Does wu-yi tea make you lose weight?

Does wu-yi tea make you lose weight? I am thinking of ordering it.

Hey guys...those of you that have alreadly bought the Wu Yi Tea and thinking of canceling...delete your cureent bank debit card number before you do so, that way they cannot charge your account!

Hi sandy27,

Are you talking about Wu-Long tea?

I just did some research and basically in ONE Japanese study, Wu Long (or oolong tea, as many of us know it as) helped Japanese women lose weight after eating MORE than green tea.

It's important to think about the study in context: it was one study, done on one group of testers, and all that was really determined is that those who drank it after meals lost weight faster than those who drank green tea.

Also, I would suggest not buying into hype and spending loads on 'Wu Long' tea. It's the same as oolong tea, which is available basically anywhere.

Good luck.

This is basically the same stuff you can get at any regular store, and it's not one hundred percent guaranteed! It does have side effects, it costs more than the average, and the only place it's available is on-line, that's not true either.

It makes you lose weight, and it works good, at first, but I would do my homework if I were you...haven't you seen their ingredients and looked those up? They say they don't know about any side effects or anything like that, but they're lying, something went really bad with one patient, have you seen Oprah lately? She used this and look at her now, compare it to her before, then later...I wouldn't recommend this product to anybody, but Green Tea does work, and that's one hundred natural.

Does anybody know much about computers? Because everybody depends on it so much, you can basically tap into any computer, including theirs ( the companies) and other federal agencies, etc., but there are links everywhere, you just have to know what to input and you can find anything out about anything and anyone...Hopefully it's not you, but people these days, you just never know, I would NOT trust the Ooolong, Wu-Li, or Wu long teas, trust me, they do NO GOOD in the real long run to you.

i dont know about wu-yi, but ma huang works really well.

REGULAR GREEN TEA would do the work for you as well, I am the proof!!

10 years ago I was overweight by 30 pounds, my blood presure was not good eather and my whole life was a mess because of this, until one day I decided to start working out and lose that extra weight naturally, what really worked for me was the combination of exercise, good diet and cold GREEN TEA all day long, I used to drink it at all times, fresh made every day, you don't have to buy any expensive stuff or fancy tea products, just your normal green fresh tea without sugar would do the magic, as for the side efects it's true tea will eventually clean up your system as it works as the perfect diuretic, helping your liver get in better shape and therefore your skin will show major changes.

Thanks to this combination I lost 25 pounds in 2 months and gain almost double muscular mass, green tea works great, without it my results would have been not even close to what I got, but remember exercising and good diet is also important!

Sorry, I meant Kidneys instead of liver. Thanks.

Maybe I'm quite a few months behind - but in response to advise's post - does drinking the tea make you ramble like that?!!! If so, DEFINATELY DON'T DRINK IT. Besides that - green tea isn't necessarily 100% natural. You have find out the bleaching technique if any that they may use in the American manufactured tea as oppose to Chinese manufactured green tea. Bags aren't good because of the bleaching technique. Pure leaves is the way to go. They are more expensive. The one the bags are less potent becuase they are dried out.

Think of tea in the same content one may think of marijuana. That's how pure you would need green tea or any tea to work. So in essence...grow it yourself.

I just want to say I have read a lot of people talk about Wu-Yi tea. I am in the trial period now. I am overweight and working on a healthier new me. Yes, a lot of it is hype to get people to try the product. But lets face it, every company builds hype for their products to peak interest. Everyone needs to remember there is no such thing as a miracle pill or tea or shake or anything else. If you want results, you have to work hard for them. But I enjoy the taste of the tea. I am exercising and watching what I eat as you should whether you are dinking tea or taking pills or taking nothing. The reason I enjoy the tea is because 1) It helps me stay on track. Every cup reminds me that I need to keep an eye on my eating habits, and I still need to exercise for the day if I haven't. 2) I can drink tea rather than eat all day or worry about a schedule with pills.

