How to Incorporate a Diet Meal Plan with Wu Yi Tea Part 2

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Ready to look and feel fantastic with a wu yi (oolong) tea weight loss plan? I have some fabulous ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and even dessert that will help you achieve your weight loss goals while maintaining a healthy diet.

Okay, let’s go over a basic meal plan using wu yi tea, lean proteins, whole grains, veggies, fruit and nonfat dairy. You will lose weight on a very satisfying meal plan that is healthy and delicious, AND you will be able to follow this way of eating for life to maintain your weight.

Ideas for breakfast: one poached egg on a piece of wholegrain toast (no spread) with diced tomatoes, herbs and/or pepper sauce OR ¼ cup whole grain cereal with strawberries, bananas and ½ cup nonfat milk.

Eat either breakfast choice alongside a mug of wu yi tea with fresh lemon juice.

Not a big egg fan? How about a few pieces of lean deli turkey on the toast with a thin layer of Dijon mustard, fresh tomatoes and marinated mushrooms?

The idea is that you have a lean protein source with a whole grain carbohydrate. Flavoring the meal with veggies adds nutrients and more fiber, which will help you lose weight.

You won’t go hungry while following this wu yi diet plan because you’ll have a snack about two hours after breakfast and another two hours after lunch. Always include a lean protein with fruit or veggies. One of my favorites is a small, nonfat yogurt with a teaspoon of flaxseed mixed in the yogurt.

You can have a handful of almonds with a bowl of fresh berries. A bowl of fresh strawberries with a dab of nonfat vanilla yogurt is fantastic. Remember to drink your wu yi (oolong) tea throughout the day either hot or iced.

Lunchtime! Grab a handful of those pre washed spring greens or baby lettuces that I mentioned in the last blog post. Place them in a bowl and then add some lean protein.

Try turkey, tuna, chicken, kidney beans or whatever you have handy. Use about 2 ounces which is a little less than the size of a deck of cards.

It’s a good idea to plan ahead and cook an extra piece of lean protein at your dinner the night before. Planning is key in any weight loss plan! Use more veggies adding as much color and flavor as possible.

Drizzle the salad with balsamic vinegar, lemon juice or pepper sauce and enjoy it with a glass of iced wu yi tea. Stay away from “creamy” dressings. Many people drench salads in creamy dressings that add 300 calories or more and wonder why they don’t lose weight.

Dinnertime is the same principal as lunch. You can have the veggies as a side salad or mix it with your lean protein source. Add a small side of such as couscous, sweet potato, quinoa or brown rice.

You can marinate any lean protein in olive oil, lemon juice, pepper sauce, herbs, garlic and onion. And don’t forget the mug of wu yi tea!

Here is a video showing a wu yi tea harvest:

Am I forgetting anything? Oh yes! Dessert! Whether you are a “salty” or “sweet” (or both) type person, you should allow your taste buds a little treat now and again to stave off that binge monster.

Salty ideas: one cup popcorn flavored with pepper flakes or sea salt; toasted seasoned pumpkin seeds. Sweet treats: berries and nondairy, sugar-free topping; or my favorite, one mug of oolong and vanilla tea (use a bag of vanilla tea with your wu yi tea) and 1 square of dark chocolate!

Losing weight is easy if you drink wu yi tea and flavor healthy foods the right way.

The good news is that wu yi tea already has a lovely, wonderful flavor and aroma! It truly complements every meal and you can add other teas to wu yi (oolong) tea to create fruity, spicy or sweet wu yi tea drinks!

Purchase 100% pure wu yi tea that is very high quality from the link below and ENJOY!

Cheers!

P.S. Wu yi tea has a lovely, mild flavor and aroma! Enjoy losing weight with wu yi tea!!

How to Incorporate a Diet Meal Plan with Wu Yi Tea Part I

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

I’ve been telling you all about wu yi tea and its remarkable health benefits and weight loss capabilities.

Wu yi (also known as oolong) tea can help, and I highly recommend it, but you need diet and exercise if you want to look and feel fantastic. I’m excited to share with you a diet meal plan that I follow regularly to stay fit and healthy.

Today, I’m going to talk about the basics of a wu yi diet plan.

By doing this, you’ll be able to play around with the actual diet meal plan that I’ll explain in the next blog post. This is important because in order to lose weight and keep it off for good, you need to be able to make the right weight loss choices on your own.

I try to stick with eating foods that are nutritionally dense, satisfying and practical.

I choose those items that will offer me an abundance of nutrients, yet with less cost to the daily calorie budget. In addition, I incorporate my wu yi tea in a number of ways including a lovely mid afternoon sweet treat!

