Just Lie There:
Here is a great weight loss tip that shockingly all that it require you to do is lie there and relax: Acupuncture.
The International Journal of Obesity published a review of 31 studies on the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of obesity. The enormous systematic review was comprised of 3,013 cases where acupuncture was used to reduce body weight.
Acupuncture significantly reduced a body weight of 1.56 kg (0.74–2.38 kg), on average, compared to placebo or sham treatments. Acupuncture also showed more improved outcomes for body weight (mean difference=1.90 kg; 1.66–2.13 kg), as well as for obesity (relative risk=1.13; 1.04–1.22), than conventional medication.

Detox Tea Detriment
Detox Teas are attracting a lot of attention these days for weight loss, increased energy, and general detoxification of the body. The problem with many of these teas is that they are laced with stimulants that increase peristalsis causing bowel cramping, pain and diarrhea. Many of the teas actually leave the consumer more fatigued with a weakened digestive system.
Teas to avoid includes ingredients with purgatives stimulating the bowel aggressively including: Da Huang (Rhubarb Root) and Mang Xiao (Mirabilite or Glauber's Salt) these herbs should only be prescribed by a skilled Herbalist.
Teas that benefit digestion and are mild in effect and are safe for most include: Ginger, Dandelion Root, Peppermint, Fennel and Orange Peel.
Detox teas that include licorice should be avoided with people who have high blood pressure as this herb tends to raise blood pressure.
The best way to detox is to eliminate processed foods, alcohol, cigarettes and stressors in your life. Increase dark leafy greens, Vitamin C consumption (up to 5,000 milligrams), Take EPA/DHA Fish Oil 1,200 mg, and drink Green Tea daily. For an extra boost drink Raw Apple Cider Vinegar 2 TBs. for improved digestion and neutralizing toxins in the body.
For a more serious approach to detoxification I like the 28 Day Detoxification program in The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook- Whole Foods Recipes for Personal and Planetary Health by Alissa Segersten and Tom Malterre, M.S., C.N. --
