Can any one tell me if I can have hot tea and coffee with no milk or sugar ?
Thanks

Yes you can - and my counsellor also says fruit teas "in moderation". Teas like peppermint, fennel etc are ok to drink as much as you like.
Day 1 for you today isn't it? - good luck!

I was told to exclude caffeine completely for the first week as it can prevent or slow down ketosis. After the first week she said have caffeine in very very strict moderation as the dehydrating effect means you need to drink even more water.

I was a very very very heavy strong black coffee drinker. I have given it up completely and after the first 5 days of withdrawal headaches I can honestly say I don't miss it at all. I now drink lots of Carte Noire decaff which tastes surprisingly good and counts towards your daily water intake.
