BOOTEA 28 Day Teatox

BOOTEA 28 Day Teatox | £37.99 (currently on offer for £34.99)

Firstly, let me start off by apologizing for being MIA for the past few weeks. I have been busy with work, applying for uni and I'm not going to lie, I have had a hefty case of writers block. 

In the time I have been away, I have started on a quest to be more healthy and maybe shift a few pounds before my little trip to Rome next month. As well as watching my calories, I have joined a gym and have been doing some research into healthy ways to aid weight loss. I have seen different "Teatox" companies for a while now doing the rounds on Instagram and other social media platforms and decided to give it a whirl. I will just point out now that although a lot of the "results" do show weightloss as one of the benefits of doing a teatox, I suffer from a lot of tummy troubles which cause me severe pain and bloating and after doing plenty of research on herbal teatox's, I found that many people who suffer from the same problems as me, said their symptoms disappeared  just a few days into the teatox. That was me sold ..

As I said previously there are so many teatox's on the market that its quite overwhelming trying to pick the right one. I chose BOOTEA simply because unlike some of the other companies, the tea doesn't have to be drank 30 minutes before eating and is only 1 to 2 cups a day so fits more conveniently into my day to day life.  You have the option to do a 14 day teatox or a 28 day teatox, and not one to do things by half I opted for the 28 plan to get the best results for my holiday. 

The Science-y Stuff

In the 28 day kit you get 28 'Daytime Detox' teabags and 14 'Bedtime Cleanse' teabags. The daytime teabags are supposed to be drank every morning for the duration of the detox and work to kickstart and speed up the motabolism,  this helps your body convert food into energy to burn fat and calories whilst also supressing your appetite. As a result you should begin to notice that you have more energy and more motivation to exercise. The appetite suppressing ingredients will mean you find yourself feeling less hungry and make you less prone to snacking. 

The Bedtime cleanse teabags are to be drank before bed every other night starting on the first day of the detox and do exactly what it says on the tin, cleansing out the body and digestive system helping to prevent excess calories from being absorbed and stored as fat. These do have a laxative effect which occurs 6-8 hours after consumption, meaning you drink it before you go to sleep you wake up and do your business in the morning, delicious. 

This detox is never going to work if you go out and eat your body weight in cakes everyday, so BOOTEA also provide a free eating plan designed to achieve the best results from the detox. I am going to use a few meals from this but will mainly be sticking to my normal healthy eating routine. The plan is to update you every 2 weeks to let you know how my teatox is going and whether it really works. At the minute I am reluctant to put any before/progress pictures up but who knows, if I look like Daphne Joy when this is all over I may put some up. 

See you on the other side
