I thought readers of Chocolate and Beyond may like to read a feature that I recently wrote for iVillage.co.uk on slimming teas. It is always interesting to put together an article like this now that I'm a non-dieter, especially as previously, I'd have been really hoping that I'd have struck gold with a miracle weight loss solution while sipping all those teas! Of course, now I'm much more sensible and I knew straight away I wasn't going to fall for the sell.
I tried out these teas for two weeks and guess what? I didn't notice a single ounce lost! However, I still have to add that if drank simply for their health benefits, they were great. I did feel quite 'clean' and wholesome while choosing to drink them over regular tea and coffee, and I felt like I had more energy (presumably because I was being less reliant on caffeine).
I'm Andrea, and am obsessed with creating fabulous food. After I managed to ditch dieting, the reason Chocolate and Beyond was born, it seemed natural to evolve my site into a foodie blog. More so since I also ditched animal produce to be vegan. Now, I love showing how inventive cruelty-free cooking can be. And sometimes I like to rant, too. I wouldn't be myself otherwise :) x
