Tea/coffee...

[lucinda1985]

normal tea and coffee dont count towards it as they contain caffine but peppermint (caffine free) do count towards your water intake. i read this on another forum a while ago from someone who rang xx

That's what I thought!!! That's great then!!! Woo hoo!!! X

 

[Deezer]

: )

 

[Trueleame]

what about green tea??? sorry to be a pain ~lol~ x x x

 

[Deezer]

OOh it has caffeine in doesn't it?? X

 

[Trueleame]

dag nam it .... yeah but stops me getting narky at peeps so will just keep the plain water option upped ~lol~ x x x

Hmmm. Simply saying that things with caffeine don't count, still doesn't make sense to me. If I had a double espresso, that doesn't count as it has caffeine. If I drink plain water afterwards, that does count. So what about if I dilute my espresso with the plain water - suddenly it doesn't count?! Once it's all in your stomach, what difference can it make?

Did they get back to you Dee? If not, I think I might phone them myself and try and pin down what they reckon the caffeine does...

 

[Deezer]

Still no reply! Didn't get chance to call today x

Usual long winded response from LT... Not!! ; )

Extra litre is fine (For half hr fast walk/run)

Tea and coffee is extra to the water and stick to your regular caffeine levels
No more than 4 litres water per day

I had to ask AGAIN... whether leaf teas are included!! Will keep you informed!! : /

I'm drinking 3.5 litres of plain water in addition to my shakes, coffee and teas plus an occasional glass of fizzy water.
I either swim for 45 mins or do my C25K work out every day so I'm OK......yes?

how rude, and to be honest, just plain dumb - what do they think happens to the liquid in your body..? it just evaporates because it came with some peppermint.... riiiiiiiiiiight.

caffeine a a diuretic, meaning it makes you pee more, so I can perhaps understand why they might tell us not to count coffee in our daily intake.

I really am frustrated by these so called lipotrim 'experts' when they don't even bother to explain WHY - I just take what they say with a pinch of salt to be honest.

I am more than positive it could be dangerous to drink too much fluid - no matter where it came from (even coffee), and it is kinda irresponsible of lipotrim to not advise us more closely on these matters.

 

[Shinypurple]

Yeah - I'm getting the impression they just read a script without understanding it all themselves.

I've drunk maybe 4 or 5 litres of plain water IN THREE MONTHS! Virtually everything I drink is in shakes, coffee/tea/infusions or fizzy water.

So how come I'm losing weight and haven't died of de-hydration yet?! :8855:

 

[Deezer]

We probably know more. Than them lol x

 

[JujuBerrrry]

What does peppermint tea actually taste like? Is it nice? I've never tried it before. And the colder the weather gets the more I want a hot meal :{ x

 

[Deezer]

Sounds obvious lol... But its just a mild mint flavour!!! Its yummy and REALLY good for your digestive systeM!! If I fancy something a bit sweeter try nettle and fennel!! X

Ahh thanks dee, I know haha it was a bit of a silly question.
Can you buy the nettle and fennel peppermint tea anywhere? x

 

[Deezer]

I love Asda'wn brand peppermint tea... And its only £1(ish) and the nettle and fennel is Twinnings!!! So most supermarkets would have it!! X
