So far, I’ve just been reviewing books available as digital downloads, but I got to thinking that I really have to talk about this latest weight-loss promotion. I’ve had a lot of my patients ask me what I thought about this and now I’m going to share my opinion with you. Aren’t you lucky today? Maybe reading this will save you a few bucks.
You’ve seen the ads “Wu Long Tea, as seen on Oprah”, Amazing Oriental ‘Wu-Yi Tea diet – Melt Fat and Get Healthy’, and ‘Melts Away Fat Like Magic’. There seem to be a variety of similar names for this tea.
This is another product with a grain of truth that preys on the average consumer. We all want Weight Loss to be easy, I know I do. Read on . . .
Have you seen how much this costs? Gag me now! I can’t believe they’re asking this much for this tea. An intro package for 64 Wu Yi tea bags costs $29.95, plus S&H on their auto ship program. So one tea bag is approximately 46 cents. Way more than you’d pay at your local grocery store.
Not only do these sites promoting the teas charge an arm and a leg for a box of tea, they put you on a monthly recurring order for you to get their best deal. Even then, one tea bag would cost you between 19 and 36 cents, which is still quite a bit more than you should be paying.
The specific tea these folks are promoting is Oolong tea. They’ve given it different names to make it seem more expensive or special – that’s all. Oolong tea is a red tea and it’s different from green tea or black tea.
Check out Oolong tea the next time you go shopping in the tea section. I have a box of Oolong tea by Twinings in my cupboard which I purchased at Publix (my local grocery store). You’ll be able to purchase a box for around five or six dollars. You do the math…. Where do you think you should purchase this?
These ads prey on our desires for a quick and easy fix to a weight problem. But we also have to be responsible for our own actions. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Do your research the next time something sounds fantastic and super easy like this before you buy. Since this is sold on the internet, do a search for comparisons and reviews.
