wouldn't be able to keep it up that long but it was surprisingly easy to fit into my routine.

Day 1 of the Teatox began with me taking measurements and weighing myself.

I was sent a morning blend and an evening blend which I believe is the case for most teatoxes.

The morning blend tasted similar to green tea. It was pleasant to drink, I think if you like green tea then you'll be able to happily drink this. I found that this tea suppressed my appetite slightly. I usually have my breakfast at 8am, then a snack by 11am. When following this teatox, I had my morning tea around 8:45am and found I didn't need my morning snack and could go through until lunch.

The evening blend did not taste as nice and I struggled with it the first few times but eventually got used to drinking it. I found that adding a little sweetener helped to improve the taste. This is the tea that could cause laxative effects. I'll be honest, I did not have this reaction. I found that after just one night time tea, I already noticed a difference in that I hadn't woke up bloated.

For best results it was recommended that you follow a healthy clean eating plan throughout the duration of the teatox. I generally follow a healthy eating plan so I continued to eat as normal throughout the 2 weeks. I also made sure I kept my fluid intake up to avoid getting dehydrated.

At the end of week one I had lost 2lbs without changing any part of my diet and adding the teas to my routine. I was over the moon. Week 2 I had a few 'naughty days' where I attended a BBQ and went out for cake. I still managed to lose 1lb that week!

I must just add a little warning - if you are on the contraceptive pill then taking a teatox can affect the accuracy of this. I always made sure I took my pill in the evening to allow it to sink in, the laxative effect can take 10 hours so by then your pill should be absorbed.

Overall, this teatox seemed to work a lot better than the last and I am happy with the results. I definitely noticed a change in the fact that I wasn't waking up bloated and the weight loss was an added benefit that I didn't expect. I would definitely recommend this teatox for a big event such as a holiday or a wedding because I certainly noticed the difference.

Bootea Teatox* - Review and Results

When I was offered the chance to be a Holland and Barrett Good Life Insider I couldn't wait to trial some of the products I was kindly sent. One of the items I was most excited about was the Bootea 14 day Teatox, available for £19.99.

I've heard so many good things about this and seen so many celebrities promoting it and I really wanted to try it for myself. I was a bit worried as I heard if you are on the contraceptive pill you need to be careful when you take it as the 'flushing effects' can make your pill less effective. It is best to take your pill in the evening to give it a good 8 hours to sink in. This was probably the only thing that scared me about doing this teatox - oh any maybe the laxative effects!

Anyway, the concept of this 2 week detox is you have one morning cleanse tea bag every day, then every other evening you take one of the bedtime cleanse tea bags. The morning tea bags weren't too bad and tasted a bit like a lemon green tea. As a lover of green tea, I found it easy to incorporate these into my morning routine as they taste quite similar and were a good substitute.

My cat also loved these. He kept trying to get the teabags, so something in them must be attracting him to them, I didn't see catnip on the ingredients list though!

The evening tea bags weren't as nice, they were minty but also tasted a bit like grass but after a couple of days I got used to them and could drink them easier.

After day 1, I took my evening tea and waited for the laxative effects to kick in the next day, but nothing happened. Later on in the day my stomach really swelled, I wonder if this was part of the flushing effects but nothing came out.

So did they work? By the end of week 1 I still had experienced no laxative effects and actually gained 1.5lbs despite still keeping up a healthy diet and drinking lots of water.

After the whole 2 weeks was up I had actually gained 3lbs! Although I gained weight, I must admit that I did feel a lot less bloated, and even after a big meal my stomach remained flatter than usual. I took the Teatox during that "time of the month" and I did notice a difference in the fact I was a lot less bloated than usual. This could also be why I gained weight due to extra water weight.

It is recommended you eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of water alongside this teatox and as I eat fairly healthily anyway I continued as normal, maybe that's why it didn't really work for me.

If you want to lose weight the best way is to eat healthy and exercise. There is no tea that can substitute that for you. I will also be trialing the Slendertox Tea to see if this has any effects on me so keep an eye out for that in the next couple of months.
