Time to become Bootea-ful

Hey guys,

I've been looking at doing a detox for a while now, to help kick start and motivate me to lose a bit of weight. I'm not into juice diets, I mean the thought of not being able to physically eat food makes me breakout in goosebumps alone. I'd heard a lot about teatox's, I love tea and I could still eat, onto a winner.

I decided to go with bootea as I'd seen it pop up on instagram and twitter, also they are UK based and use 100% natural ingredients.

I was going to order online, however I saw that Holland & Barrats stock the product. Being the eager beaver that I am, I dropped everything and went out to purchase. There are 2 options, a 14 or 28 day teatox. 14 days will set you back £19.99 and 28 days is £37.99. However H&B had a fab offer on, 28 day teatox for £27.99. Being all for the cost effective, I plunged in at the deep end with 28 days.

This includes a 28 day supply of daytime tea and  14 day supply of night time tea, to be taken every other day. Here are the ingrediants of both teas:

Ingredients:

Daytime Detox:

Chinese Oolong tea, Maté leaves, Ginger root, Fennel seeds, Lemongrass, Dandelion leaf, Ginseng root, Gotu Kola leaves, Nettle leaves.

NOTE: The Daytime Detox does NOT produce a laxative effect (only the Bedtime Cleansewill operate in this manner). The Daytime Tea contains a small amount of caffeine.

Bedtime Cleanse:

Senna leaves, Peppermint leaves, Fenugreek seeds, Liquorice root, Burdock root, Hawthorn leaves, Valerian root, Psyllium seeds.

As you may have seen above, a laxative effect is present in the night time tea, this is to cleanse your system of any toxins and generally bad stuff.

I decided to take my first night tea on the day of purchase, around 11pm. 10 minutes after waking up, I could feel it coming. Needless to say ... it works, Nothing dreadful or uncontrollable!

Bootea also have a eating plan which you can follow, this can be found here. I will be taking ideas from this plan and adapting them to my preference. I will also be trying to cut out/only eat complex carbs. A dreadful challenge in itself! I am not an active person, however I will be trying to walk more and do a bit  of Zumba on the Wii.

I will not be weighing myself, I will be going on how my body looks, feels and how my clothes fit. 

I'll be back in 7 days with an update :)
