How to Lose Weight Drinking Tea

Porangaba Tea comes from the leaves of a very small tree in the Brazilian rain forests. Porangaba Tea helps people lose weight by suppressing their appetites. By drinking a cup of this tea approximately 30 minutes before each meal, it is supposed to help you feel full, thereby reducing the amount of food that you will need to feel satisfied.

Also known as Cha de Bugre, Porangaba Tea can be found in Minas Gerais, Bahia, Acre and Goias, which are Brazilian states. This special tea has also been found in the Argentina and Paraguay tropical rain forests. A red fruit is produced which is similar to a coffee bean. It can then be roasted and brewed into tea.

One of the more appealing aspects of this special drink is that there are no added stimulants. Many people have reported that they don't have any edgy or hyper feelings, which many other weight loss formulas can cause. When a weight loss formula has a stimulant, it can also produce a rebound hunger effect. Since Porangaba Tea does not have this stimulant, this benefit has helped its growing popularity in the United States.

There are many people in Rio de Janiero who have been using Porangaba Tea for many years. They swear by the many benefits. The ingredients used in the tea do more than just suppress the appetite. Although many of the reported benefits have yet to be confirmed, new research has begun to confirm some of them.

These benefits include reducing cellulite, acting as a heart tonic, and possessing anti-viral properties. Much of the research that has been done to date has been completed on Guinea pigs and rabbits. Two such studies were done in 1990 and 1997.

The many benefits that have been reported by people are still being researched for validation. In the meantime, it is safe to say that the appetite suppressing benefit is the main reason that people buy and drink the tea. After drinking the tea, people report that they tend to get fuller on less food. This leads to eating more frequent but smaller meals throughout the day. Many weight loss experts will tell you that it is easier on the digestive system to eat smaller and more frequent meals than to eat larger and fewer meals.

There may not be as many Porangaba Tea drinkers in the U.S. as there are in Brazil, but as more and more people drink the tea and have good weight loss success, there will surely be an ever growing number of people who drink Porangaba Tea in the USA.
