Wulong tea is the same as Oolong tea and is what's served in many Chinese restaurants.  \n\nThere's no magical weight loss properties.  Even if there were, you'd have to drink gallons every day to get the effect.  Brewed tea is relatively weak.

I used to take it A LOT (2-4 times per day for about 4 years - 5-10 years ago)... and besides lingering blood pressure problems... (now perpetually high) my biggest problems turned out to be with my stomach and my metabolism... \n\nBasically, through the years of not eating properly my body had been in starvation mode and it really did a number on my metabolism, now I cannot lose weight no matter what I do. Also, I now have all kinds of stomach problems.\n\nAnother long term effect can be on your bones and other tissues because of the fact that many people do not eat right and because of the aforementioned starvation mode that many people enter into, you can suffer from all sorts of nutrient deficiencies that can cause long term damage...\n\nHonestly, no matter what, it is best to STOP using it... you may have some problems getting of of it especially having energy etc.. but this can be remedied with Vitamin B and Ginseng (only for SHORT TERM USE) coupled with a good multivitamin...\n\nThe vitamin B and a multi (make sure you get Calcium and Magnesium also) would be a good idea even if you keep taking the pills, but REALLY, in a few years you will be feeling it and it is NOT pleasant! I promise, you will be better off in the long run if you stop taking it NOW...\n\nGood luck, my friend.

"Green tea appears to boost metabolism slightly, but nobody has documented that drinking it helps people lose weight," says Adriane Fugh-Berman, M.D., an associate professor of physiology and biophysics at Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. Only one published study, a Swiss trial conducted on 10 men, has tested the effect of green tea on metabolism. Extrapolating the results of this research, Fugh-Berman says that if you drink four or five cups of green tea a day, "you might burn an extra 60 calories--but that's not a lot." It's about the same number of calories you'd burn in six minutes of jogging.\n\nPart of the metabolism boost can be attributed to the caffeine in green tea, but results from the Swiss study suggest that some other substance is also at work, since green tea seems to increase metabolism slightly more than the equivalent amount of caffeine.\n\nAlthough green tea itself isn't likely to stimulate weight loss, Fugh-Berman says, if you substitute the tea for lattes or juice, the calorie savings might help you slim down.

I use the Arbonne Detox Tea and have had no problems whatsoever. In fact, I love a hot cup of tea every night and this is what I drink. I have yet to hear from anyone who's had problems with it.

the only side effect from the tea could be from consumption of too much caffeine, but nothing much. Green tea helps speed up the metabolism more, but you simply cannot lose weight from drinking tea. You need to eat less and excercise more.

It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times. \n\nYou can read a good article about how it works at:\n\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-diet-capsules.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-gordonii-diet-use.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info\nhttp://hoodia-research.blogspot.com

it works, I tried it about 3 years ago. But if you make it, then ONLY with the permission and the control of a doctor. Not everybody is supposed to fast that way and it is NOT made for losing weight. Get a book about it and ask your physician.

As much as you like. Its contains great anti-oxident properties. I drink at least 2 cups a day, cold or hot. And I love it. I heard that its great for weight loss but I am not sure how or why. It seems like it wouldn't hurt though. You can probably find out more benefits of green tea from your nearest herb store,or surf the net for more info.

Was not successful, for me.\n\n"Mindfulness Meditation worked (still works) for me !!!\nAuthor  Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD."!!!\n\nAnd I ate a good size healthy breakfast daily (still do),  a  moderate lunch and dinner.  Never eat after 5:30 PM.\nAnd always drink a Full 8 oz. glass of Water (not tap water) right before you eat lunch and dinner.  Keeps food consumption at a moderation.\nAnd lastly,  exercise every other day.\n20 to 30 min. of  Cardio.\n\nBe  Very  Patient  with  Yourself.  Be Kind to yourself  and  forgiving toward yourself also.\n\nExcellent Question.\n\nR.N. -  with  Masters  Degree.\n\nP.S. =  Diet pills are Not recommended.  They give most people the feeling that they are on Speed, or other recreational drugs.  And  I  know many people that are presently in  drug \nrehab. clinics because of there addiction to Diet Pills.

I am an MD by profession and happen to come across your question. I would caution you against any form of rapid weight reduction. In the past, many cases of pulmonary hypertension as well as a host of other complications were reported with the use of "fen fen". \n\nAlthough my research on rapid slim did not produce any major problems, I am still concerned. Here is some info about it.\n\nThe clinically prov en key ingredient in RapidSlim SX, Cissus quadrangularis, is a scientifically validated extract from a medicinal plant found in India. Cissus quadrangularis is used regularly as a critical part of traditional Ayurvedic medicine. \n......................................................................................................\n\nHere is another piece of info about the acive ingredient:\n\nCissus quadrangularis contains high amount of vitamin C, carotene A, anabolic steroidal substances and calcium.\n......................................................................................................\nIf you take any vitamin at a high dose, you can have many side effects including liver failure. Anobolic steroids can do a lot of harm too.\n\nI would let you decide. Personally I would ask you not to use it. Keep exercising on a regular basis, have your doctor check the thyroid functions and control the saturated fat in your diet. Slowly but steadily, you will see the results.\n\nJose
