Drink fat-burning tea to lose weight? Female Chinese medicine practitioner: Drink more and your appetite will improve

I heard that Chinese medicine's "fat-burning tea" is very effective. Drinking a cup after a meal can reduce fat and help lose weight? It turned out to be a misunderstanding! Chinese medicine practitioners say that the main function of fat-burning tea is to remove oil and greasiness, and it is not helpful at all in reducing body fat. Moreover, fat-burning tea can aid digestion. Be careful that your appetite will improve after drinking it, and you may gain weight instead of losing weight!

Many people like to drink fat-burning tea to lose weight, but they misunderstand the meaning of "fat-burning".

Don't go wrong with this fat-removing tea that helps digestion and reduces fat

Common fat-burning tea ingredients include hawthorn, black plum, rose, wheat, tangerine peel, etc., which actually have the function of removing greasiness and promoting digestion. Chinese medicine practitioner Tian Yimin said that some people eat too fast or too quickly, or consume too much high-fat food such as steak, fried chicken, pork belly, etc., which can easily cause stomach bloating and discomfort. At this time, drinking some fat-burning tea will make them feel more refreshed and relieve discomfort.

In other words, the "fat burning" effect of fat burning tea means reducing the greasiness of food, not eliminating body fat. Be careful not to get it wrong! In addition, Dr. Tian Yimin reminds that hawthorn and black plum, in particular, have the effect of stimulating appetite, and are actually suitable for people with poor appetite and thin body.

If someone who wants to lose weight consumes it, their appetite may increase and they may eat more, or their digestion may speed up and they may feel hungry again soon after the meal, which makes it easy for them to consume too many calories.

Exercise more to help lose weight, aerobic exercise is effective

Many people hope to lose weight simply by eating and drinking. Chinese medicine practitioner Tian Yimin said that weight loss is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires controlling calories and exercising moderately. In addition to reducing high-fat, high-sugar diets, it is recommended to exercise every day (or at least 3 to 4 days a week), and it must be aerobic exercise that promotes cardiopulmonary function, such as swimming, brisk walking, dancing, etc., to be helpful!

It is recommended that, if you can bear it, you should exercise for 30 minutes each time and your heart rate should reach 120 beats per hour, so that the weight loss effect will be more obvious. If it is yoga or Tai Chi, it is mainly to increase flexibility and balance and coordination, and is not suitable for weight loss.
