There are roughly 20,000 diet books in print... omg, talk about information overload... and here's the thing I always wondered when I saw a new, great diet book appear-- how sooo many so called experts could have such different opinions about what is the best way for us to reach our weight loss goals? It's so confusing!Yes this email is long, but actually, I'm saving you a boatload of time, because I'm going to give you the giant secret to what actually makes all these books alike!You're welcome :)Many women have told me are looking for simplicity in the struggle to feel healthy and be at their ideal weight. I know how it feels, because I've been one of them for quite awhile, I shared my story previously so I won't bore you with it again, but trust me when I say I know your pain! Please keep writing me your letters, I love reading them!That is what the August Tea Challenge is all about, creating daily templates that are livable and repeatable and actually enjoyable, that get you TO YOUR GOAL and keep you there!So back to the diet books, I was looking for the common denominator of these 20,000 diets, and it seems that Dr. Barry Sears was also wondering the same question, because I found my answer in his scientific research.
Dr, Sears is a Ph.D. who has been writing about diet and its affect on our health for over 30 years, I remember reading The Zone back in the late 90s. Since then his research has continued and science has been proving his original theories correct, in fact Harvard and the USDA food pyramids continue to get closer to his recommendations each year.The SECRET thing that he says unites all diet plans is what is called the "Glycemic Load" of the diet. Either the diet contains too much carbohydrates and makes excess insulin or too little carbohydrates and creates excess glucagon. Either way, this creates some hormonal disruption in your body that forces you away from your ideal weight.How do we solve this problem?
That's the SECRET you need to know!!!Here's a brief explaination from the Zone website abouthow to structure your meals each day:"Following the Zone Diet blueprint is easy. At every meal, divide your plate into three equal sections. (You need an eye for that.) On one-third of the plate put some low-fat protein that is no larger or thicker than the palm of your hand (that’s because some hands are larger than others).This doesn’t have to be animal protein, but it has to be protein-rich. For vegans this means either extra-firm tofu or soy-imitation meat products. For lacto-ovo vegetarians, it can also include dairy and egg protein-rich sources in addition to vegan sources of protein. For omnivores, the choice of proteins is even wider.
Next, fill the other two-thirds of your plate with colorful carbohydrates, primarily non-starchy vegetables and small amounts of fruits to balance the protein as shown below.
Here are two very practical hints when it comes to carbohydrates. First, the more white (white bread, white pasta, white rice, and white potatoes) you put on your plate, the more inflammation you are going to create. Second, the more non-starchy vegetables you consume and the fewer grains and starches you eat (ideally none), the better the results. Scientifically, it’s called lowering the glycemic load of the meal.
Finally, you add a dash of fat (that’s a small amount). The fat should be rich in monounsaturated fat, and low in omega-6 and saturated fats. This could be olive oil, guacamole, or nuts."
Below you can find a graphic from his website, www.zonediet.com and his website explains the science in much more detail than I will here. Another really important thing that he goes over is the science behind polyphenols and how they play a role in protecting your health, which are also found in our Newport Skinny Tea.I have been successful with the Zone structure and I have found many other people find its basic simplicity very easy to use. The actual diet is more specific and exact than what I'll be teaching you to use as an outline, so if you are interested in reading more about this diet and the exact way to use it, I suggest you buy the book The Mediterranean ZoneOver this into week, I will simplify this template even more and be giving you easy meal guides and recipes you can follow that will get your appetite under control, using this approach along with daily tea drinking is going to sky rocket your efforts, although I cannot make guarantees that you will achieve results, I have seen this approach work when nothing else would, so start getting ready for our August tea challenge!You can follow along with or without our teatox product,if you want to order the challenge kit, make sure you do it soon!!Details below! -

How does using tea to detox help weight loss?Detox is the process of removing of toxins and harmful materials from the body, your body does this naturally and can be helped using some products and supplements. It is a very important process necessary for a healthy and active lifestyle and to keep your weight under control, as well. Now you are definitely thinking of how do I detox myself? I am going to tell you about that.Newport Skinny Tea is a wonderful mix of natural tea and herbs that helps that helps to removes the toxins and harmful materials from your body quickly. Besides detoxification, it has numerous benefits such as:
- promoting weight loss through using food more efficiently
- Increasing metabolic rate

Newport Skinny Tea actually helps your body repair damaged parts of its metabolism, while we cannot guarantee results or make weight loss claims, you can search for yourself the wonderful studies that have been published about the ingredients that are in Newport Skinny Tea.
