Arizona Diet Iced Tea

[malleree]

I absolutely love Diet Arizona Iced Tea. However, I am having a difficult time believing that it has no calories, nor carbs because it says it has a little honey in it. Does anyone have any info on this product. Would it be a deterrent to the Atkins diet?

"0 Carbs" on a nutrition label means "anything less than 0.5g carbs". So it's best to treat it as 0.5g carbs. Also, what's the "serving size"? If there are 3 or 4 servings in one of those big bottles, that's 1.5g or 2g of carbs right there.

Also remember that Iced Tea has caffeine in it, which is a no-no, especially for induction.

Drink the decaf version...not sure if its Arizona or not, but it has the same stats. I also "cut" it by using 1/2 water...otherwise it's too sweet. How times have changed.

Doesn't this drink have aspartamene in it? I'm on induction and have been trained to avoid aspartamene at all costs. Am I being too anal about this?

On Atkins for 5 weeks, lost about 25 pounds. Will aspartamene slow me down? I do work out 3 times per week for an hour (cross-training).

The one I buy is sweetened with splenda. I love it! I have used it to replace my coffee in the morning. I do limit my self to two cups a day though.

I drink that tea! It is green tea with honey and gensing. It causes my acid reflux to act up. So even though it's good, I can't drink it.

I absolutely love that stuff! The green tea version is what I drink. I'm back on the 2 week induction and i've been hearing that I shouldn't drink any caffine so i'm dying to lay into the massive jug sitting under my sink!
