Tea =liquid?

[Catlouise83]

FOr those of u who drink tea do u count it towards ur daily 2-4litres of water ?

I probably manage 1litre water per day and maybe 2-3litres of tea, is this ok do u think?

On days I'm at work I drink 4-5 litres of water - but I only work 2 days a week lol

hi ya i count my coffee intake as liquid - i will do a litre of coffee plus in the mornings everyday, but i wont touch it after 12 pm - i then make sure i get 2.5litres of pure water inside me as an absolute minimum for the rest of the day
hope that helps

I don't think you're supposed room count tea/coffee as part of your water intake because it dehydrates you. Even if you're having other drinks I think you're still supposed to have the minimum 2.25litres a day.

Hiya,

I asked my CDC about this as I drink a lot of green tea and it all counts towards your intake.

I split it down in the day so I have 750ml water and a tea then 750 ml / tea etc.. until I have hit 3litres for the day.

Hi

I always drink one 2 litre bottle of water, then I know by the time I've had my green tea plus any other tea/coffee I'm well on my way :0))

My CDC has recommended drinking your water and inclduing tea/ coffee etc as a bonus amount. Its a struggle though sometimes. x

That was really helpful,

Was not sure if green tea was allowed.

Love my green tea

I have a 2.25 litre bottle at work and I drink that so I know Im ok with my water intake, apart from teas etc, then at home I probably have another 1-2 litres.

Im never out of the loo!

Are you on SS? This is day 9 for me. On Sunday I tried to go for a walk but my legs were like lead! You must be burning off loads of calories.

Peppermint tea is nice too!

My cdc has told me that it does not count towards ur water intake because tea n coffee dehyrdate your body. Its interesting that this contradicts what other cdcs hav said :S

 

[Daisy65]

The cd book which I was given includes tea and coffee as part of the water quota.

 

[DollyGirl92]

The book seems to include it, and I can't see a reason why it wouldn't as tea hydrated just as well as water does, it dehydrating you in a myth!

 

[MrsFatBum]

Really. Oh thats great! Im glad coz i cant deal with water anymore!! Gonna hav words with cdc
