Skinny Teas and Weight Loss

Posted: 2018-05-29
With weight loss teas becoming fairly common due to claims about dramatic weight loss in online advertisements, Clare Collins, a professor in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Newcastle in Australia, conducted a literature search to investigate if skinny teas do in fact boost weight loss. She did not find any related studies specific to "slimming  teas". In her analysis of 11 research studies related to green tea, black tea and tea mixtures she concluded that "skinny teas might not have any properties to help you lose weight, but they might remind you you’re on a diet". See more information about her findings at: The Conversation.
