While I lost with the permitted cheese, I found that the less cheese I had, the more quickly I lost.

Hi there, on the subject of Green Tea. Has anyone else tried Red Bush tea, it comes from South Africa and is taken as a black tea. It is caffeine free and low in tannin. I have been drinking this instead of my usual tea since being on Atkins. As far as I know it doesn't have any negative effects on the diet??? Does anyone else know???? If not, I would definately recommend it as an alternative to the normal de caff tea you can buy - it tastes lovely.

well now that this has become the tea topic LOL regular black tea has some other good for us chems as does the green stuff. One chem actually helps lower bad cholesterol but you have to have at least 4 cups a day to see any noticable effect and that is a lot of tea after your water is all drunk too.

I was told that Green tea had more caffine than regular tea. How is that helpful on Atkins? Thanks for the info in advance

Re: Accelerating Atkins or Stupid Diet Tricks...

You use "decaf" tea. But be warned "decaffeination" doesn't remove all of the caffeine, about 5-10 mg remains.

Frankly, I don't believe the green tea thing, because I think it's been as overblown as the alleged benefits of soy protein, but that's just me.....
