As a cardiac nurse, I am always looking for healthy and safe weight loss ideas and am not a real fan of crash diet programs. They are not good for your heart and many of them are not sustainable.
It has been known for years now that detox tea plays a role in weight loss. But, the question is, what is the best detox tea for weight loss?
The philosophy behind Fit Watches For Women has always been to provide women with good information to improve their overall health and fitness through the monitoring of daily activities and to motivate them as well to stay fit and healthy.
Of course, if you are over weight or just need to lose a few pounds, detoxifying your body is always a good idea, especially if a natural and healthy approach is practiced.
Detox Tea and Weight Loss
A common misconception amongst dieters is not taking into account what they drink. Many of them focus on what they eat and not necessarily what they drink. The truth is the liquids that you consume can have just as big of an impact gaining weight and negatively affecting your overall health as the foods you consume.
Of course, for people who are serious about losing weight, it is no surprise that soda and alcohol are not that great for your weight loss efforts, but what about black tea and green tea?
Are they a good detox tea and are they good for weight loss – or do they actually cause weight gain?
The answer may be surprising. As many people think that, particularly green tea, can help you lose those unwanted pounds. But, this may not actually be the case.
Studies Indicate that Green Tea Has No Affect On Weight Loss.
One such study is published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2009. It found that extract of green tea did not affect the metabolic resting rate of normal weight men. 12 of them to be exact.
Also, another review, known as the Cochrane Review of green tea research revealed that green tea led to only a small, insignificant weight loss in obese or overweight adults. This same review also indicated that regular consumption of green tea did not help to keep weight off in people.
In addition to all of this, the problem could also be compounded if you are putting sugar into your green tea as well. This can certainly be a source of extra calories that many people do not account for.
Many experts agree that people who are frequent green tea drinkers may also consume as much as 300 calories or more a day from just sugar.
What About Black Tea?
OK, so is black tea a good detox tea for weight loss?
Most people do not realize that black tea is actually just green tea that is burnt, and is loaded with caffeine, just like regular green tea. Drinking too much caffeine can cause heart palpitations, vomiting, nausea and, as many of us know, gives us the “jitters”.
Even decaffeinated black or green tea destroys most of the natural ingredients that are supposed to give us benefits. It makes more sense to drink a type of tea that contains no caffeine in a natural way. Yes, like the type of tea that I am about to reveal to you.
There is another problem with black tea and that is that it is often consumed with milk, which slows down the absorption of antioxidants and polyphenois. Even skim milk slows this same process down at a larger extent than whole milk (Slim milk is not natural, by the way).
So, this all being said, if green and black tea are not ideal, then…, .
What Is The Best Detox Tea For Weight Loss?
This is an interesting question and even more interesting is where the answer was actually found. Ready for this?
In the jungles of Africa. This is where tribesmen from Kenya drink red tea to rid themselves of hunger pangs while they hunt for their next dinner.
We have discovered from them that Red tea not only does a great job getting rid of hunger pangs but promotes the burning of fat and boosts energy naturally without caffeine! Yes, red tea is totally caffeine free. This is the perfect health drink that tastes good, clears toxins from the body and reduced fat-storing hormones. Plus, it promotes the production of these fat-burning hormones as well.
In addition to all of this, it balances insulin and reduces stress.
There are 5 unique ingredients that go into red tea and it is these ingredients, which, by the way, can be found in your local grocery store, that work together make red tea the ultimate metabolism-boosting, energy-revitalizing, fat burning drink. Plus, these ingredients are not found in black or green teas.
As mentioned before, red tea is caffeine free. It is also vegan and vegetarian safe, is dairy free, gluten free and sugar free.
This makes it a great alternative to caffeine since it give you no jitters. This way burning fat is safe and very fast. It also contains no fats or carbs. Plus, the taste is mild and naturally sweet.
Another plus about red tea is that it contains no oxalic acid, which means there is no risk of getting kidney stones, unlike green and black teas. It is also very low in tannin levels, therefore, is better for you them black and green teas. Red tea is also packed full of antioxidants that fight oxidative damage caused by body toxins. This has an overall affect of boosting your immune system.
