SkinnyMe Tea

I recently discovered SkinnyMe Tea which is a tea product that helps with weight-loss, cleansing the insides and all that detoxifying jazz. The thing I love about this product is the fact that you don't have to up the anti on the exercise or drastically change you're eating habits, although they suggest on their website to follow their eating plan (but they say you don't have to follow it exactly).

SkinnyMe Products -

Colon Cleanse Tea Bags (14 teabags, $30.45), 14 Day Teatox Pack (14 loose leaf, 7 colon cleanse tea bags, $33), 28 Day Teatox Pack (28 loose leaf, 14 colon cleanse tea bags, $55), ComplexionMe Tea 14 Day Teatox pack (28 loose leaf complexionme tea, $25 also comes with 7 day pack, $15), ComplexionMe Teatox Facial (green tea and collagen face mask, $15), HealthyMe Tea 14 day pack ($30, also comes with 28 day pack $50), Loose Leaf Tea (28 days worth, $29.55), SkinnyMe Acai Tea (25 tea bags, $25), and SkinnyMe Smoothie (Antiox) Mix ($49.95).

I've ordered the 14 day teatox which involves drinking a cup of loose leaf tea in the mornings each day and then every second day I have, at night, the colon cleansing tea. Colon cleansing? Don't be afraid by those words, it just means you'll 'drop the kids off at the pool' 10-12 hours after having the tea :) During this time I plan to stick to my normal eating habits, probably kicking junk foods to the curb and attending the gym a couple of sessions a week, maybe 3-4 times; for a 30 min swim with light weights beforehand, 30 min bike, and yoga, maybe one session with just weights (alternating between legs one day and arms another, with abs included in both). I hope to stick to that regime but if I don't I'll probably just end up doing swims and light weights with a bike session or a walk.


What I'll be having in the 14 day teatox:

Ingredients in the loose leaf -

Sencha Green Tea, Yerba Mate, Dandelion Leaf, Ginseng Leaf, Lemon Grass, Celery Leaf, Nettle Leaf, Goji Berries (Fresh & Powdered), Açai Powder.

Ingredients in the colon cleanse -

Senna Leaf & Root, Hawthorn Berry Extract, Barley, Lotus Leaf, Lime Leaf & Extract, Psyllium Husk Seed, Phaseolus Calcaratus Seed, Rhubarb Root, Poria Cocos Stem Bark.


The reason I am doing this is to get me back on track and to help with shape and toning. I need a kickstart and I thought this would be a great way to do that. I'm not overly large, I have more of an athletic build but over the past few months I've become slack and we all know what happens to our bodies when we get lazy. I also thought it'd be great to just cleanse my body of all the toxins.

I'm looking forward to receiving my pack some time next week!
