TiffToff88 Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 I'm trying to be a bit healthier, my diet has been terrible over the years, so i thought i'd give green tea a try. How many times do you have to drink that horrendous stuff before you start to be able to tolerate the horrific taste??

Never seen those words written on a tap Don't fall into the trap of healthy labelling shite, it's not worth it. Most 'detox' products are a total myth. The liver is responsible for detoxing the body and if it's not working you'd be horrendously ill likely, so detox is a big no.
ScouseFox Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 nobody likes it people just drink it because they think it has magical powers or they think it's cool. it's neither of those things.
VLC86 Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Funny you should mention this, I've been reading that it's a good fat burner and meant to buy some last night. As everyone else has said though it is complete filth. I remember getting bought a really cool fancy box of the stuff from a Chinese customer and nearly spewing every time I had a cup.
goose2010 Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Get the one with a hint of lemon from Aldi and its actually just about drinkable. But like others say just drink water.
VLC86 Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Just done a bit of research and if you drinking it to burn fat you need about 8 cups a day. Probably better on tablets but I've had fat burner tablets once and felt like I had been on a night out with Kerry Katona.

As has been said- detoxing is bollocks, your liver serves that exact purpose, and anything bioaccumulative not being removed isn't going to be flushed out by a cup of rancid piss.
MrSpaM Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 I tried one of those ProBiotic yoghurt drinks once Made me violently ill This is when I stopped caring about things that are apparently 'good for you'

Libertine Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Lemon one is alright. But the others you have to be careful not to leave the bag in too long else, yeh, it tastes bitter as fook. No tea is going to be some magic health drink, but good if you're trying to cut down on caffeine. Herbal/fruit teas are good too, like peppermint or berry flavours. *handbag emoji*
leicsmac Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Like to drink it when I'm ill because it's the only thing that seems to stay down...however wouldn't go out of my way to get it. Get a bit of lemon in there and it tastes a bit better, though.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Try lemon and ginger tea instead, that stuff is damn good for you and the taste is on the nice side of bearable. If you must go with green tea, agreed that the lemon ones are the most bearable: it is rank though. One of those drinks that are a punishment unless its so cold your hands are shaking and you'll ingest anything warm.
MPH Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Nothing wrong with wanting to be healthy and yeah either put some honey in it or if you are also worried about your sugar intake there is a natural sweetener that most health places sell, maybe even some supermarkets by now that's called stevia. Its the only 100% natural sweetener on the market. Its an extract from the Rebiana plant. Try and get it in a liquid form if you can- tastes better than the granulated. It wasn't allowed onto many western markets for many years because apparently it hadn't been researched well. That isn't actually true what they mean is countries in Europe and also the USA hadn't researched it - it has been used after good research in many Asian countries and South American countries too - the Rebiana plant is Native to Peru.If you research Stevia you'll also find that in its most natural form it can have many health benefits and can help with high blood pressure. Personally i'd rather drink my own piss than drink green tea - but try camomile tea- add honey to that too- kind of like a natural sleep-aid. It can help relax the body
