5 Best Teas for Weight Loss and Fat Burning

Each of these 5 Best Teas for Weight Loss has its own individual, magic properties, from dimming your hunger hormones to upping your calorie burn to—literally—melting the fat that’s stored in your fat cells. Oh, and they can also help reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes, too. (Stick to 3-4 cups—or tea bags—of tea per day, and choose brewed varieties over bottled to avoid extra calories and sweeteners.)

Here’s the full list, compliments of my revolutionary new book,


The 7-Day Flat-Belly Tea Cleanse

, which shows you how to eat and drink—and still shrink!

1. Green Tea, “The Metabolism Booster”


DRINK THIS:

Lipton, Yogi


BECAUSE IT:

Unlocks your fat cells

Before a workout, turbocharge the fat-blasting effects by sipping a cup of green tea. In a

recent 12-week study

, participants who combined a daily habit of 4-5 cups of green tea each day with a 25-minute sweat session lost an average of two more pounds than the non tea-drinking exercisers. Thank the compounds in green tea called catechins,

flat belly

crusaders that blast adipose tissue by triggering the release of fat from fat cells (particularly in the belly), and then speeding up the liver’s capacity for turning that fat into energy.

2. Oolong Tea, “The Pound-a-Week Melter”


DRINK THIS:

Bigelow, Stash


BECAUSE IT:

Boosts metabolism

Oolong, a Chinese name for “black dragon,” is a light, floral tea that, like green tea, is also packed with catechins, which help to promote weight loss by boosting your body’s ability to metabolize lipids (fat). A study in the

Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine


found that participants who regularly sipped oolong tea lost six pounds over the course of the six-week time period. That’s a pound a week!

3. Lemon Tea, “The Bloat Banisher”


DRINK THIS:

Tea Pigs


BECAUSE IT:

Wards off the munchies

Whether salty soup or beer is to blame for your bulging belly, lemon tea can help fight the bloat thanks to its D-limonene content. The antioxidant compound, which is found in citrus rind oil, has been used for its diuretic effects since ancient times. But until recently, there were no scientific findings to back the claims. An animal study published in the


European Journal of Pharmacology

confirmed D-Limonene has a therapeutic effect on metabolic disorders in mice with high-fat-diet-induced obesity

4. White Tea, “The Fat Blocker”


DRINK THIS:

Twinings, The Republic of Tea, Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime


BECAUSE IT:

Prevents new fat cells from forming

White tea is dried naturally, often in sunlight, making it the least processed and richest source of antioxidants among teas (as much as three times as many polyphenols as green tea!). A study published in the journal

Nutrition and Metabolism


showed that white tea can simultaneously boost lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) and block adipogenesis (the formation of fat cells) due to high levels of ingredients thought to be active on human fat cells. And keep your waistline toned and tight—in record time—with these essential

5. Rooibos Tea, “The Hunger Halter”


DRINK THIS:

Celestial Seasonings, Harney & Sons


BECAUSE IT:

Regulates fat-storage hormones

Rooibos tea is made from the leaves of the “red bush” plant, grown exclusively in the small Cederberg region of South Africa, near Cape Town. What makes rooibos tea particularly good for your belly is a unique and powerful flavonoid called Aspalathin.

Research shows

this compound can reduce stress hormones that trigger hunger and fat storage and are linked to hypertension, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Yup, sometimes the kettle can be as effective as the kettlebell.
