Peppermint Tea Diet

I just read this "Posh's Peppermint tea diet" article on on the Metro website about an 11 hour flight she made with only tea to eat

Ingredients

• Peppermint tea bags
• Iron willpower to starve yourself for 11 or more hours at a stretch

Typical Results

• Unhealthy weight loss
• Being too skinny
• Losing muscle as well as fat
• Wrecking your metabolism

Alternative

• Drinking peppermint tea in place of soda, milky drinks, coffee, fruit juice or smoothies
• Eating moderate amounts of good food
  
• Now THAT'S Healthy!

Well, I have to say that I regularly go more than 11 hours without eating anything at all and am only normally slim (not skinny) - but that is from 7 at night until 6 in the morning. Maybe Victoria was just jet-lagged and in a night phase but if not, someone should mention that fasting is not a way to lasting weight loss....

Victoria knows exactly what the way is to lasting weight loss. Shes been thin for quite some time now. Shes gorgeous. Fasting is good for healing and fat loss. Your body only burns muscle as a last resort after its used fat.... we are naturally built for the flight or fight response. If we burnt all our muscle first how would be ever catch food?
