Dollyanna said:I'm worried I drink too much tea! I have about 4 cups a day because I love it so much. I used the milk as my HEXA (skimmed milk)
Is it ok to drink that much tea or will it damage my losses?
Thank you
Oh good! Thanks everyone, that's really helpful. I'll up my tea intake then!!

Tea is free so as long as you aren't drinking so much that you feel like a water balloon you'll be fine. I've given up caffeine for lent but before that I would drink at least 7 cups of tea a day and it has never ever affected my weight loss.
A cup of tea is 10 calories and 1lb in weight is 3500 calories so 4 cups of tea a day is not going to amount to 3500 calories a week needed to gain 1lb (if anyone was drinking 350 cups of tea a week I don't think they'd ever get off the toilet, lol).

Is that black tea or are you counting the milk?
dreamslim said:Yeah, sorry, it's 10 cals without milk. I had a brief flit with calorie counting a few years ago so looked on my tea bag box. I don't drink caffeine ATM coz of lent but normally I have loads of tea a day, I have 2 before 9.30am. Lol. It's never affected my weight loss though.
Not sure where 10 cals comes from. 1 cup of black tea with no sugar is 2 cals, so even a massive mug full wouldn't be more than 4 or 5.
Dont know where I going wrong then, as I use 250ml of semi skimmed on 3 cups of tea! But they do have 2 tea bags in each, and its stewed! lol Its quite a big cup too