How Does The Tea Works?
Newport Skinny Tea consists of ingredients that helps you to maintain a healthy body weight without becoming ill by harmful toxins as they are released from your fat stores. It does this as it assists in detoxification process by trapping the toxins and excess dietary fat that you are eating and escorting them out of your body quickly.
You may have been trapped in a cycle where you are dieting and exercising strenuously only to find that you are gaining weight or there is no movement on the scale, this is more common than you think! There can be several causes of this, but most commonly what is happening is that you are getting the excess fat into your blood stream through exercise and then you are not burning it off, its actually just being reabsorbed by your body.
Sometimes, if a person has made their starvation mechanism activate by withholding food from themselves for long periods of time, the body will hold on to every possible calorie, because it is in "starvation." This is an especially difficult and unfortunate place to be, because it takes a lot of consistency and patience to get out of it. You have to convince your hormones that you're safely out of the famine. For this to rebalance, you need to get your hormones under control, especially your cortisol and calm your system down, which tea is very good at doing. Make sure if you use coffee, that you drink tea immediately after your coffee, which will help your hormones balance.
Also, a metabolism can be so weighed down with toxins that it just is basically not functioning or very confused. There are so many toxins that will confuse our communication in our body. In both these cases, tea and herbs found in Newport Skinny Tea can be extremely beneficial in getting you through those plateaus and back to feeling healthy and vibrant! If you are eating a diet very high in processed foods, sugars and oils, you need to start transitioning to a higher fiber, very clean diet and keep being vigilant with it until you begin to feel better. Herbs in our tea, especially our night time tea will help escort these toxins which are trapped in your fat, out of the body, but be warned, you can feel sick when they are coming out and you can also crave them very badly as well.
I want to again state that starving the body and drinking harsh chemicals that make you lose 5 pounds in a week will only make these states worse, and is definitely not what our teas are designed to do. Our teas are designed to help you regain a state of balance, where you can enjoy eating food and exercise again, and stop worrying about every single thing you eat. Relaxing is a great benefit to your body's hormones as well.
Obesity is considered as a multifactorial disease as it causes many other diseases that are fatal, such as cardiovascular diseases. So the first step of becoming healthy is to maintaining healthy body weight by overcoming obesity. In this respect, Newport Skinny tea is a great solution to use with dietary and exercise changes. The day time tea helps to convert your food into energy by burning your food’s fats. It increases your body metabolism and have appetite suppressant ingredients that helps you to feel less hungry. By taking it on regular basis, it will help you to reduce weight and improve your body's physiological profile.The night time tea acts as a cleanser of toxins that are present in your body. It also helps the absorption of the unwanted calories and fats resulting in faster weight loss. It helps you to look skinny and beautiful by supporting positive lifestyle changes!

Learning how to detox your skin can help you to get fresh, younger, and healthier skin. Detoxification is a process of clearing out chemicals and dangerous toxins from your skin. Detoxification of skin is a necessity process not a luxury to regain younger looking and healthy skin. The skin is a largest organ of a body. On a daily basis, our skin is attacked with harmful chemicals and earthly elements. Variety of toxins including food additives, alcohol, pollutants such as dirt, dust, stale air, and smoke-filled rooms which can cause to clog up the pores and unwanted skin outbreak. Stress and poor diet can be the root causes for serious redness and blemishes. Healthy and fresh skin is an important health element which regulates other body functions and works as barrier against harmful outside influences and support your immune system. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on expensive detox drinks, powders, juices, and other supplements. Here, learning how to detox your skin using natural ingredients will give you opportunity to detox your skin at home and show off glowing and beautiful skin.
Detox your inside first:
Skin is an outward sign of what is going on inside your body. Environmental factors and personal issues such as stress, too much sun light, and unhealthy eating habits can results in mild or serious skin problems. Major skin problems are dull looking skin, blemishes, and uneven skin tone. These problems occur because the skin cannot breathe and perform its functions of flushing out the toxins properly. Detoxification can flush out all the impurities from your body and keep your skin healthy and fresh. A good way to detox your body and skin is to adopt healthy eating pattern and reduce alcohol, sugar and unhealthy vegetable oil from your lifestyle.
What are the options to detox your skin?