As for the 20 lbs in a week, I have never heard of that. Personally I lost 5 1/2 lbs in 4 days, but not due to a magic tea, Due to persistance and hard work.

The bottom line is everyone is different. Different things work for different people. I think what we need to focus on is supporting each other for taking the first step. but most importantly for yourself- Drink lots of water, be mindful of what you eat and drink, and workout. Just by doing those three things you will feel better and not only slim down, but tone up as well.

Your goals, minus your doubts, equals your reality.

I have been drinking it for over a week now. I have had no negitive side effects. I feel great (read my comment above) and I enjoy my two cups of tea every day. I am now down 8 lbs in a week.

I just received my Oolong tea under the name of Wu-Yi. Now finished my first cup. No hives, headaches or hiccups, so far. No skin discoloration, blurred vision or scales. Mmm... hype? Sure. Does it really work? That's probably up to me. It came with a 6 step program which read like common sense to me. Realistic expectations, diet, excercise, think positive, good attitude, rest. Gee... what's all the fuss? I probably won't continue and will return my unused portion for a full refund. Why? Because I can get 100% Oolong tea elsewhere a lot cheaper! End of story.

thanks, for your response to my specific question, bar merch - wow, down 8 pounds in one week! that's fabulous. are you doing anything else along with drinking the tea? have you cut calories or increased your exercise regimen? once I receive my package, which should be any day now, I'll be sure to report on the results. if it works, I definitely think people should know.

I just started the whole tea drinking diet...my mom wanted me to try it out along with my great (lol) diet...its really not all the bad I have cut myself to 1000 calories a day and I work out for 10-30 minutes a day...I have a very busy schedule so I cant really fit in a trip to a gym or anything so hopefully the tea and my new diet will help me to loose the extra poundage I am trying to loose...ill update soon

martineau08,

If you plan to keep the weight you lose during this diet off, then plan on eating 1000 calories a day forever. Because once you metabolism adjusts to 1000 calories, you will stop losing weight. And since you probably aren't getting enough exercise, as in muscle training, you will lose muscle mass(less calorie burning) with the fat. When you start to eat again, you metabolism will be used to burning 1000 calories not 1800 or 2000 calories. It will instead be stored as fat. 7000 calories in a pound, so extra 1000 calories a day = 1 pound gain a week. in a short while, you'll be back where you were or worse, have less muscle mass to burn calories, and a higher body fat % with more fat. depending on what your size is, you shouldnt go below 1500-1800 calories. Its more about the quality of the calories you put in.

Tashmaxx,

Green tea by itself may give you noticeable results over a long period of time, but not in a few days. Basically don't eat stupid, exercise with muscle training, and drink water. Dont think anyone has complained about results from going to the gym or doing some sort of exercise(above your normal daily exertion) after a month. A fat arse ain't going to lose itself in a week or even a month! Takes time. So if anyone believe theres any quick fixes they are a fool.

In reply to funadvice- yes I have changed my eating habits and started drinking more water, and beginning to workout. All of these I have neglected in years, but getting back to them is wonderful!

In reply to Suedi52- and anyone else for that matter- this is VERY important: One thing will NOT work for everyone. everyone's body reacts differently to different things. Tea may not do anything for some people. Tea may do wonders for others. You are the only one in control of what you do to get yourself and keep yourself healthy. If you are serious about losing weight, getting in shape, it begins with knowing that a LIFESTYLE change will give you permanent results, whereas DIETS only give temporary change because you do what you can for that moment (cut out meat, or carbs or whatever diet you try) but once you get the results, you go back to your old ways and all the weight comes back.

