From week 3 you can buy water flavourings from your CDC. Black tea / coffee is allowed but should not be included in your 4pts water per day.
No sugar free squash or diet drinks allowed (although some drink Coke Zero - but officially it's not allowed).
My CDC told me that you can count black tea and coffee as part of your 4 pints of water per day.
I'm one of those bad people who stray slightly from the official rules.
I drink the Perfectly Clear Red Apple and Perfectly Clear Strawberry and Kiwi. They both have malic acid instead of the citric acid, so no problem with them interfering with ketosis and sugar free.
Peppermint tea is also good!! counts towards your water as well since there is no caffine in it
I would say though, in regard to the extras I take...that is just me and it's not officially allowed.
