Question..please answer

Hello..
I was hoping that someone would know if it would be alright to have decaf herbal teas?
specifically a vanilla nut tea, naturally flavoured.
I am desperatly trying to kick the coffee habit and would love to have a flavoured tea.
Thanks so muc, sorry if this is in the wrong place.

herbal and green tea would be okay , but make sure non of the teas are sweet. if they are check the ingrediants for any odd stuff.

vanilla is a fruit which you can't have until the third rung or something and nuts... well... thats a different rung... Just kidding... I don't know. I suspect it would be fine if its not sweetened with anything. Does green tea have caffeine? There are far too many things to learn in this world don't you think? I'm still trying to figure out how to pronounce Mahmoud Abejamadimajadinmajad which means I'm still drinking coffee... if that made any sense... which I know it didn't but I'm sure it made sense when I typed it... sigh...

Actually vanilla isn't a fruit is it? Its a pod. Pods can be vegetables or nuts or fruit or space aliens from Planet Veneska lying in wait to assimilate us so I think vanilla is most decidedly a nut... No wait... maybe pods are actually seeds... Now seeds can be nuts, fruit, vegetables... Alright. Nevermind. Vanilla is fine and I am a nut which means I can have coffee. There.

hahahaha. Way to rationalize. I just bought a thing of herbal tea for enjoying next week when I finish my induction. However, all this talk of nuts and fruits have me in a quandry.

Is vanilla flavored tea ok or not? I have no clue now.....

Re: Question..please answer

the answer will be read the ingredients list for your tea. Dr Atkins said herbal teas were fine afteryou drank your water. So it your tea doesn't have an sweetners it should be fine. Just don't wat the bag. However if drinking the tea triggers wanting high carb foods then the tea will not be legal for you.

Count your tea carbs in her carb count for the day too.

Why does this happen? I can't drink tea, because it makes me sooo hungry for carbs. I used to love green tea, but it's not worth the cravings. I even tried decaf, same deal.

Ah, I see. So it's like a feel it out kinda thing. I think I'll try a bag then after dinner then and see how it goes. The worst thing that could happen would be that I get a hunger attack, but one so close to bed wouldn't be that hard to manage. ;-)
