I completely understand how stressful and overwhelming it is to try new herbs for weight loss when you are anxious about heart palpitations or side effects. Yerba mate is quite high in caffeine, so it might cause some jitteriness if you are sensitive. Start with a very weak brew to see how your body feels.

Yerba mate is a bit expensive and not easily available in local grocery stores here. Honestly, a simple workable solution is to drink normal green tea or warm lemon water, which are much cheaper and do the same job of boosting metabolism. Don't overspend on exotic teas.

Bro, I bought some yerba mate tea bags online to help with my cutting phase. It gives a massive energy kick before workouts and definitely keeps your appetite down for a few hours. It works great as a pre-workout drink, but you still have to watch your overall calories.

My clinical nutritionist explained that yerba mate contains saponins and antioxidants that can slightly increase fat oxidation during exercise. She recommended drinking one cup in the afternoon as a replacement for milk tea. However, she clearly stated that it is only a minor booster, and diet is 90% of the work.

Look, yerba mate is basically just a strong herbal tea. Drinking it all day long won't make you thin if you are still eating fried parathas. Have one cup in the morning, keep your diet clean, and go for a daily walk instead of hoping for magic.
