I have a little honey in my tea and did then. in fact, I think I'll be sitting down to tea in about an hour or so. factor the carbs into your daily totals.

I never did......but then again I use so much artificial sweetener that it can't be good.

I need to reduce the amounts of Splenda and such I use.

I may give small amounts of honey a try even though I know there will be more carbs involved.

I don't drink sweetener (artificial or natural) in tea. Why not try it without anything and see if you like it.

One tea that is plenty sweet without anything added is Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice. I love it and there is a Decaf version that tastes great.

You should discuss with your NUT or Dr. my program does not promote use of honey due to it being high in sugar.

I absolutely had raw honey with tea for several weeks following my surgery. RAW organic honey contains many highly nutritive properties that help heal wounds and combat infection.

Caffeine is a diuretic, so it can lead to dehydration

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
