If you like to eat artichokes dont throw away the leaves

I understand that artichokes have weight loss benefits. You have to peel away the leaves to get at the heart which is the edible part of the artichoke but you can still save the leaves. Take your left over artichoke leaves and boil them in water to make a tea. I have noticed slightly quicker losses since I started doing this. It doesn't taste the best so you might want to squeeze some lemon in their or mix it with green tea.

Interesting. How did you come across this idea and how would it help weight loss?

Apparently artichokes can help prevent water retention. I was searching up information about artichokes and after reading this article from therighttea.com I decided to give the tea a try.

Ok thanks... unfortunately, that site had way to many ads on it for me to leave the link in your post... If you want to share some of the points from the site that would be helpful.
