Today, there are plenty of diet supplements, diet restrictions, fluid detox that claims to make you lose weight fast. While these may seem to be going out of style, a new “natural” way was introduced to some of our health conscious folks. Tiny tea and Skinnyme tea are some of the brands of teas that is said to promote fast weight lose while cleans and nourishes your body. Many people have posted their before and after photos to promote the effects of these tea blends.

Teas, natural, and fast weight-lose? Who wouldn’t fall for that. Unfortunately, these teas contain senna, a natural laxative. It not only puts the drinkers at a risk of dehydration and nutrient deficiency, but a prolonged use will make your body depend on it because your bowel adjusts to thinking it is always going to get that stimulation. In other words, these “natural” remedies are just laxatives packaged with the word natural for a temporary relief. As for the photos, we all have heard of Photoshop right?

Sorry to say, there is no easy way out if you want to achieve a healthy weight. Work hard, play hard.

The best way to burn fat is to gain muscle. Regular cardio with added strength training is one of the best ways for me to maintain a healthy weight.
