Default Slim Fast question on tea and coffee???

The tea shouldn't be a problem, but I would SERIOUSLY question the use
of slimfast.

You'd get the same results if you combined a glass of milk, chocolate
syrup and a vitamin, for a hell of alot cheaper and less sugar.

Its ironic how they promote using a sugar substitute the rest of the
day, yet their products are so loaded with sugar to begin with.

You really are doing your body an injustice by going the "slimfast"
route. If you are into this meal replacement, please look into the
following:

1. Myoplex
2. Advantage Shakes
3. Medifast/HMR or other medically supervised meal replacements.

You need to learn how to eat right for your body - not just replace
food with shakes until you lose weight - because if you do that you
are bound to just regain the weight when you go back to eating. You
need a program that teaches you how to eat to maintain your weight
loss when you have lost the weight. Slimfast does NOT do this.
Slimfast is junk. Its overpriced chocolate milk w/ vitamins.

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.