You might be thinking, “Yuck, Caitlin! I don’t want to eat healthy foods all day. They don’t have any flavor!” That’s only because nobody has told you how to flavor healthy foods like whole grains and veggies!

The following flavorings are virtually zero calorie natural alternatives for flavoring food: pepper sauces, vinegars, Dijon mustards (no honey Dijon’s!), onions, garlic, and tomatoes. In order to lose weight, it’s highly important that you consume plenty of fiber found in grains and veggies. Fiber is very important for weight loss.

Never, ever skip breakfast! It’s been proven repeatedly that people who eat a healthy breakfast within an hour of waking are generally more fit and healthy.

I used to skip breakfast because I thought I didn’t have time. Make time!

I dropped 5 pounds the first week that I began eating breakfast and drinking a mug of oolong tea in the morning. My energy levels soared and diet and exercise was a cinch!

Eating breakfast and adding a mug of oolong tea will kick off your metabolism for the day, which will raise the rate at which you burn calories!

Throughout the day, you can drink wu yi tea either hot or iced. I like to brew a big pitcher of wu yi tea in the morning. (Secret! Throw in a few bags of flavored herbal teas such as blueberry or peach!) Take the wu yi tea with you in a portable mug.

The tea counts as part of your daily water intake and staying hydrated is important if you want to lose weight, so drink up! If you are sensitive to caffeine, switch to decaf oolong tea in the afternoon.

Losing weight isn’t about starving yourself. In fact, you need to start eating more often. Rather than eating three large meals a day, eat six times a day and have smaller meals. By doing this, you boost your metabolism and you will lose body fat rather than lean body mass!

Planning is everything for a good weight loss meal plan. Keep a few things handy: washed spring greens, chopped veggies (anything, the more the merrier!), zero-calorie flavorings, and lean protein such as chicken breast, canned tuna, fish, turkey breast or even lean beef or protein.

The planning for this weight loss plan begins with ordering your wu yi tea! If you want to be fit and healthy, boost your efforts by ordering wu yi tea today!

Cheers!

P.S. Speaking of planning, have you stocked up on your wu yi tea? Don’t run out!

Which is Better for Gorgeous Skin? Wu Long or Wu Yi Tea?

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Did you know that merely drinking a few delicious mugs of tea per day can boost the quality of your skin and fight premature aging?

Wu yi tea has been drunk for centuries in the Asian world and thankfully, it’s finally catching on in the Western world. Its age-fighting capabilities are remarkable! It may be YOUR answer to maintaining youthful skin!

Wu long and wu yi tea varietals have become all the rage in both the weight loss and age-fighting arenas. Both teas are highly beneficial in improving overall health, but is one better than the other? To answer this question, let’s look at the origin of tea.

All tea comes from the plant Camellia sinensis, but the time that the leaves are picked and then the way in which the tea is fermented determines the tea variety. Black tea, green tea, white tea and oolong tea are the four main varieties of tea.

White tea and green tea are unfermented and considered highly nutritious, yet they have a bit of a bitter, grassy flavor. White tealeaves are picked prior to the opening of the bud making it a bit milder.

Black tea is fermented for a long time and thus, it is not as nutritious as green tea; however, the flavor is more agreeable to our Western palates.

Oolong tea is fermented for a short time. Because the process is shorter, oolong tea is still highly nutritious, but the fermenting process makes the tea milder in aroma and flavor.

Wu long and wu yi tea are both oolong teas. Wu long tealeaves are harvested during the first cycle of leaf growth on the tea plant. The plant is then allowed to regenerate for more cycles of growth and harvest.

This is how wu long tea is prepared in China:

For this reason, many tea connoisseurs believe that wu long tea is superior. T

he tea is higher in price (usually) then wu yi tea, but wu yi tea has the same age-fighting, health-boosting capabilities than wu long tea has, and the flavor differences are so subtle that most people wouldn’t really notice. I say, save a few dollars!

As well, the antioxidants in wu yi tea can help restore a healthy complexion because they are key in skin cell regeneration and repair of damaged cells.

Just a few wonderfully flavored mugs of wu yi tea a day can boost your health, help you lose weight and improve your appearance! It’s easy, it’s inexpensive and only a few clicks away! Check out the link below!

Cheers!

Watch Out for Wu Yi Source! It’s a Scam!

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

If you are trying to lose weight, genuine wu yi tea can be a huge boost towards your weight loss efforts. Weight loss can be difficult, but with wu yi tea, you have a better chance at success merely by sipping on healthy tea. The antioxidant content alone in genuine wu yi tea makes it a great choice as a weight loss aid because you are doing something good for you body.

