Book Description
Tea has been widely recognized for its amazing health benefits. It can help:
• Boost the immune system
• Lower blood sugar and cholesterol
• Prevent cavities and tooth decay
• Slow the aging process
• Decrease high blood pressure
• Prevent arthritis
• Sharpen mental focus and concentration
• Reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, cancer, and more
Now, it's time for tea to be recognized, not only for all of these wonderful health benefits, but also for its ability to help tea drinkers lose weight.
The Ultimate Tea Diet harnesses tea's incredible weight-loss potential in a straightforward plan for losing weight in a safe and healthy way. Simply find a tea you love, drink it all day, follow an easy food plan, and see the pounds fall off.
Tea's ability to encourage weight loss comes from the synergy of its three main ingredients: caffeine to stimulate, L-theanine to neutralize the harmful side effects of caffeine and act as an appetite suppressant, and EGCG, which causes you to burn fat faster and more efficiently. In other words, tea reduces your appetite and stimulates your metabolism.
Don't worry--you will not go hungry on the Ultimate Tea Diet. The food plan includes tasty tea-based meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as tempting choices for midday snacks and sweet treats. All are made deliciously with tea so not only is your food incredibly flavorful, but you're also getting the health and weight-loss benefits in every single bite you enjoy.
Drinking tea--and maintaining a conscientious focus on good health--can easily become a way of life. Slim down to a leaner, more energetic, and healthier you with the Ultimate Tea Diet.

Reader Reviews
On January 1, I cozied up with my copy of The Ultimate Tea Diet, steaming mug of coffee in hand, and by page eleven I was firing up the teakettle. "Now rise, and show your strength," says Dr. Tea, quoting from Jerome K. Jerome (Three Men in a Boat). "Be eloquent, and deep, and tender; see, with a clear eye, into Nature, and into life: spread your white wings of quivering thought, and soar, a god-like spirit, over the whirling world beneath you, up through long lanes of flaming stars to the gates of eternity." If that's not a worthy New Year's resolution, I don't know what is. With a collection of more than three-dozen teapots, some from Jerome's own Staffordshire, England, you'd think I'd know how to use them by now. But, like many of my other good intentions, they languish on bookshelves, windowsills, kitchen counters, even my toilet tank, hoping that someday I'll put them to good use. Flushing away the dust from one of my favorites -- a 1940s vintage "pink plume" from Hall China -- with some hot water from the teakettle, I then coated the inside of the vessel with a thin layer of organic white tea, a thoughtful gift from my son's new girlfriend. Mark Ukra's instructions are easy to follow, and soon I was sipping the delicate brew, my mind wandering to China's southern Fujian province in 650 A.D. White tea was produced there during the Tang Dynasty, but believe me, this beverage tastes nothing like Tang. The rituals and ceremonies of tea interest me more than its weight-loss properties, though I've benefited before from the combination of tea's secret ingredients -- caffeine, L-theanine, and epigallocatechine-3-gallate (EGCC). I didn't know these ingredients by name, but I guess I've always had a feeling that tea was good for you. Last year I lost 22 pounds eating a balanced diet, drinking tea instead of coffee, and exercising 5 days a week. I don't think you will find me on the Ultimate Tea Diet, but I'm quite sure you WILL find me in Dr. Tea's kitchen -- his tea-infused recipes are just too tempting, and the book belongs on every cook's bookshelf. Tonight I'm whisking together the ingredients for Rosemary Orange Tea Chicken; tomorrow morning my blender will be humming with a Fruit Tea Smoothie. January, here I come!