Skin can flush out waste through sweat glands, it does need a little more help getting waste out directly through the skin and exfoliating dead skin cells. There are different ways of detoxifying your skin, including taking a sauna to promote sweating, applying apple cider vinegar, and bathing with Epsom salts. You can even apply a natural clay mask, cucumber, and lemon mask for your face. Following are the safe and effective natural ingredients to detox your skin.
- Epsom Salt:
Epsom salt is a great source of magnesium and are magical for relieving stress and easing muscle soreness. Add Epsom salt in a water to take bath to make your skin smooth and soft, don't soak longer than 30 minutes because the toxins can begin to get reabsorbed.
- Alcohol:
Alcohol has anti-aging properties which can eliminate redness and inflammation. Try to take a red wine bath and bubbly champagne bath to get alcohol benefits, or use a pack to put some on your face.
- Essential oils:
Essential oils are the perfect and effective keys for gorgeous skin. Bath with rose, lavender, sandalwood, or chamomile oils will help to stay calm and get aromatherapy effects for neat and clean skin. Adding our teas to your bath, such as the Malibu Beach Beauty Tea will release the essential oils from the flowers into the bath, you can combine it with our Malibu Beach Beauty Mask to help draw out even more impurities.
- Ginger:
Ginger is best ingredient to fulfill the needs of detox bath, it raises the "heat" of your body so you sweat more. It helps to flush out toxins through sweat and leave you feeling fresh and clean. Ginger is featured in our Newport Skinny Day and Night teas, it has amazing benefits, include it in your diet whenever possible!
- Coconut oil:
Coconut oil is one of the best and effective natural ingredients for detox bath. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic properties which soften and moisturize your skin, its truly magical!
- Lavender:
Lavender essential oil is a relaxing herb and perfect choice to take a soundly sleep. It is very effective for healthy and clean skin. Our Corona del Mar lean tea features lavender and other flowers that release their oils when added to a bath.
- Oatmeal:
If you are suffering from irritated or itchy skin then oatmeal is very effective for you. Use it to take a bath to get detoxification benefits.
- Tea:
Adding few tea bags into your bath tub is an effective skin reviving recipe. Green tea is ideal for toning skin. You can also add any our teas to your bath after you use them, Mermaid Cove Metabolism Tea is especially good mixed with some essential oils and baking soda.
- Honey:
Honey is power house for skin. Taking a bath with two tablespoon of honey is a way of getting anti-aging, moisturizing, and antibacterial skin. You can use it as a facial mask and add it to your bath water.
- Baking soda:
Baking soda is safe and simple ingredient to detoxify your skin, it also helps your body balance its acidity. Take a fun bath with baking soda after a hard workout to ease your tired muscles, its great to mix with other ingredients because it really doesn't add any smell to the bath.
- Roses:
Rose petals and rose water smells wonderful and has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and moisturizing properties. Try to take bath with rose petals to clean your skin, we feature rose petals in our Newport Skinny Tea facial steam and our Malibu Beach Beauty Tea.

Detox baths are wonderful ways to detox, they also help balance your body, restore your vitality and clear your mind. They are an enjoyable way to increase your health and fitness, so embrace them! When you are working on your teatox, eating cleaner and increasing exercise they can support your efforts and make you feel great.
Add one of these to your bath and help your body detox:- 1-2 cups of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (balancing, beautifying)
- 1-2 cups of Baking Soda (powerfully alkalizing & detoxing)
- Water from Boiling large piece of Ginger (warming, increases circulation)
- 1-2 cups of Epsom Salts (soothing for sore muscles, helps sleep)
Remember you can add essential oils, flower petals or tea bags to any of these baths, but I would start with just one detox ingredient in a time. Keep the bath under 30 minutes and make sure you have someone else in the house when you are taking them, just in case. Drink a glass of water before and one after and go slowly as they can be very powerful!
Take the time to love yourself until you feel your most beautiful you! -
I hear a LOT of people say they can't do things...Can't get themselves to exercise, can't stop eating sugar or bread or soda, can't get up early... can't lose weight. That's the biggest one.Of course, this isn't the "truth," we usually just confuse the outcome we want with the action we think we need to take... we want a different outcome to happen this time and think we simply need to will ourselves to take a different action to get there. We try, we fail and then we beat ourselves up for having "no will power."Ever been there? Like a million times? Yeah, me too.Why does this happen?I can give you some of the answers I've found, because I wanted the power to change any habit I had, I've researched this topic quite a bit. And though I haven't found a simple answer, the process of actually changing is less complex than you might have thought, and it has little to do with "will power."The First StepOkay, so the first step you have to take is to stop talking negatively to yourself. AT ALL.It doesn't mean you can't notice that you are doing things you want to change, but you have to stop telling yourself that you are bad for doing them. Bad is a judgement, something your brain is listening to- and frankly, your brain can't handle it.
