My latest addition to iVillage's health section is a feature I recently wrote on slimming teas, mainly an investigation on whether they work and on what they are. To cut right to the chase, I didn't find that I slimmed down any while drinking them, and this was in considerable amounts for around two weeks for the sake of the feature. Mind you, I wasn't exactly taking a scientific approach!
Still, most of the teas I tried and tested had a myriad of health-promoting qualities to them and tasted nice (if you're into herbal teas and alternatives to caffeine, which I am). So while I wouldn't rely on them to get me into a pair of size 10 jeans still lurking in my wardrobe, I'm still merrily drinking away as I like the fact they're rich in anti-oxidants and other great natural minerals!
I've said it before and I'll boringly say it again, I do love the variety that my freelance work brings me!
