Seems too easy, right? Drink a few mugs of wu yi tea and lose weight without effort? I did not believe it either and then something peculiar happened over the holiday season.

You should understand that I am in fairly decent shape and if I gain a little weight, it hits my stomach first. Nobody likes the extra roll(s) of fat on their abs, but it happens. I try to watch what I eat, though I am quite fond of an occasional cheeseburger (okay, and wine, chocolate etc.). I enjoy working out, but I do lapse out of my routine when things get hectic like say, Christmas?

This usually means that by mid-January, my jeans are a little tough to button and I walk around in jogging suits until I shed the unwanted weight. This holiday season was different, thanks to this "too good to be true" weight loss remedy.

Around the beginning of December, a neighbor gave me a box of wu yi tea. She knew I liked tea and she did not (I think she was re-gifting!). Anyway, I thought it was pretty tasty. It is not as grassy tasting as green tea, but a little better for you than black tea. Nice, mild flavor. I certainly was not drinking it for weight loss because that just seemed silly.

I went about my business, shopping, decorating, wrapping, working and of course, eating all the lovely, fattening holiday cuisine such as prime rib, mashed potatoes, cheesecake and of course, eggnog martinis. I did not have any time to work out (nor did I feel like it while eating like that!).

After the craziness of the season was over, I reluctantly went to the scale. I had not noticed my jeans getting tighter, but I hoped my ab exercises in October and November had maybe helped me sort of hold in the fat. Not that it would not be there. Do you have any idea how many calories are in cheesecake? (Oh, and the pecan pie? And the brownies?)

Holy cow! I had lost three pounds! How could I have lost three pounds? I ran to the wu yi tea box and read the label. This particular wu yi tea had wu yi tea extract. I guess wu yi tea does make you lose weight, maybe.

Still not convinced, I did a little test. I stopped using the wu yi tea in my iced tea and went back to just black tea. I did not eat cheesecake (kind of tired of it), nor did I pig out. I ate around the amount of calories one would consume to maintain their current weight. I did not work out.

A month later, the 3 pounds were back. Well, I am back to drinking wu yi tea and I even blew the dust off the treadmill. I like the way I feel when I work out (more energy). I am back to eating a normal, healthy diet. However, I do not really mind the fact that if I do happen to slip in a cheeseburger here or a martini there, my wu yi tea has my back!

Nevertheless, these natural substances come in different concentrations in green tea and wu yi tea. The main reason for this is the different fermentation processes that these tealeaves undergo. Green tea is dried and packaged without fermentation. Wu yi tea, on the other hand, is semi-fermented.
