It seems that the argument that Pu 'er tea has slimming effect is related to the widespread drinking of Pu 'er tea in Tibet to relieve greasy. Tibet has less crops and more meat. Tea polyphenols in Pu 'er tea really help neutralize the greasy feeling of meat, so Tibetans can't live without Pu 'er tea. Therefore, with the help of rumors and tea merchants, Pu 'er tea is said to lose weight.
The logic of Tibetans drinking Pu 'er tea is correct, but it is far from what you think. Think about it, Tibet is a bitter and cold place, and even now life is very hard. How much meat do you think that place can eat even if there are few crops since ancient times? Can it compare with the braised pork, boiled fish and mutton skewers we are preparing to cook now? And because of the low output, people's lives are difficult and the labor intensity is great, but now we go to work in the office and lie down after work, can the energy consumption be the same? In fact, people only use Pu 'er tea to neutralize the taste and supplement the necessary trace elements.
At that time, people's diet structure was different from ours, and their labor intensity was different. They only thought that Pu 'er tea would lose weight when it saw greasy food, but never thought about the fundamental difference between diet and exercise. This is a generalization. Therefore, to lose weight with Pu 'er tea is simply that you think too much.
The high content of tea polyphenols has nothing to do with weight loss. Tea polyphenols and aminophylline in Pu 'er tea have certain effects on improving basal metabolism. However, that little increase in consumption is completely negligible. To put it bluntly, even if Pu 'er tea can really lose weight, you can't help eating seaweed. Some sensitive people, even if they drink Pu 'er tea, will have their hearts racing and feel sick, all because these two substances will make people excited. Before the excitement passes, the basal metabolism will naturally improve a little because of the faster heartbeat. But it's really hard to predict. Pu 'er tea is just a little uncomfortable and excited, and the improvement of basal metabolism can be ignored. It's fantastic to expect to lose weight with this insignificant calorie consumption.
The only way to lose weight is reasonable nutrition, balanced diet, and ensuring that the nutrient intake reaches the standard but does not exceed the standard, so you can naturally lose weight healthily. Don't take Pu 'er tea as a shortcut, it's useless.
