Tea is such a relief for our weight loss clients. I've had several clients see amazing results by reaching for a cup of tea rather than an unhealthy snack. You can easily find it any grocery store, and has been enjoyed by people for thousands of years.
Tea is an amazing way to have a flavorful treat that doesn't have any sugar or a lot of calories (Don't add any sugar or cream!). There are so many different flavors that can be easily found. It can be enjoyed both hot and cold to keep you comfortable no matter the weather. Now that it's fall I find that a hot cup of tea is so soothing and comforting as well as delicious.
There are hundreds of tea varieties which makes it easy to find something you'll love. I recommend finding a decaffeinated tea you love, especially if you'll want to drink some at night. If you're brand new to tea there are many familiar flavors you can try such as cinnamon, orange, apple cider, or mint.
Many teas also have scientifically supported benefits such as:
If you do want some caffeine, green tea has been used in many studies which show benefits to cholesterol, reducing the risk of blood clots, is anti-inflammatory, and can potentially prevent certain cancers. Black tea has also been studied and reported to have anti-inflammatory properties, and promote a healthy immune system.
If you'd like to try tea blends that combine several ingredients for a unique flavor or specific benefits, brands such as Yogi or Pukka offer many wonderful options.
You can also create a wonderful ritual while you make a cup of tea. Taking the time to boil water, getting your favorite mug, and steeping the tea is a great time to have a self check-in. You can identify how you're feeling, practice some positive self-talk, or even do a quick Alpha Sequence.
Having a cup of tea with a friend or family member is also a lovely way to share a bonding moment or daily check-in. It can be a source of nostalgia for a lot of people. You can also create your own new routine that will turn into nostalgia in the future.
If you are struggling with excessive snacking, drinking too many sugary drinks, or want to incorporate a new healthy habit, reach for a cup of tea!
I have personally helped hundreds of clients create lasting weight loss results with Reprogram Your Weight. There are three different programs available based on the level of support you're looking for.
Tier 1 is for those who want to work through things themself and includes a copy of my best selling book Reprogram Your Weight in both digital and audio formats, and a guided hypnosis recording.
Tier 2 is a monthly subscription filled with additional resources and support. You get everything from tier one and also access to 8 training videos, new weekly hypnosis recordings, and a live monthly virtual group meeting to share the benefits of having other people to share your journey with who understand what you're experiencing.
Tier 3 is a one-on-one program with me, Erika Flint. It is a 6-month program filled with all the proven techniques I've used with my clients over the years. This includes private hypnosis sessions, weekly check-ins, and everything from the previous two tiers.
