I will be starting a slim-fast program tomorrow. They recommend sugar
substitute sweeteners and 2% milk. I'm fine with that. I will be having
a
shake in the morning and a meal replacement bar at lunch. A fruit snack
in
the afternoon and a sensible dinner at night.

My question is this. I love drinking tea (orange pekoe). Do you think it
would be alright if I had a small cup of tea at night with 2% milk and
sugar
sweetener substitute. I couldn't find any information on their website
concerning the drinking of tea and coffee.

Thanks in advance for the help.

As many people have already pointed out, slimfast is really not the best way
to go. It is high in sugar and low in protein - about the same as a glass
of milk. So, check out the other meal replacement options like Met-RX and
Myoplex, and Atkins has canned shakes that are very tasty, and available in
most grocery stores. They're spendy, but I like to have some on hand in
case of emergencies!

I drink my tea in the evening with 2% and splenda. I only use maybe 2-3
tablespoons of milk, I can't imagine why it wouldn't be ok. Think of the
options - cookies, junk food, etc. A nice cup of tea is just fine.
