With all the big hoo-hah with skinny, toned and 'bikini ready' bodies lately, it is understandable people are finding new ways to try and loose weight. One of those ways I personally found was Bootea. For those of you who don't know or haven't heard of Bootea, it is a 'tea tox' that you can drink for either 14 days or 28 days. You drink the morning tea evey morning and the nighttime tea every other night (it is a laxative tea so you wont want to be taking them any more frequently than that!). Oh and if tea isn't your thing, you can get Bootea in a milkshake form.
Now I like to consider myself an optimist (or maybe just gullible) when I bought this 14 day tea tox from my local Holland and Barrett for £25. (it works out to be £5 cheaper on the official Bootea website).

Now let me start off by saying, only get this tea if you are fully commiting to a new you because to get maximum effect, you are recommended to exercise and eat healthy along with the tea tox, baring in mind, if you aren't the best with diet plans, the site provides one for you!
So I went along with this tea tox for around about 5-6 until I had to stop myself from carrying on. Now, boys if youre reading this im sorry I cant do a comparison for you but girls... imagine your worst period pain and times it by 10. I felt that daily! I was waking up numerous times in the middle of the night, when I even had dreams I had the pains in the dream! Note- even a couple days after stopping the drinking of the tea, the pains continued. I strongly advise you not to take this tea at a time close to if you have a holiday to go on, or a festival or anything like that to go to clearly due to the laxative effects. You wont have time to actually enjoy what you're doing!I did some research and asked around and apparently the pains have been a problem for many people. This one girl I heard about went to the doctors due to the pain and they told her to stop taking the tea immediately- which is was is advised anyway.
Now regarding fat/weight loss I didn't really notice a huge difference in fat, I took progress pictures and there was no real difference at all when looking back on them. Concerning weight.. there wasn't a difference at all. I can't say I wasn't surprised but I didn't really care, I just wanted the pain to stop!
Final verdict on this tea is that, if you were to take it, do it in proportion, use a morning and night times worth, leave it a couple days then repeat the cycle. If you were on the fence, then I really would recommend this tea. Looks like good ol exercise and eating healthy is back on the table then ey?