Drinking tea to promote weight loss has become very popular and with popularity comes the bandwagon of companies that wish to profit. That’s just the how free enterprise works, but for some companies, selling a great product that helps people and making an honest dollar just isn’t enough! Wu Yi Source is one of these companies. Listen up! I don’t want you to get scammed by Wu Yi Source like the HUNDREDS of people who already have!

In today’s scary economic climate, every single dollar counts. Many of us are getting by paycheck to paycheck as we watch our savings dwindle. Now imagine that two days before payday, you have a few dollars left, and a company makes an unauthorized charge on your credit or bank debit card! Maybe you were going to use that bit of money to pay the electric bill or buy groceries.

This is how the Wu Yi Source scam works. They lure you in to accept a “free trial.” They say they need your credit card number because you have to pay for shipping, but not the product. I guess that’s reasonable, right?

It might be if they didn’t just sign you up for AUTO SHIPMENTS! And, they’re not exactly forthright about this either. The fact that you just signed up for auto shipments and authorized them to charge your debit or credit card for the auto shipments is concealed within their advertising material.

The next part of this scam, you’re not going to believe! As con-artists go, these guys know what they are doing! They make it nearly impossible to cancel the auto shipment. If you email them, they don’t respond. You can call them, but it’s an international number AND you will have to wait more than 20 minutes to speak with a person.

Some people are reporting that even after the phone call, they still charge your card! The ONLY way to cancel the auto shipment is to send a letter with the free trial product.

So emails, expensive phone calls, letters and more “shipping” charges and you may or may not be out of the nightmare! All of that for something that to activate, took a few clicks.

Unfortunately, it sounds like their wu yi tea isn’t even the real deal! I know that genuine wu yi tea can help a person lose weight, so when people report that the “free trial” didn’t even work, that’s really bad!

I’m so glad I ordered my wu yi tea from The Wu Yi Tea Company. No gimmicks, no mysterious charges on my debit card! Whew! Just good old wu yi tea!

Check out this video on the history of Wu Yi Tea:

Wu yi tea CAN be fantastic for weight loss and overall health! Just make sure you order from a reputable company like The Wu Yi Tea Company! Click on the link below to find out more.

Important Things to Check Before You Buy Wu Yi

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Close your eyes and imagine being slimmer, healthier and more beautiful. It feels fantastic when you are thin and healthy. Having more energy and feeling comfortable in any outfit is priceless, but buying wu yi tea is not if you do not know where to shop.

Months ago, I was looking for a weight loss product as well. Especially in these difficult economic times, we can’t afford to be scammed when we buy wu-yi tea or any other weight loss aid.

At the same time, we cannot afford, nor do we want, to be overweight or obese either.

There are some simple but important things to keep in mind when you buy wu yi tea. Because of my experience and education, it’s easy for me to weed out the scams simply because I know what works and what doesn’t when it comes to weight loss.

As well, I happen to be a tea lover for its flavor and its health benefits, so I know what to look for when shopping for tea.

Make sure that the wu yi tea you are buying is really tea! All real tea is derived from the Camellia sinensis plant.

The leaves are harvested and then dried in different manners producing three different types of tea: black tea, green tea and oolong tea. Wu-yi tea is oolong tea grown in the Chinese Wuyi mountain range.

Many so-called tea products on the market aren’t really tea at all. You can drink these all day long and they won’t help you lose weight.

Many herbals, while somewhat beneficial, are used as tea, but they won’t have the same weight loss benefits of wu-yi tea because they don’t contain EGCG which is the powerful antioxidant contained in tea.

Wu yi tea products need to be sensible. When you are looking to buy any weight loss supplement or dieting program, you want to make sure that the marketing material isn’t boasting miraculous claims that don’t involve diet and exercise.

Slimming down requires a proper diet and exercise program. The ancient Chinese slimming secret, wu-yi tea, merely boosts your body’s ability to burn fat and also blocks fat absorption. Your energy levels will increase as well making it easier to keep up with an exercise program.

EGCG found in tea has been studied and found to improve weight loss results of people following a good weight loss plan that included proper nutrition, exercise and safe weight loss.

The oolong tea plan will also include advice on safe weight loss so that you don’t lose weight too quickly. Weight that is lost too quickly will be regained, and you’ll be lowering your metabolism in the process which is the exact opposite goal of long term weight loss.

If you want to lose weight, feel fantastic and improve your overall health and appearance, you need a wu yi product that is the real deal!

The Wu Yi Tea Company is a fabulous, honest company that will not cheat you like other companies that offer free trials only to charge your credit card with an auto shipment. For premier weight loss help and authentic wu yi tea, click on the link below!
