What is the Oprah tea that everyone keeps talking about? Dr. Perricone said on an Oprah show that if you drink this instead of coffee, he “guarantees you’ll lose 10 pounds in 6 weeks”. So, why would a respected practitioner make such a claim about a tea?
The answer is simple. The name of the tea that Oprah drinks to lose weight is Wulong / Oolong. The meaning of both the names is exactly the same. This tea comes from the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian, China – one of the only places in the world with the exact temperature, humidity and topology for growing tea.
So, what makes wulong-oolong so effective at helping you lose weight? It is rich in catechins. These are polyphenolic plant compounds that have antioxidant properties. They belong to the family of flavonoids which have been extensively documented for their health benefits.
Researchers at Teikyo University School of Medicine found that the catechins in oolong tea help reduce belly fat without affecting the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Other scientific clues include its ability to prevent the body from converting dietary fat into body fat. Researchers at the Ehime School of Medicine reduced the body’s absorption of lipids, and increased the rate at which fat was burned, by giving subjects oolong tea.
So, how can you lose weight with Oprah tea? Drink a cup with each meal, or take it in capsule form if you’re not a fan of tea. Of course, you need to pair wulong-oolong drinking with a healthy diet and moderate exercise for best results. If you take high carb and high fat diet while drinking tea and do not exercise then your weight will remain same as before.
