    Decaf Green Tea
    Fennel Tea
    Nettle Tea
    Peppermint Tea

    The ones i use have 0.3 carbs per tea bag (Twinngs)

    Have a look around at what you fancy. I use Fennel to help with water retention and Nettle as a mini detox in the morning! There are lots out there

      I make a tea specifically for people on diets. Its an all natural herbal tea. Green tea with ginger, cinnamon, hibiscus, and damiana leaf.

      Nettle and Fennel are both very good, like Pretty Polly says. I like the Damiana because it helps keep blood sugar levels steady, which is what we're trying for on the Atkins diet.

      Overall tea doesn't have a lot of carbs, so unless they have bits of chocolate or are pre-sweetened as many processed berry teas are, they should be ok. I personally try to drink 3-4 cups a day.

        Many are also fruit teas. I would guess we stay away from those. I was looking at Camomile's ..thanks for the suggestions, I'll be sure to pick some of them up!
