JJ Virgin discusses pu‑erh tea as a fat-loss tool alongside intermittent fasting. A 4–8 week study found people drinking it twice daily lost body fat, improved their lipid profiles, and kept their muscle mass intact.
Pu-erh is an effective adjunct to protocols today that have become more popular, like intermittent fasting, because of its ability to support fat loss while protecting our muscle mass at the same time. This is documented in a recent study featured in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging. Finding something in Pu-erh to be able to be protective and help to prevent muscle loss over time.
Here's what's cool, it's even more than that. I was blown away by this study because I've been using Pu-erh twice a day. And in just 4 weeks, the group— they had 2 groups, it was randomized control study— and the group that was using puerh lost body fat. And what happened over 8 weeks is they also dropped their lipids. It was mild, but still it happened, and they improved their cholesterol, their HDL-to-cholesterol ratio. So this is wild stuff just by adding in puerh into your daily diet.
