In a recent study, women who inhaled the uplifting aroma of peppermint whenever cravings struck lost five pounds every month! "Peppermint stimulates the satiety center in the brain, helping people feel genuinely full on far less food," says lead researcher Alan Hirsch, MD. 

DO THIS:  Drink three cups of peppermint tea daily, before meals, or whenever cravings strike.

Just added Rooibos Provence Loose leaf tea, a delicous blend of South African red tea with rosehips, dried black currants rose leaves, lavender, raisn, dried red currants, rose petals and dried blueberries.  Tastes like a summer day in the south of France.  Lovely!   Here's the best part: It works in your Keurig machine for instant gratification!  Some may say it's sacriligious to brew your tea this way, but I say if it tastes good, try it! Not all teas will brew this way.  Red teas are already in very small pieces.  I have yet to try grinding up a tea to see if it will brew, but I'm going to try it with one of my less expensive  teas.
