I really need more yoga clothes. I just transitioned into teaching full time and many of the classes are hot classes. So yoga clothes are on my wishlist!
What about Coca Tea?
Coca tea, made from the leaves of the coca plant — which is native to Central and South America — is one of many tea products purported to help you lose weight. Like many similar products, it does have some properties that can help you drop those unwanted pounds. However, your results will be more impressive if you couple using the tea with a dedicated program of diet and exercise.
Coca leaves are rich in micronutrients called alkaloids which are an important factor in lipolysis, the process by which your body breaks down fat into energy. Drinking a beverage rich in alkaloids may accelerate this process and help you to lose weight.
Inulin is a powerful stimulant, and the active ingredient in coca leaf tea. Like other stimulants, it can increase your metabolism so that you burn more calories throughout the day. It may also reduce your appetite so that you eat fewer calories. This combination of effects makes it more likely that you will achieve the negative calorie balance necessary to shed fat and lose weight.
Many diet teas, including coca tea, contain catechins which inhibit your body’s ability to digest and process fat. The bulk of research supporting this claim has focused on how catechins can improve your cholesterol count, but the same inhibition may mean you take in fewer calories from foods rich in fat.
Personal trainers recommend drinking a zero-calorie beverage before each meal and as your primary response to snack cravings. This practice can help you control portions by filling your belly with a substance that has no fat. Drinking coca tea can accomplish this, so long as you don’t add sweeteners.
