On January 23, 2012, my Chinese New Year\u2019s resolution was to do something for myself and go on a diet. I have always eaten healthy organic foods, but I needed to do something different.<\/p>\n
My starting weight was 153 pounds. To put things in perspective, before I had my two kids, my normal body weight was 90 pounds. When my son was born I had a c-section and I was told not to exercise until I recovered from the surgery. For a couple of years after his birth I weighed between 170-180 pounds. For several years after that I weighed between 140-150 pounds. Now, my daughter has graduated from college and is now my business partner, and my son is in middle school.<\/p>\n
In the beginning of my diet I decided that I would not weigh myself too often. I didn\u2019t have a formal plan, but I decided to see how I felt. I was inspired by my friend Yang Su who is so health conscious (goes to the gym, eats well) etc. Looking at her, I knew that something she was doing must be working. I started drinking her puer tea because she told me it was good for weight loss, and many other benefits. Not only that, I enjoyed the taste. It was smooth and earthy.<\/p>\n
After a month had passed of drinking puer tea I decided to weigh myself. I was surprised to see that I had lost 12 pounds. I didn\u2019t feel as though I had made any sacrifices. The only thing I had done differently was to drink the tea. At the end of 4 months I had lost 20 pounds. At this point, I started running in the morning. After a week, the running was replaced by an hour walk. I did this morning walk routine for a total of two and a half weeks. Then I decided to take a break from the walking routine because I wanted to make sure that the tea alone was responsible for my weight loss.<\/p>\n
Now it is August, 2012, and my weight is down to 122 pounds. Ever since the birth of my daughter I have wanted to get my weight down to 120. This is the first time in 26 years that I have been so close to actually doing it! When I reach 120 pounds I plan to resume my exercise routine again by going to the gym and getting a trainer. My plan is to reach and maintain a body weight of 110 pounds.<\/p>\n
Puer tea helps suppress my appetite so that I now eat about 2 meals a day. I no longer have the urge for late night eating. Until recently, I had been a lifelong drinker of other kinds of tea such as: oolong tea, jasmine pearl, and dragonwell.The other teas did not curb my appetite the way puer tea does. My body has a tendency to retain fluid, and after drinking a lot of other teas, I often felt bloated with water. Puer tea does not make me feel this way. I still drink coffee in the morning, but I drink puer tea from about 5 pm to 9:30 pm. I usually drink about 8-10 warm cups per day.<\/p>\n
I recommend Pure Puer Tea to my customers and friends. Through my encouragement my boyfriend now drinks it regularly as well. I recommend this tea because I have tried it and it works.<\/p>\n
