My first step in my healthier lifestyle was to cut my coffee/tea intake to 2 cups per day and to cut the sugar in each cup by half. I have stuck with this self-imposed "rule" for over a month, but as cooler weather has come in I have been craving hot tea in the later afternoon. Since I am under the recommended maximum daily caffeine intake, I may just give in to that craving ever so often.
I love the herbal teas from Celestial Seasonings and cold/tepid white tea. Never have been a fan of green tea.
It's nice to know I can occasionally indulge in an extra cup or two of tea in addition to my morning coffee and not affect my health goals. - 11/1/2012 11:56:21 PM

For me I cannot give up my flavored cream but can now do without the sugar with my coffee so I have only one cup of coffee - if that and then drink green tea the balance of the time. - 11/1/2012 12:56:43 PM
