In order to adopt a healthy lifestyle, we wouldn’t recommend lowering the fat content in your food or reduce the amount of calories you consume on a daily basis. However, the remedy we suggest would come into play only once your meal is over. After a meal, no matter how big or small it is, it would be suggestive to have a cup of the much-hyped lemongrass tea.
Lemongrass tea is available in a majority of the restaurants that have a good collection of teas. It forms an integral part of the Thai cuisine and the tea is also available in simple tea format. It provides a lot of health benefits and some of them are listed below.
 

Lowers fat : All kinds of teas including the silver needle tea, lemongrass tea and many more herbal teas can help in lowering the body fat. They are known to thoroughly aide in digestion and help in processing the foods better. This results in the elimination of the fats. There are a huge variety of teas that can help the body burn calories and each one of them facilitates in lowering the fat absorbed from the meals.
Relieves the toxins from the body: It frees the body from all the chemicals, toxins, fatty acids and preservatives present in the food. We all know that the food we eat is uncontaminated; however the packaged or fried foods contain a lot of flavour additives and colouring agents. A cup of tea after your meals would help the body cleanse these toxins.
Refreshes the body: We often feel bloated after a heavy meal. This happens due to the slow digestion process and the sluggish feeling takes over completely. The teas not only help in lowering the fat or increasing the digestion process, but they also help in detox.

With the above listed benefits, a lot of people are turning towards the consumption of herbal teas after their meals. It happens to be an easy addition to your healthy lifestyles. You must try consuming these teas for a week or so in order to feel the benefits. These teas are available at your local grocery stores; however the specialised variations of these teas are available online. The users can either buy tea online or also get it from any of the health shops.

as i learned about this type of diet in this site, i got interested since i think i can stand its "fruits/vegetables only" policy. im not a rice eater so i dont think this will be a problem..

i did some research about this over the net and found a lot of people claiming that this is effective. although some said that they gave up by the 3rd or 4th day because of cravings and all.

i thought that tihs won't be hard for me since i started controlling my calories a week ago. today is my third day and i'm so happy that i lost 3 lbs. im not actually sure if this is an effect of the GM diet or the diet and exercise i started last week.. i believe that there are so many things that can make us lose weight but the main key is our self-control. i get tempted a lot of times, especially when i go out and pass by different restaurants so i opted to stay home most of the time...

good luck to everyone who wants to try the GM diet..

i'm not really a fan of drinking water or even drinking lots of fluids... but just this week when i always had a "nestea" 1 liter bottle in my hand that i get to consume minimum of 2 liters of water a day..

the trick is not to drink half a liter at once but to take sips of water from time to time.. i consume 1 liter during workout then 1-2 more liters after.. i'm just so glad that i will not have a hard time starting my diet programme next week since i have already adjusted so easily..
