Hello, I am back for another spin at this WOL. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is alright to drink yerba mate tea on this diet. I have been drinking it in place of cofee for a while now and I don't see how it would affect. But, then again there is a lot i don't know. Thanks, Tim

Re: Yerba Mate Tea On Atkins?
A google search found this infoThe two ingredients I have bolded are sugar, and it also contains two ingredients with names similar to caffeine, so I would say not 'atkins friendly', so better avoided especially for the first 2 weeks on induciton just to make sure you are not impeding your progress.Studies show that the Yerba Maté has the following components: water, cellulose, gums, dextrin, mucilage, glucose, pentose, fat substances, aromatic resin, legumin, albumin, xanthine, theophylline, caffearin, folic acid, caffeic acid, viridic acid, chlorophyll, cholesterin and essence oil.
You could try adding it at a later stage to see if it gives you blood sugar symptoms as described in Chapter 12.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: Yerba Mate Tea On Atkins?
My Yerba mate tea just has tea leaves listed. I suppose it depends on what kind it is.My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.
