The problem with many weight loss supplement formulas sold today is that they include diuretics that reduce bloat and pounds through the elimination of water.
The weight you lose is only water weight. The loss is temporary and doesn't include any fat. Diuretics can promote dangerous dehydration and cardiac problems. As soon as the body is rehydrated, the weight returns. Meaningful weight loss requires loss of body fat not water.
One sure way to tell that you are dealing with a weight loss product that is a diuretic is if it makes outrageous promises, such as "Lose Ten Pounds a Week" or "Lose Ten Pounds in Three Days."
You can also figure out what products are diuretics by looking at the ingredients, which according to the FDA must be listed from the most to the least. One of the biggest culprits is caffeine. Caffeine may be listed on the box as a main ingredient or it may be concealed in an ingredient such as green tea.
Most magical weight loss formulas (and especially those that are marketed as Chinese or miracle weight loss teas) contain herbs that act as diuretics.
There is no such thing as a "fat burning herb" only herbs and botanicals that cause an increase in heart rate, breathing and other functions. This is not "fat burning" it is simply stress for the body that may trigger it to burn more calories.
Here is a breakdown of some of the most common herbs that are described as fat burning or weight loss miracles but that are actually diuretics.
