green tea?

[fayefaye4000]

What's your position on green teaduring induction as long as I count the carbs? I don't use any sweetener, and I don't find it causes hunger cravings, but I want to be sure I amnot sabotaging my progress. I switched to green tea from coffee, because I know coffee is not allowed.

What have your experiences been with green tea/coffee?

I take green tea extract regularly because it increases metabolism 2-3% even when I am resting. I did all throughout Induction and it seemed fine - ketosis etc was uneffected. Except for the taste... not so great.

Decaf is okay to drink.

It also doesn't not count towards your minumum 64 ounces of water daily.

Re: green tea?

Hmmm...I just looked at the box, and it doesn't indicate that it is decaf. Do I need to avoid caffeine even in small amounts? I just checked, and there 15mg. of caffeine in green tea, which is must better than the 135mg. of caffeine in my regular coffee. Decaf coffee has 5mg of caffeine.

Please tell me what you think

Re: green tea?

I am so annoyed at this, on the green tea packaging that I buy there is no indication of it containing caffeine and I thought I had given up caffeine months ago even before I started this diet