Is Red Tea The Breakthrough We Are Looking For?
It is a fact that green tea does contain antioxidants and that these components contribute to maximizing one’s health and minimizing health risks such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
However, green tea, although beneficial, is now losing value when compared to another rival known as rooibos.
Rooibos is also known as red tea and is also very high in antioxidants, although it is sourced from different substances to that of both green and black teas. Rooibos contains the antioxidants known as aspalathin and nothofagin, and are comparatively rare, and do very well to help regulate blood sugar, reduce excessive fat production, stress and even inhibit metabolic disorders.
Because of these things, I consider red tea an essential natural ingredient that aids in the prevention of heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and much more. It is an extremely beneficial answer to weight gain and obesity.
I believe that red tea is the breakthrough that people who have been struggling to lose belly fat have been patiently waiting for. It’s a delicious tea that keeps the doctor away. There are no expensive pills to take and no more starving yourself and having to do intensive workouts, although you should still maintain a good cardio activity level.
But the best thing is that it totally helps eliminate harmful belly fat by working with your own body’s natural metabolism and doing all of this without you feeling any cravings or hunger pangs!
Imagine being completely guilt-free enjoying the foods you love, even a desert.
Imagine a life without the expense of prescriptions and doctors visits to get new pills.
And imagine not having to count every single calorie you eat. All of this while being confident that your health is being protected by on of the most powerful natural healing powers red tea has to offer.

Hello Julie! Thanks for your article on Best detox Tea for weight loss. Wow! This is new to me, I also have this erroneous belief that green tea work wonders for weight loss. I mean with all the adverts and reviews I see online, one will erroneously believe so too, although I have never tried green tea myself because I am not fat.Who could have believed that regular consumption of green tea doesn’t help over-weight adults to lose weight. Your article is really informative. I now know that black tea is simply burnt green tea that is loaded with caffeine which of course has health implications on its consumers. Thanks for your review and for schooling me on the best tea for weight loss, which is Red tea.
You are welcome Gracen and thank you for visiting my website. Yes, even-though you do not need to lose weight, the red tea is delicious and has other great health benefits as well as pointed out in the article.
Thank you Julie for this helpful info you’ve shared here.
Although i’m a young man, i feel it’s fair that i learn something important that i could share with family and friends, and it’s been a worthy read.
I’ve learnt that dieters should take note of what they drink
I was amazed when i read that drinking black tea with milk has a way of slowing down the absorption of antioxidants
Red tea is new to me. And i’m quite glad that i came across this today. Many thanks Julie
You are very welcome Festus. Yes, men can certainly benefit from these tips as well. We all need to be healthy and fit.
Thanks for sharing such an awesome article, I never knew that the liquid substances we take in also contributes to gaining unnecessary weight, I take a lot of both green and black tea for weight loss most times it does work a little but now that you mentioned what too much caffeine causes, maybe switching to this Red Tea wouldn’t be a bad idea after all.
Hi Seun, thank you for visiting my website. Yes, too much caffeine can cause problems. I know my husband used to have problems as well. He now used the Red Tea and simply loves it. He gets the energy he needs without the bad effects of the caffeine. Thanks again.
Hello Julie,Thank you for a super interesting post about losing weight with tea.My wife has been drinking green tea for some time and I showed her your article and she is going to try red tea for a while to see the difference.Although we knew green tea was full of antioxidants, we had no idea how much caffeine was in it.Added to that that is is dairy free makes it even better!It certainly sounds like the breakthrough we might be needing.Thank you for sharing!Tim
Thank you Tim for the feedback. I am glad that you found this helpful. I really think that she will like the red tea and will certainly see and feel the difference and I hope that this is the breakthrough that you were looking for. It would be really awesome if you come back to this article and leave me a comment about your results. i would love to hear the feedback. Again, feel free to ask and comment here anytime.
