Benefits of Hibiscus Tea on Weight Loss Made from the flower of a hibiscus plant, hibiscus tea is a tart-tasting herbal tea that may provide you with some benefits during weight loss. Like other herbal teas, hibiscus tea is very low in calories. But drinking hibiscus tea doesn’t guarantee that youll lose weight. Calorie Content If you replace soda and other high-calorie sugary beverages with hibiscus tea, you’ll boost your chance of shedding pounds. An 8-ounce portion of unsweetened hibiscus tea is calorie-free. In comparison, 8 ounces of regular cola contains 104 calories, and an 8-ounce glass of lemonade provides 99 calories. Lowering your caloric intake by just 500 calories daily helps you shed about 1 pound weekly. Satiation Benefits The reason drinking calorie-free, unsweetened hibiscus tea works for weight loss is because it helps fill you up -- without extra calories -- and makes it easier to effectively reduce your overall caloric intake. A review published in 2010 in the “Journal for Nurse Practitioners” reports that herbal teas support weight loss by increasing fluid intake, while decreasing consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, such as sodas and juices.
