In this article I am talking about a very interesting book, written by Mark Utra , tea historian and tea expert, so much so that he is called “the tea doctor”. Ukra has written a book in which he describes how to lose weight with tea, without a restrictive or specific diet, but simply by acting on three factors.

The first: progressively change some bad eating habits and create others that involve tea. For example, drink specific teas when you feel like sweet or snacking between meals.

The second factor is learning how to balance the three main meals in an intelligent way, with some pairing tips for weight loss that we will see on page two.

The third factor is to use tea not only as a drink, but also as a recipe base. In this way, you are filled with substances such as epigallocatechin gallate, theanine and theobromine, promoting natural weight loss.

Let’s see how it is possible to lose weight with tea by acting on these three factors.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT WITH TEA: THE EXPERT’S PLAN.

Change bad eating habits by replacing them with a cup of tea

Basically, whenever we want to eat something sweet or eat between meals, we can drink special teas to which we add only a teaspoon of honey or sweetener. Ukra identifies at certain times of the day the dangerous hours for those tempted to eat between meals.

Before lunch

We can drink a fruit tea and add a spoonful of chopped fruit or a tropical-flavored tea (mango, papaya, coconut). Here are some examples similar to the products that the author lists. But you can also find them in specialized shops.
For example: Mango and Pineapple Green Tea ,  Virgin Pina Colada Fruit Tea or Coconut, Banana and Caramel Tea . What to add: 50-70 grams of chopped fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, apple, pear, peach or a teaspoon of chocolate chips. Sweeten with stevia.
Total calories: 30.

In the afternoon

We drink a creamy and voluptuous tea with a biscuit, vanilla, candy or chocolate flavor, in order to avoid biscuits and snacks from crunching in the afternoon.
For example: “Delicias de Chocolate” Rooibos Infusion with Chocolate, Orange Peel, Orange Blossom , Slimming Tea With Almond And Vanilla Happy Detox Tea – 4 Weeks , Black Tea, Walnuts, Almonds, Caramel, Biscuit, Crunchy, Amaranth , aroma .
To be combined with 50 grams of banana or 7 almonds. Total calories: 59.
Or choose one of these chocolate teas .
Also try this anti-hunger herbal tea if you don’t want to spend the money. Or this slimming herbal tea from Dr. Vestita. 

After dinner

A dried fruit herbal tea, with an enveloping and spicy flavor.
Aromas cinnamon, honey, pistachio, almonds, hazelnuts, fruit, with a calming effect. For example: Sogni Doro Tisana Delizie & Dried Fruit Pistachio and Almond with Lemon Zest , or Oriental Night Herbal Tea with Jackfruit Apple Pineapple and Vanilla  or Peach and Lemon Blend .
Calories: 0.

Bear in mind that this is the most important part of losing weight with tea. Otherwise it is worth the joke that tea makes you lose weight only if you go to harvest it in China.
Ukra underlines this point a lot because it is the effective one. He explains that he had been addicted to food and caffeine for years, and that he lost weight by acting on this first factor.

Now let’s see how to act on the other two factors.
