I just read somewhere - and for the life of me I can not remember where (maybe here somewhere on SP) that coffee USED to be a no - no when dieting and that they thought it had a dehydration effect rather than a hydrating effect - but recent studies do not show that and the article (wherever I read it - I am getting sooo old - no memory) said it was fine to have a few cups of coffee or tea during the day and that they could be counted towards your 8 for the day !

I count tea as water but if you add sugar or honey to it then I wouldn't count it. I use Splenda, no calories, so I still count it as water. To answer the previous post, I wouldn't count milk as water, it is a protein, not a water.

I count it as water... but If you are counting as water make sure you drink a little extra because tea and coffee can dehydrate you.

Herbal teas could count towards your water intake. Any teas, coffee, or other beverages with a high water content that also have caffeine can cause you to lose some water, so I wouldn't count them and would actually add some extra to counter the dehydrating effects of the caffeine. Be careful of any additives you put in your tea!

You have to learn to live with what you can't rise above.

I count tea (both black and herbal) as water, because I have a hard time getting enough fluids in the winter without it.

My opinion is that teas and coffees have both a diuretic effect in our organism and therefore in order avoid dehydration when i drink tea/cofee i add some more water.

If you drink tea with caffenine, it cancels out two glasses of regular water. Better to go with just water.

Well, this is news to me! I thought regular unsweet tea couldn't be counted as water because I beleived the cafeine actually worked as a diuretic robbing the body of liquid.

I sure am gonna start counting it, though. I drink at least 4 glasses of it a day!

I'll count up to half my water intake from non- sweetened, decaf drinks such as herbal teas, crystal light, and flavoured water. By doing this I easily get at least 10 8oz. glasses a day.

Yes, it can and does count as water. Juice counts also, but you regular water should make up the bulk of water intake. I read that somewhere recently.

I do count mine as water, cause that's what I make it with-lots of water :)

I know some disagree, but I also don't go along with the 'gotta have so many glasses per day' Sure your body needs to replace fluids lost through exercise, etc. but, it's designed to let you know you need it.
So, if I am thirsty, I drink, and now, I am learning to eat only when I am physically hungry (which is really harder to listen to my body on that one!)

Good Earth Original Sweet & Spicy Herbal Tea has a blend of ingredients that make it naturally sweet. If you like the taste of cinnamon, you will most likely find it a pleasure to drink.

As long as it is decaffeinated, it counts. Anything added to it would increase your caloric intake, so if you use sugar, watch it or use a sugar substitute. My health coach said to add a little juice to your water if it helps to drink it. Again, you would need to count the calories in the juice. Have you ever tried True Lemon and True Lime? It comes in little packets like Splenda. Taste just like the real McCoy.

I count it as water - I drink LOTS of unsweetened/unflavored decaf iced tea just about every day. SOOOOO refreshing!

I drink decaf green tea with no sugar or other additives. I count it as water.

Like everyone else says, I think that it does count, but sure that the tea you're using doesn't have any calories and if you add creamers and stuff, not so sure that it counts.

thanks, I think I will count it as water then and not put any extra calories to it. I will still start my day drinking water, if I don't do that I will not drink any water.

I count tea as water, but I don't put any milk or sugar in it. Some people do not count it because of the caffeine.

Only water is water,
but tea can count towards your fluid intake, unless you add a bunch of calories to it.

“We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.”

Soft-Serve Banana "Ice Cream"
Submitted By: SP_STEPF

Frozen bananas rival soft serve when given a whirl in the food processor. Trust me, it's AMAZING: no fat, no cholesterol, no added sugar, just creamy and sweet bananas!
My brother and boyfriend loved this treat! I found this recipe on a raw foods website and modified it slightly. I topped mine with a tablespoon of pure maple syrup mixed with 2 t dark cocoa powder. Full Recipe
