SkinnyFit Detox

SkinnyFit Detox Review

SkinnyFit Detox is a tea that you are supposed to drink over 28 days in order to detox and according to the advertising, it reduces appetite, removes bloating, and gives you a flat stomach. It does contain caffeine but at just 17.98mg per serving (coffee contains around 95mg per cup), this is unlikely to be an issue for most users.

Detox teas like this usually contain strong laxatives. All those bowel movements are supposed to help you lose weight and remove so-called toxins from your colon, and many people think that a good purge is like a spring clean for your digestive system. It is not actually good for you and recently there has been an outcry at the fact that so many detox supplements contain Senna, a powerful laxative that can cause bad side effects.

In line with current trends, SkinnyFit Detox does not contain Senna. However, it does contain Milk Thistle which is also a laxative and although is not as strong as Senna, does still increase bowel movements and can cause diarrhoea.

In addition, the tea combines a blend of different teas such as Sencha, Matcha, and Oolong with some herbal ingredients. Some of these are known to cause a diuretic effect i.e. makes you pee more, especially nettle leaf and dandelion leaf. This means that it may cause you to lose “water weight” and therefore remove bloating, as well as show up temporarily lighter on the scales.

Other ingredients are assorted herbs such as Guarana, Yerba Mate, and Ginseng. Take a look at the ingredients tab to find out more.

Detox supplements are big business. It is fashionable to drink detox tea and although there is no reason at all why you should, these types of products remain very popular on the market. The basic idea seems to be that modern lifestyles are essentially unclean, and a detox is a way to give your health a quick boost and purify your internal organs such as the colon. There is zero medical evidence that this is necessary or healthy.

What Does SkinnyFit Detox Claim To Do?

According to the advertising, SkinnyFit Detox causes the following benefits:

CLEANSE AND REDUCE BLOATING. SkinnyFit is a detox tea that works to reduce stomach bloating, suppress appetite, flush out toxins, and aid your digestion to help with weight loss and flattening the tummy!

FEEL GREAT EVERY DAY. Our special blend of all natural ingredients helps increase energy levels and boosts your metabolism to help burn fat faster and achieve your best results!

HEALTH THAT SHOWS. Cleansing your colon not only helps digestion but also promotes clear, glowing skin, and reduces acne and inflammation.

There is no evidence that any of this is true.

Does SkinnyFit Detox Work?

Let’s look at the claims!

First up, SkinnyFit Detox is supposed to cleanse and reduce bloating. Some of the ingredients will cause increase urination so as water retention can be a cause of bloating, it is possible that you may notice a difference here. That said you will need to ensure that you drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration but as most people do not drink enough water, this in itself may have a positive effect. Of course, you could just try upping your water consumption for the same results.

Feeling great every day with increased energy levels? This supplement does contain some great teas, and because teas are rich in antioxidants and a specific natural amino acid called L theanine which causes an energizing yet relaxing effect, you will probably notice the benefits of tea. In addition, there is some caffeine here so, like ordinary good quality tea, you will probably find that this does perk you up. Of course, this largely depends upon your own tolerance to caffeine and if you are a regular coffee or tea drinker, you may not even notice.

Health that shows? Unlikely. Cleansing your colon sounds suspiciously as if a laxative effect is expected and you do not need to cleanse your colon in this way. The best way to maintain digestive health and keep regular bowel movements is to eat fibre which is good for digestive health and helps nourish the probiotics in the gut. Taking a laxative on a regular basis is not good for health and can cause a range of side effects.

There is no connection AT ALL between the state of your colon and the state of your skin. Acne can be caused by a bad diet, it is true, but the reasons are complex and as yet have to be determined. Drinking a detox tea is highly unlikely to cure acne.

What Are The Ingredients of SkinnyFit Detox?

Serving is equal to one tea bag.

• Sencha: All tea is derived from the same plant, Camellia Sinsensis, with the differences coming down to production methods and the way the plants are grown. Sencha tea is a Japanese green tea which is very popular. Up to 80% of tea consumed in Japan is Sencha tea and it may have real medical benefits including the reduction of cholesterol, support for the immune system, and more. Source
• Green Tea: Generic green tea – unlike the other teas in the blend which are named varieties. Green tea is less processed than the black tea we drink in the West, and retains more natural antioxidants and amino acid L Theanine. Green tea is very good for health and when combined with added caffeine, it may increase the speed of the metabolism helping weight loss.
• Nettle Leaf: The Stinging nettles, or Utica Dioica, is a powerful herb as well as a garden weed. Amongst other things it has been used since Roman times to soothe joint pain, and is well known as a powerful diuretic meaning that it increases the amount that you urinate. It is useful for water retention, but you do need to ensure that you drink plenty of water while using or it could lead to dehydration.
• Oolong Tea: This tea variety is semi-fermented, meaning it is not green tea (unfermented) or black tea (fully fermented) instead it lies somewhere in the middle. Prized for its flavour, it has all the usual benefits of tea.
• Dandelion Leaf: Garden weed with distinctive yellow flower and diaphanous seed pod. Dandelion may have health benefits but is well known as a diuretic. One folk name is “wet the bed” and that is essentially what it does!
• Goji Berries: Superfruit berry meaning it is high in antioxidants.
• Yerba Mate: Plant extract often used as a tea in its native South America. It contains caffeine so has a stimulant effect, but it is also high in vitamins and other nutrients. Some evidence suggests it can improve leptin function – the hormone that signals hunger, so it may help reduce snacking.
• Lemon Grass: Culinary herb used in Asia and known for its mild lemony flavour. It is often used in tea and may have antifungal properties.
• Milk Thistle: This plant extract has been touted for everything from the reduction of inflammation, liver disease and cancer thanks to a natural chemical called Silymarin, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Although it looks good, research has yet to prove the early claims. Milk Thistle is a laxative and does mimic the hormone oestrogen in the body, so will not be suitable for everyone.
• Guarana: Brazilian seed which contains more caffeine than the coffee bean, and is often drunk as a beverage in the same way as coffee.
• Peach Powder: For added peach flavour.
• Ginseng: There are many kinds of ginseng. This is probably Panax Ginseng a well known herbal extract used by millions every day. It works as an Adaptogen meaning it generally improves feelings of wellness, although scientists have not fully established how it works.
• Stevia: Natural sugar replacement.
• Matcha Green Tea: Green tea variety and the one used in the Japanese tea ceremony. This type of tea is finely ground as a powder. It is grown in the shade which leads to increased caffeine and L Theanine content. Source

Are There Any Customer Reviews For SkinnyFit Detox?

Yes, and there is a range of opinion. Some customers are satisfied with the tea such as these reviewers,

I can definitely tell a difference in my stomach. I will be reordering.

Wow! This stuff actually works. It actually reduced my hunger and I don’t feel as bloated as normally feel. I will definitely purchase this product again.

Some customers feel that it works a bit but that it is overhyped, such as this reviewer,

O.k. I gave this product a 3 because it does help you feel less bloated, however after drinking it daily for 1 month I haven’t lost a single pound and I also go to the gym 3 times a week. It is definitely hyped up so don’t believe people who say they have lost 15 pounds in a month….

Many customers have complained about the price

The tea tastes great and I feel it truly works, however there’s no way I’m spending 60 bucks for a few tea bags. I refuse. I’ll miss my daily teas but I can’t justify 60 bucks! Shame…

And,

$70 for 28 tea bags? No thank you!

Some customers have found it ineffective,

After a week I’m really tired of the flavor. It’s hard to keep drinking it. Haven’t noticed any benefit after 3 weeks.
