Question

i used to drink coke like crazy.then with the lowcarb diet,moved to water.water is good,but these days tea just feels more delicious!
bad or good?

Answer 1

its good, green tea is even better because it speeds up your metabolism too!

Answer 2

I used tea w/splenda as my transition from Diet Coke addiction to drinking water. Now I have learned that there are a lot of bad things about sweeteners (like one of the previous answerers said) .. Diet Coke is not a good thing to drink, just because it doesn't have sugar doesn't mean it is devoid of all the nasty chemicals that wreak havoc on your body after the years. I drink Diet Lipton Green Tea w/mixed berry or citrus or water, and that's pretty much it. Good luck!

Answer 3

Don't use a sweetner unless it's natural like sugar or honey. A slice of lemon is nice with hot or cold tea. Stay away from diet drinks that contain phenylalanines. They are in alot of stuff. Particularly in diet and sugarfree foods. Lipton has a powdered version (flavored) of tea that you can add to water. It comes in single serve size (a box of ten packets) for about $3.00. They're real good. Stick with the water.

Answer 4

Tea is not bad as long as you don't overdue it.
Green tea is better for you. Diet coke is a taste you have to acquire but it's not that bad after a few cans.
I went on a low carb diet myself.

You can also have coffee and CREAM (no milk)
If you want to get rid of the sweetener try lemon in the tea.
Good luck and happy dieting

Answer 5

Stay away from artificial sweetners. They are bad for you. When I found out I had diabetes I went to all these lectures given by doctors to learn about the disease. One was about the blue and pink stuff and whatever other color there is. The lectures tell you all the bad stuff and this doctor talked about how the stuff in the sweetners congeals with undigest food particles and can cause hugh balls of junk that can't pass out of your body. You need the water. Wean yourself away from the sweet stuff. . .

Answer 6

It's good, but try using honey instead. It's not that the sweetener is bad, it's just that there are way more benefits in honey.

Answer 7

Better than soft drinks, not as good as water.
