anyone like chai?

I just started Thursday. I have been dieting since August on xenical. So far I have lost 50lbs but in January I ended up in a and e with gall stones. I'm waiting for surgery (my Dr. Said I was ok for TS) and have been having a lot of issues with what I can eat. So we decided this may be the solution as I get all my needs with having a ton of pain.

Anyway I tried doing a chai latte today with the vanilla shake, hot chai tea and splenda tablets. Turned out really nice it. I've only used a third of the packet so I can have 3 today. I'm pretty sure chai is ok ts but I have a niggle in the back of my mind. It's only black tea with spices. No flowers or fruit. Is it ok?

Depends on the particular brand of chai as they use different spices and some are sweetened - check the nutritional info on the packet, and be sure to account for the carbs in every cup.

I am sure its not sweetened. It's just tea bags. The twilings website says that there is black tea, ginger, cinnamon, and natural flavorings. There no how much per cup.

Just for an update chai tea bags seems to be fine. It's all black tea and spices. It's really nice.
