Drinking My Way Slim with Tea!

Today I decided to start a new sort of "diet" to help me loose those few extra pounds of baby weight. I've already lost 27 pounds since I had my baby almost 2 months ago, but I can't seem to loose those last few lingering pounds.  I recently read in a magazine article that you can get slim by drinking tea.  I know what you are thinking, "sure you can", but it was an article by Dr. Oz and he usually has some pretty good tips.  So I thought what the heck I will try it.

Here is what you do.  First you need 4 different types of teas: Pu-Erh Tea, White Tea, Dandelion Root Tea or Chickweed Tea, and Cinnamon or Billberry Tea.  Next you need a tea schedule: with breakfast have 16oz. of Pu-Erh Tea, with lunch 16oz. of White Tea, in the afternoon 8oz. of Dandelion Root or Chickweed Tea and finally with dinner 8oz. of Cinnamon or Billberry Tea.  You can also make 16oz of a Lemon Ginger Cooler with the Pu-Erh and White Tea for breakfast and lunch, so you have something different to drink.  I will give you the recipe for that later.  Supposedly when you drink these teas at these times they help curb your appetite, relieve bloating and melt fat!

This is my first day of trying the tea regimen and so far its not too bad.  It was rather difficult to find all of the teas though because they are not all sold locally.  I ended up buying a couple on Amazon.com. I hope that this helps out with those few pesky pounds hanging on.  I will let you know my progress as the weeks go on.  It would be really nice to add some good ab workouts with this as well, but I had a c-section and am still healing.  Hopefully soon!

Here is the Lemon Ginger Cooler Recipe:
Boil 8 Cups Water. Add 8 Pu-Erh Tea bags, 8 White Tea bags and several ginger slices.
Let steep 5 minutes then pour into a heat proof pitcher. Stir in 2 TBS of fresh lemon juice (I used bottled since I always have that on hand.)  Cool, chill and enjoy!
