Does yerba mate help with weight loss?

I'm actively trying to make healthier lifestyle choices to manage my weight better. Someone at my yoga class recommended drinking yerba mate tea. I want to know if yerba mate really helps with weight loss, or if it's just a general health drink.

It can help by giving you a clean caffeine energy boost for your workouts and slightly suppressing hunger. But remember, weight loss is 80% about your daily calorie deficit and consistent training.

Yes, it has caffeine which helps speed up metabolism and controls cravings. It's a good addition to a healthy lifestyle.

My grandmother always suggests drinking warm cumin water for weight issues, which is also very good. But my doctor said yerba mate is fine too, as long as it doesn't replace regular balanced meals.

I substituted my sugary morning coffee with yerba mate during my fitness journey. It helped me cut down on liquid calories and kept me energetic throughout the day, losing 4 kgs over two months.
