In reality, these teas may just make you hit the bathroom more often, giving the illusion of detoxification. First of all, caffeine in general can make you poop. But some of these teas have extra laxative effects due to senna, a natural medicine that irritates the lining of your bowel, Ansel says.

Learn More »You’ve seen so-called weight-loss and detox teas on health food shelves and online—you know, drinks that promise to boost your metabolism, kill cravings, detoxify you, and help you drop pounds. They’re marketed under different names, but the overarching promise is the same: Drink this tea, and you’ll lose weight and even have a cleaner system, to boot. It sounds too good to be true, and experts say it is. “At best, they’re a waste of your money, and at worst, they’re dangerous,” Jessica Cording, a New York-based R.D., tells SELF. Karen Ansel, M.S., R.D.N., co-author of Healthy in a Hurry: Easy, Good-For-You Recipes for Every Meal of the Day, agrees, telling SELF that these teas are “just a gimmick.” Because here's the truth about weight loss: There is no magic bullet. Health and weight loss look different for every person. If you want to lose weight, what works for you might not work for others, and vice versa. If you're tempted to try one of these teas that claim to bring about weight loss, it’s incredibly important to think about why you want to lose weight in the first place—and whether doing so is a healthy decision that will enrich your life. For example, if you have a history of disordered eating, you should talk to your doctor before starting a new eating plan. Even if you don't have that history, setting healthy, realistic goals and expectations is key. So is making decisions based on health and science, not the marketing for Instagram-famous beverages. But even if these teas did work in some way, when it comes down to it, weight loss is about a lot more than what you eat and drink. It’s important to factor in whether you’re getting quality sleep and trying to keep your stress levels down, plus elements outside of your control, like health conditions and hormones. The most important tip we can give you is to pay attention to your body, treat yourself well, and be kind to yourself above all, which is why you shouldn't try quick fixes that could ultimately harm you. With that said, here's the deal on tea and weight loss. “Tea does contain compounds such as polyphenols and caffeine, which [may slightly increase] metabolism, but this boost isn’t enough to have a meaningful impact on body weight,” she says. “If it did, these tea manufacturers would be raking in millions and millions of dollars.” Plus, so-called weight-loss teas often contain added ingredients that don't have the health-promoting benefits of pure tea and may not be safe, like various stimulants. Some teas—you may have seen them all over Instagram—also guarantee to detoxify you, which Ansel says is bogus. "Any tea that claims to detoxify your system is pure hype," she says. "Your body has its own built-in detoxication system that works 24/7—your liver, which dismantles toxins, and your kidneys, which flush out these waste products." There’s nothing in tea (or any other food product) that can detoxify you, she adds. In reality, these teas may just make you hit the bathroom more often, giving the illusion of detoxification. First of all, caffeine in general can make you poop. But some of these teas have extra laxative effects due to senna, a natural medicine that irritates the lining of your bowel, Ansel says. However, not all uses of senna are FDA-approved, and laxatives aren't a smart—or safe—method of losing weight.
