<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Yogi Fasting Tea Contains Beneficial Herbs
Yogi fasting tea contains fennel seed, ginger, licorice root, cinnamon, clover, and others. Many of these nutrients are believed to assist with weight loss. According to the book "Addition-free Naturally" by Brigitte Mars, cinnamon wards off sugar cravings, ginger aids digestion, and fennel seed suppresses the appetite.
On the Other: Tea Must be a Substitute for Food
Yogi fasting tea will only help you lose weight if you drink it instead of eating. If, for example, you drink the tea and eat an extra cookie, you will gain weight. If, however, you drink the tea and it causes you to eat one fewer cookie than normal, you will lose weight. Ideally, the tea will cause you to crave the cookie less.
Bottom Line
Tea alone cannot cause weight loss. As explained by the Mayo Clinic, weight loss involves changing your lifestyle towards healthier food and exercise. You must eat fewer calories or burn more calories than you consume to effectively lose weight.