By criticizing yourself, you are creating a huge amount of negative momentum, you are causing yourself WAY more pain than the cookies ever will, because you are essentially programming your brain to continue down a negative spiral filled with shame that keeps feeding off itself and keeps setting you up to do more of what you don't want to do (what we affectionately call a habit.)So, you ate some cookies (or whatever). Here's the antidote... are you ready?It sounds WAY TOO SIMPLE, I know. You need to stop the momentum you've got going and start it going in the other direction. How hard this will be for you, is based on how long you've been going down this path and how hard you (or others) have been in doling out criticism.I had a personal habit of starting projects and not finishing them, others were more critical of this habit than I was, but I decided I wanted to change it for myself and it took about 6 months of positively reinforcing myself to change it. I hadn't figured out some of these keys yet, so I think it could have been faster but it was a lifelong habit as well.(warning... there may be an affirmation coming up soon...stick with me.... it will be ok)So, how did I change this habit... here's the steps:1. I picked to start project I know I could finish (that's the result I wanted to change)2. I praised myself about it EXCESSIVELY when I finished it3. I wrote it down on a list each day and checked it off (don't skip this!)4. I used my mantra "Whatever I start, I finish, because I am a finisher"Yes, its a bit of mental gymnastics... but your brain, apparently, loves to do gymnastics! Yay!So give it something good to do, and the smaller you start, the easier it will be. Once you have a victory, it will continue to get easier.
So, how does this relate to tea, you're wondering... and how do I use it with Newport Skinny Tea?Newport Skinny Tea is another tool that can help you break negative eating and exercise patterns, its not a miracle tea! Its a tea that helps you achieve your goals and your dream health & body, you can use it to break bad habits with the same steps outlined above.Set up the same kind of desired results for yourself, "I drink my tea when I get hungry." Then drink it, praise yourself, write it down and say some kind of positive, praising manta "Whenever I have cravings, I drink tea, because I'm a tea drinker."This mind exercise, though simple, is powerful. You can create powerful habits each day that literally change the course of your life. I hope you find this as useful as I did, I know that you can live the life you dream of, I want that for you and I will give you everything I have to help you! More to come....PS: There are more complicated life patterns that take more advanced skills to change, we'll be going over some of these and this simple method won't work on physical addictions or psychological illnesses because they contain a physiological component that needs professional help, which is well worth your investment, please know you are worth it! These tips cannot substitute for professional help. -
Coffee Scrubs are hot right now!They really do help your legs look better instantly, plus the effects get better the more consistently you use them. Combine this practice with dry brushing and a detox bath for a DIY spa afternoon!The caffeine in the coffee does help more blood get to your cellulite and it delivers antioxidants directly to your skin, so there's an instant skin tightening affect that's temporary. The coffee actually does "stain" your skin at little and makes it look tanner and more even in tone. Plus the salt exfoliates and the oil smooths.You will need:1 cup of freshly ground coffee beans6 Tablespoons Coconut or Olive Oil3 Tablespoons Sea SaltEmpty JarEssential Oils (Optional)Dry Brush (Optional)Make the scrub: Start with fresh coffee beans and not old grounds if you want the maximum caffeine effect. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and put into your jar, very simple!Tips before making: If using, add the essential oils to the olive or coconut oil before you mix so they are dispersed evenly. If you are sensitive, you can skip the salt as it may scratch your skin. Use enough oil so it binds the grounds together.Before you scrub: If you choose to dry brush your skin first, do it before getting in the shower and remember to always brush towards your heart.Start Scrubbing: Take a handful of the coffee scrub while standing in the tub or shower and massage into wet skin, keep rubbing, concentrating on the problem areas, then let it sit on your skin as long as you can, up to 10 minutes. Wash off, remember to keep it away from your eyes and any sensitive areas of skin you have. Wash your tub or shower well because it can discolor them and also be careful because the oil may make the tub slippery.After you get out: you can apply self tanner and a top layer of coconut oil! Admire your perfectly polished skin!Soon we'll be talking about detox baths! Watch for it!Remember we have our own Mermaid Cove Metabolism Boosting Coffee Scrub!
