I wouldn’t feel that the series on new habits in the new year was an accurate representation of the changes that people are trying to make if it didn’t include a diet book. That said, over the last several years I have focused on health over weight loss. Fortunately, when I am making healthy food choices, my weight stays down.
I have been a lifelong tea drinker. Freshly brewed unsweetened iced tea is my beverage of choice. At times I’ve felt like I should cut back on the tea, mostly out of concern for the caffeine, about which there have been several negative reports. So I gladly read The Ultimate Tea Diet , and was happy to see that the author focuses on the benefits of a healthy diet, a lifestyle that includes exercise, and the consumption of tea–lots of tea: hot, iced, loose-leaf or in a bag. The book begins by outlining the benefits of tea. Mark “Dr. Tea” Ukra claims that tea will “help us lose weight, reduce our cravings for sweets, suppress our appetite, increase our insulin’s effectiveness, lower our cholesterol, and stimulate thermogenesis, which helps the body burn fat for energy.” These claims are not backed up with evidence, but most of us are aware of the high level of antioxidants in tea, which are touted by many as a key to good health.
Also, the use of stimulants to lose weight is also a pretty universal claim. Caffeine is a stimulant. However, what I found most interesting was the evidence another key ingredient contained in tea, L-theanine, actually counteracts the harmful effects of the caffeine in tea (which is already much lower than coffee and soda). This information is backed up by evidence from clinical studies.
The diet itself is a basic lower fat, high fiber, lower carb type diet. The 14-day meal plan is helpful for people who like to be given specific recipes and menus to follow, but they are provided only as a guideline. If you need a pep talk about losing weight and changing other lifestyle choices as a way to take better control of your health, this book provides that for you. Throughout the book are the personal stories of people who were in the test group of the Ultimate Tea Diet.
If you are a tea-drinker, you will enjoy this book. Author Mark Ukra is the owner of the Tea Garden in California, and his family has been in the tea business for years. He explains the simple art of making a good cup of tea, and shares his knowledge of the different types of tea available. The book is also sprinkled with quotes about tea, including my very favorite by C.S. Lewis: “You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
Milan Benes says
My European family seems to drink more tea than my parents up in Maine do. Am I imagining things? Love the Earth, love the internet, love big achievements, love a strong imagination. That’s a poem. Haha, it doesn’t matter what I write. Love everyone.
Kelli Fields says
I’m not a tea drinker. But, I think I am now.
Tim D. says
My fiance and I just started substituting tea for our coffee several weeks ago. We are are both trying to lose 20-30lb before our May 23 wedding. This book would be great reading!!!!
Elaine says
I own a tea room and we have this book available for our customers to browse through while they drink their tea. They love it! I personally learned so much from this book.
There are even great recipes with tea as an ingredient!
Laura says
I was recently told by my doctor that I had to lose 50-100 lbs because they needed to do surgery on my breasts. I was told that tea would help me shed the pounds, but I was concerned because I always thought that tea was rather disgusting. So I force down two cups every day, and the weight is starting to drop. However, I would love to find some new ways to drink/use tea in my every day diet…so I would love to get a copy of the book. Please enter me in the draw.
Nellie says
Tea is the only thing i drink besides plain water.
marsha McRoberts says

A friend recommended chamomile tea to me to drink about an hour before bedtime; I was told that it would make me sleepy, and that there was no caffeine in it. I love the chamomile and have now branched out into other flavors which I drink during the day. However I would still like to learn more about different teas and I am sure that I would enjoy the book.

WOW! What a fabulous review!!!
I am so pleased you took the time reach out to the Mom’s. I know how tough it is for all moms to raise and take care of a family and keep the weight off.
The Ultimate Tea Diet is easy, and will not only bring about weight loss but a change of life as it did for me and countless others who have been on a the diet inclusive of my control group study of 18 persons who lost an average of 18 pounds and 14 inches in 8 weeks. I have included their testimonials in my book.
To all of your readers, this book gives us all hope and the answer is right in your cupboard! If you need any teas I have created some fabulous craving teas to satisfy your sweet tooth. Candy bar black tea, peppermint patty green tea, blueberry pie white tea and many others.
Please, email me any questions: [email protected]

Mariel says
Tea is a reminder to me of all the things I hold most dear: family, friends, and home.
My whole family drinks tea constantly, most especially my own mother. Every cup is either a relaxing moment alone, taking a well-deserved break from the day, or a moment spent with family after a meal shared together. The warmth of the tea just does something to settle and relax us, just like the warmth of a family’s love. In addition, I’m in my first year of college, and I live away from home. Tea continues to cement the bonds I have with my friends at school, as we just hang out watching movies and talking, mugs of tea in hand.
And to me, there’s nothing a cup of tea can’t cure! This would be a great thing for me to share with family and friends.
Leslie S. says

I agree with C.S. Lewis: “You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
Tea I have; a book to go with it, I can always use.
