SO lets cover weight loss specifically: 

My friend went to brazil for two weeks and all she drank while she was over there was yerba mate tea (not trying to lose weight) she came back WAY skinnier... Probably down two pants sizes at least. I was shocked, and immediately started drinking the stuff 2-3x a day for a few months and it was definitely working... for some reason i got out of the habit, but now im back and loving it. 

"For many years now, physicians in Europe have been incorporating yerba mate in treatments for obesity. In 2000, a research team studying obesity at the Charlottenlund Medical Center in Denmark tested an herbal preparation of Yerba Mate, Guarana, and Damiana (YGD) for gastric emptying and subsequent weight loss. They concluded that the herbal preparation, YGD capsules, significantly delayed gastric emptying, reduced the time to perceived gastric fullness and induced significant weight loss over 45 days in overweight patients treated in a primary health care context. In addition, maintenance treatment given in an uncontrolled context resulted in no further weight loss, nor weight regain in the group as a whole. Guayaki recommends that the product be used as part of a program that includes a healthy diet and sufficient exercise. "
