Other products that boast miraculous weight loss claims are tea based diet supplements. The common ingredient in tea is caffeine. Caffeine is a diuretic, resulting in water loss. Water loss does not equate weight loss, and great care should be taken with any product containing high amounts of caffeine as it is an addictive drug/stimulant. High caffeine consumption can result in nervousness, head aches, hyperactivity, sleeplessness, irritability, and more side-effects which are potentially dangerous to your health. This goes the same for products that are labeled as "energy drinks", which boast weight loss effects. Any weight loss incurred by these products will be temporary, as water is readily restored to the body through consumption.

There is no conclusive evidence stating body wraps are effective in weight loss, and again, the only weight lost would be water lost through perspiration. Water loss is temporary and any weight lost would quickly return.

Your body stores toxins in fat tissue to keep it out of the bloodstream and to prevent it from entering back into organs or cellular tissue.

With toxicity being an issue for many
