Attention Tea and Coffee Lovers
So I discovered this GREAT new tea! Yerba Mate Latte.
It's made by The Republic of Tea.
It's a deep, chocolaty brew that taste mildly like coffee or chai tea. It contains an exotic blend of cocoa and Brazilian Mate,Rooibos, cactus flowers and almonds.
It's all about the Brazilian Mate. Yerba mate is very popular in South America, as popular - and perhaps more so - than coffee is here. Users report a mental state of wakefulness, focus and alertness.
Throughout South America, yerba mate is utilised as a tonic, diuretic, and as a stimulant to reduce fatigue, curb the appetite, and helps with gastric functions. In Brazil, yerba mate is believed to stimulate the nervous and muscular systems and is used for digestive problems, renal colic, nerve pain, depression, fatigue, and obesity. Some of these claims have now been backed up by scientific research!
Best yet....it helps you lose weight! Brazilian Mate has also been found to be thermogenic, which means that this herb encourages the body to burn calories.

French Paradox
Ok...this is the stuff that the Da Vinci Code is made of...what is WITH all the super skinny French people! Hello!!! I've eaten Croissants...I know first hand that it is practically IMPOSSIBLE to stop at one...but yet...all those French women are so thin!
I was reading an article on Oprah.com about this very subject.
Here's the cliff notes:
-11% of people in France have weight problems as opposed to a whopping 67% in America...man...that's crazy!!!
-America looks at food as bad and guilty...the French love food and look at it in pleasure
-French women DO NOT diet or live by the scale...if their pants are tight...they've overeaten. Period.
Now this lady wrote a book that has ALL the secrets...apparently women have been losing lots of
