Victoria Beckham's slimming secret
"Victoria Beckham’s slimming secret was recently revealed by the media.
Apparently, her latest secret weapon to keep trim is a fat busting tea loved by the Spanish A-List. Posh Spice buys Pu-erh Imperial tea from the Bormec store in Madrid and drinks it when she wants to drop a few pounds or maintain her current slim build.
According to a spokesman at the store quoted by Now magazine, they advised Victoria “to drink Pu-erh three times a day for three months and watch the weight drop off. After three months, it is possible to maintain the desired weight by drinking one cup per day.”
The store have also confirmed that the Beckhams have been customers for several months and are also fans of another tea called Tokyo T, which purifies the complexion and helps prove circulation and water retention."

This is what I got from a website:
Special reserve aged black tea. From China's Yunnan Province. Pu-erh tea is in a class by itself. Full-bodied, with a woody, earthy flavor, prized for having the greatest health benefits of all teas.
3 oz of this stuff ranges from 27-30 dollars.

Good job Morrisonlover!

I think it's drinking tea and NOT EATING! Like just drinking a tea will wipe away the pounds. More like starving yourself wipes away the pounds!

Pu-erh tea is a Chinese aged tea whose production process is usually kept secret. It can be purchased from any decent online tea vendor, and is often referred to as "diet tea" by the Chinese and Japanese. It's known for its detox properties, and it does seem to have somewhat of an, um, cleansing effect on me. If you'd like to read more, you can go to www.pu-erh.net.
Only a reduction in calories, along with increased activity will help you lose weight. I believe that pu-erh is healthy, however, and tastes really good too (although, I'd describe it as more of an acquired taste).

Pu-ehr is probably the sound Victoria makes as she receives her perpetual tea enema.

I don't understand why she would even WANT to be slim; it doesn't suit her at all, and makes her look 20 years older than she is. In fact, this whole thing with women wanting to be stick thin - even if it makes them look sickly, older, bony, whatever - mystifies me. (For the record, I'm a gay man.)

I think she forgot to mention that she JUST drinks the tea all day.