Thank you so much for this interesting article about Best Detox Tea For Weight Loss. I was surprised, and I thought green tea is good for weight loss. There are lots of brands which promotes green tea for weight loss. I am taking red tea twice a day but with milk powder and sugar. Is it a good habit to follow? What is the best time to make red tea? I appreciate your answer. Thank you.
Hi Yasodhara, thanks for your feedback. In answering your question regarding the best time to make red tea I have to say, the best time to make red tea is anytime during the day. You are correct that green tea is promoted as a weight loss supplement, but as you can see from the evidence stated in my article, it is not as effective as red tea. Green tea does have its place depending on the brand you choose. For example, I like to drink Sleepy Time Green tea before bed. It does relax me and along with other supplements, helps me sleep better.
To answer your other question, I do not think adding sugar is as good as not having the sugar. The red detox tea that we promote in this article does have a mild sweet flavor to it as is and does not require additional sugar. Perhaps you should give it a try. You may be surprised by the mild sweet flavor it has on its own. Thanks again for your feedback and have an awesome weekend!

Hey Julie
Thanks for this article on “Best Detox Tea. I was about to go out and do some grocery shopping and on my list was my favorite Green tea. I have not taken it consistently but when I do take it, I feel great!
Having said that, since I’m not necessarily attached to green tea, I want to give Red tea a try. Much appreciated,
I will get back and report on how Red tea is treating me.
Hi Jane, thanks for the comment. Yes, please do report back to us on how Red tea is treating you. We would love to hear the feedback and how it has treated you as well. Thanks again!
Hi Julie – Red tea; who’da thunk it? I am a man and I love my tea. I have just gotten over a prolonged bout with kidney stones so I am taking this article to heart (and kidney). My wife and I are always trying to “do the right thing” as far as our diet goes and I think you’ll make a big impact on us and our friends.
Nurses Rule! In our circle, we know how important nurses are and how often they are overlooked. Thank you for all you do and especially the great red tea info.
Best Regards – Mike
Thank you for the kind words Mike. I love being a nurse because I do truly love to help others. I also like to try and “do the right thing” especially when it comes to health and fitness. Thanks again!
Hi Julie!
Thank you for your thorough and detailed research about the best kind of tea for weight loss.
If I’m being honest, I LOVE tea. Black, green, red, white… They’re all amazing, and I rotate them on a daily basis. I had no idea that red tea had such amazing benefits for weight loss. I drink it because it’s healthy and tastes good, but hey if it can help get rid of a couple of pounds, who am I to complain… 😉
I will definitely do a little more research on the subject, you have piqued my interest!
From a fellow tea lover,
Vicky
Thanks Vicky, I love hearing from follow tea lovers. I am glad to have piqued your interest. let me know what you find out.
This is great news for me! It means that I can stop feeling guilty about not drinking green tea. I have read that it is good for many things but I don’t like the way it tastes, so I don’t drink it. I like what you said about the red tea, that it will help to eliminate harmful belly fat by working with our own body’s natural metabolism. That’s cool. I have never tried red tea but based on your description, I think I will like it.
Thank you for this information.
Thank you Theresa for your comments. Yes, I definitely think you will like it. Let me know how it works out for you.
I’m a lifelong drinker of black tea, and have been drinking green tea for about ten years, but this is the first time that I’ve heard of red tea. Although I like green tea, and it has a lot of other benefits, I have to admit that there are probably better things to help with weight loss than green tea. Red tea certainly looks like it’s worth trying.
Hi, thanks for visiting my website. Yes, Red Tea is certainly worth trying. Check it out
Great post Julie! I read everywhere that green tea is great for weight loss, but Ive actually never heard about red tea before. I am definitely going to check it out! Can you advise if it is suitable for breastfeeding women?
Thanks for the feedback Eva, yes, since the red detox tea has no caffeine and is from only natural ingredients, I believe it would be suitable for breastfeeding women.
Hi Eva, yes I do believe this product would be good for breast feeding. There are all natural ingredients in this one and no caffein
