  • Am I allowed to have tea?

    It's the only thing that will probably keep me going during the day. I don't add sugar or anything like that to it, I just drink it straight. It's been a while since I have done this WOL and I was just wondering. Thanks for the help.

    Welcome back!

    You may have tea--decaffienated and doesn't contain fruit sugars, sugar, or grains/grain sugars.

    Re-read your Atkins because I've seen alot od second timers screw up because their memory isn't exact. And I don't want it to happen to you.

      * Caffeine can cause cravings or blood sugar spikes with some people. If you’re one of them, you should drink only decaffeinated beverages. If you don’t have a problem with caffeine, you may drink one or two caffeinated beverages a day, because evolving research indicates there may actually be health benefits to a limited amount of caffeine. However, if you have a true caffeine addiction, it will be best to break it during Induction, because any food addiction can cause problems if it isn’t taken care of. Once you’ve broken the addiction and moved on to OWL, you can carefully try adding caffeinated beverages back into your food intake, as long as it doesn’t trigger the addiction again.

          I was reading Atkins(2002) last night and I ran across a part where he talked about the benefits of tea and weight loss as the two have a strong correlation. Of course this was decaf tea, but still interesting.
