' Now, I’m not one to take herbal supplements. So many wild claims are made about them, and I really don’t know whether or not to believe it. That said, I picked up a package of The Republic of Tea’s Get Lost Herb Tea For Weight Control at World Market. The name caught my attention, so I checked out the label. It’s supposed to help satisfy your appetite and control your sweet tooth to help control cravings.
I doubted it could do that, but it was the ingredients – and the potential taste of it – that made me buy it. It’s got tropical banaba leaf, cinnamon, carob, gymnema leaves, organic roobios, and orange peel. I thought what the heck. Even if it doesn’t control my appetite and cravings, it should at least taste good, right?
The tin says you’re supposed to drink three cups a day either before or after a meal. I had my first cup of it this morning. All I can say is that it appears to work. The horrible cravings I’ve been having for chocolate are gone. And I am right – it does taste good too, even without sugar or sweetener.
