Hi, this is my first post and I just want to know if drinking a detox tea while on a cut would be ideal for fat loss or if it would just aid in breaking down muscle, even while lifting heavy and eating enough protein and fat with a reduced caloric intake. I'm not talking about doing a detox diet, but just wondering if drinking the tea while on a cutting plan would be a good idea. A little about myself, I've been lifting for 2.5 years now seriously and used to be 185 with about 15-17% bf but gained about 50 lbs in that period while on a bulk, while i ended up gaining quite a bit of muscle I think I put on alot of fat as well. Up until now I've been unsuccessful at losing the weight, even with reduced calories, but since I've started drinking the tea along with reducing my calories my weights started falling alot faster and i've lost 5-7 lbs in the two weeks ive began drinking the tea. This is on top of the other 5 lbs i lost last month when i began my cut. My strength remains the same as well. So I just want to know should i keep drinking the detox tea while cutting and lifting heavy, or will it cause my body to start burning muscle eventually. I weighed about 240 lbs at 5'11 at the beginning of april, and now weight about 228-230 in the mornings before breakfast.
For what its worth here is my diet:
morning: two slices of whole wheat bread with a tbsp of almond butter, a glass of skim milk and three whole eggs
mid morning snack: 1/4 cup of walnuts, and a piece of fruit with 1.5 scoop of whey OR 6 oz of tuna and veggies
lunch: 6 oz of chicken with two tbsp of omega oil and broccoli OR 6 oz of pink salmon with a tbsp of omega oil and broccoli
next meal: 6 oz of ground beef with a 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and one medium potatoe
workout
post workout- 2 scoops of whey
post workout meal- 6 oz of steak with a 1/4 cup of brown rice and broccoli OR 1.5 cup of cottage cheese with a cup of berries
im aiming for 2500 calories, I feel this is good for me since i have a naturally slow metabolism
