Every year it's the same scenario. Just days before summer, we rush to lose those extra pounds and limit the yo-yo effect.
And since losing weight is no easy feat, our marmots reveal some of their slimming herbal teas. A close-up look at the plants that send fat flying and facilitate weight loss.
Forget about crash diets that harm your body and opt for more natural solutions, like plants! Green tea is the number one pick in this regard, and we'll explain why.
Green tea , which first appeared in Asia, was immediately considered a health-promoting food. Rich in antioxidants and tannins, it was traditionally used to aid weight loss in addition to other dietary measures.
Our master brewers set out to find exceptional green teas, 100% organic, and nestled in the mountainous regions of China, like our Yunnan Green Tea . A full-bodied tea, whose green notes linger in the mouth for a long time. Other, less powerful green teas are used in:
• Mince Alors : a tea that's good for you! Its rose petals promise a gentle fitness session*.
• Fleur'Thé Jasmin : come flower-tea with this floral recipe where the scents blend and intermingle.
- Lemon Tea
• Mint Green Tea : a classic that you can't resist in winter or summer.
Guarana is often referred to as one of the "fat-burning" plants .
But if this shrub from the Amazon is so talked about, it is mainly thanks to guaranine, a molecule similar to caffeine, which its fruits contain.
Hyperactive, it will tend to stimulate our body, which will result in increasing its energy expenditure. And more energy expended means more fat used to keep the machine running!
Another advantage of guarana is its diuretic properties . In addition to a healthy, varied and balanced diet and regular physical activity, it can help your body eliminate more .
To help you on your detox journey** and get back in shape, Les 2 Marmottes have created a 100% natural recipe that will give you wings: Boost et Moi . Our intense and tangy infusion will be your best-selling drink this summer.
When it appears like a flower at the end of a meal, no one blames chamomile . Everyone knows how good it feels when digestion feels like an obstacle course!
But that's not all! As an infusion, it is also renowned for its diuretic, draining, and detoxifying properties.
As a complement to a balanced diet, chamomile will help you feel better about yourself and lighter (with a less bloated stomach!).
At Les 2 Marmottes, we prepare it alone in a 100% Camomile recipe or in a trio, just to vary the pleasures! Combined with lemon and lemon balm , it pulls out all the stops to soothe your mind and take life on the bright side (even while dieting!).
Herbal teas have more than one trick up their sleeve to give a helping hand to those looking to lose weight or maintain their ideal weight .
Provided, of course, that you don't swallow anything and that you do sport, infusions will play a facilitating role.
When the urge to snack returns at the end of the morning, when your stomach rumbles at snack time, prepare one of our 100% plant infusions instead.
Since they are completely caloric (unlike soda, for example, or water flavored with syrup), they will fill your stomach and satisfy your hunger.
If the plants they contain also help to eliminate or burn fat, then bingo, you will kill two birds with one stone with your hot drink.
Let's not forget that water is a valuable ally for weight loss :
- It is a considerable appetite suppressant : by drinking regularly, no more small cravings!
- Water detoxifies your body and helps eliminate various toxins.
- Water hydrates and strengthens your metabolism: it is even recommended to consume up to 2L per day, especially during periods of high heat, and even at the office .
Add to that the ability to brew delicious, 100% plant-based recipes with no added flavors , and you're ready to rock the summer bikini body without any complexes.
And if the call of sugar is really too strong, you can always “sweeten” your infusion with a little honey, maple or agave syrup, stevia or coconut sugar…
Also know that by infusing your tea for a shorter time, it will necessarily be less bitter.
Finally, if sweet tooth is your incorrigible guilty pleasure, try one of our fruity recipes : Fruit Medley , Mint Liquorice or Apple Cinnamon could well satisfy your little gourmet cravings!