I have had this put in a couple of different ways that really caught my ear. The first way is this starts with the mind and heart. You have to be in the right mindset that you are ready to change how you Live (not just what you ingest), and have the heart to survive the hard times, the plateaus, or any other challenges that face you. (Thanks Oprah and Bob)

The second thing is that instead of focusing on your weight or appearance, focus on getting healthy, or gaining strength, or flexibility, or being able to walk up a flight of stairs with out getting winded. It may help to think of your body as an engine. You engine (your body) takes you where you want to be. The better you take care of your engine, the better it will function. If you have a lot of weight to lose, you can set 10lb goals for yourself. Celebrate those 10lbs that come off, and start with your next 10lbs. Reach out to others that are going through this as well. We all know in this time and age, you are NEVER alone. Find a forum, find a trainer, have a friend or family member be your accountability partner. Just remember YOU CAN DO THIS.. wether you drink tea, or not.

I'm definitely not an expert on diets and such, but I have to say that {Bar Merch} makes a lot of sense. When I had my son I was about 60 lbs more or less over weight. All I did to lose weight was set a goal in my mind and remind myself every day of how I missed my healthy looking and feeling body. So I worked out for an hour or so every other day and changed my eating habits. More vegetables, more water, more activities=walking mainly. I had lost those 60 lbs in 6 months. One thing that also motivated me to lose it was when a family member of mine had told me it took her three years to lose her baby weight. I absolutely had refused to suffer that long= that was my main motivation.

Right now however, I am taking something called Napolina= Flax seed plus... It's basically something to help clean out your system of toxins, and promotes healthy weight loss. It helps you go to the bath room regularly. I've known a few women that are taking it and have seen good results. It also helps promote healthy levels of blood glucose and insulin levels, immune support, weight loss, heart health... So in short it supports good health over all. NO miracle. Just extra support. You can probably get it at a supermarket maybe near you. I know I did. It was only $10, but sometimes less. But with everything do your own research on it and see if it will agree with you. Good luck to you all.

Hi, I just ordered the tea and I am really looking forward to trying it. I have already started working out 30 minutes a day 4-5 days a week and I drink about a 100oz. aday. I just want something to help it alittle faster. In the past 4 1/2 years I have put on 45 pounds. I was 123 and am now 170 and am 5'3. Not good. I will post back and let you know what it does for me.

I love the tea I replace one of my meals with a cup of tea an eat 1 time a day an I feel lighter. The cup of tea fills me up an I don't be hungry at all.I've been taking it for a week so far.

I ve been on the tea for a bout 1 week an I love it. I replace 1 of my meals with it so I don't be hungry so I only eat 1 time a day. It's better if you order off ebay because it's cheaper an you don't have to worry abot the company getting your credit card information.

If that tea has something in it called Senna it can give you terrible diareah and cramps.

This program is a rip off, plain and simple. If you already have a proper diet and exercise regime, that should provide as much success in losing weight (if not better) as what is described in the Wu Yi Diet program. The Wu Yi program simply instructs dieters to watch what they eat -making sure that there total intake of fat is 30% or less of the total calorie intake, follow a regular exercise regime of at least 30 minutes per day, and drink their tea twice a day, which is no better than the regular oolong tea you would find at the healthfood store. With some exceptions to the Wu Yi program (such as the complete restriction of egg yolks and occasional indulgences which is completely dated - the consumption of both are not only acceptable in modern healthy eating plans but encouraged), this is a regime that people should be following anyway for maximum weight loss success, and consumming a few cups of tea a day will certainly help in boosting the immune system and metabolism (because of the caffeine) and you don't need to pay $30 for it (unless you're an avid tea drinker like me).

oolong tea is full of antioxidents and contains quite a bit of caffeine (not nearly as much as a cup of coffee), so you'll certainly get some immuntiy boosters from it, but weight loss? no. you need to eat a healthy diet and exercise at least 30 minutes a day everyday, that's how you'll lose weight and amazingly enough, the Wu Yi Diet tells you to do the EXACT SAME THING (with additional restrictions which NO ONE will be able to realistically follow forever), in addition to drinking the tea 2x a day, which adds ABSOLUTELY ZERO additional weight loss benefits. everyone please understand, the WU YI DIET IS A SCAM!!! YES, absolutely drink as much tea as you can stand - it is good for you, but don't expect to lose weight while not exercising and consuming a bad diet and don't expect the tea to provide a miracle.
