tea and coffee

[paula the explorer]

hello just wondered do black cups of tea and coffee contribute to water intake:sign0009::gen147:

 

[redfluffmonster]

not if they're caffinated. You should aim for 2 litres of water in addition to your tea and coffee - I've switched to decaf tea and coffee as they are less dehydrating and I sort of count them as my water if I'm low on my intake!

I always have at least 2 litres of water per day and any cups of tea are nice little extras that make me feel like I've been a good girl in regards to my water intake

today I found out that the cups at work are 0.25L and at work I have been drinking during the course of the night on average 20cups of water, not to metion the 1.5L I have before going to work.

Ok, now im confused, cos I love my black coffee and drink buckets of the stuff as well as at least 4ltrs of water. If its not decaf, is it bad for me or wot???????

 

[missyd]

no as far as i was told if you drank full caf tea or coffee before i was told to carry on drinking it just with no milk

I've been drinking at least 2 cups of caffeinated coffee a day & was told this added to the daily water intake.

The Lipotrim carrier bag states that you can continue your previous intake of coffee/tea just without milk, but also to drink at least 2 litres of water in addition to having shakes... more if using flapjacks or making mousse from the shakes.
I think you should just count actual water, surely that's better for you in the long run anyway ?
