I am on low carb diet and I drink lots of green tea (sometimes black)
Both are very helpful healthwise regarding blood pressure, chollestrol,
cancer prevention, ..etc. Here is a link in that details the great
benefits of tea despite the caffine contents:

http://green-tea-benefit.com/

Atkins.com claims caffine can make you crave sugar because it
drops your blood sugar level. So they recommend avoiding it.

I havn't had any problems intaking 5 cups of green tea daily (2 with
my breakfast).

I'd avoid coffee.

Caffeine has been very helpful in my weight loss. I'll usually go to
Starbucks and get a four-shot venti iced breve latte after lunch. The
caffeine will pretty much keep me satiated for the rest of the day. Come
time for dinner, I'm not REAL hungry, so I'll eat a small portion and be
fine.

The drink itself has 15 net grams of carbs (breve means half&half), and

I'll
usually have another 20-30 grams per day in food.

So the question is, is there anything wrong with that? Other than I might
get addicted to caffeine?

I lost 130 lbs on LC while drinking a big 20 oz every morning.....Not that
drinking green tea isn't a good idea, mind you....I'm just sayin...Also, I
don't think drinking coffee had anything to do with appetite suppression for
me.

just out of curiousity, why not? Caffeine is a known appetite
suppresant... Perhaps it's more so in certain people, but as soon as that
caffeine hits my bloodstream, I am completely satiated.

I'm not. If anything, coffee can upset my stomach, if I have too much,
and cause me to eat.

Mainly because I was drinking coffee well before I started LCing....no
appetite suppression then. However, once I started LCing, major appetite
suppression.

So to those drinking green tea on Atkins - does it help boost your weight loss?

I'm considering drinking it... how does this sound: 8 glasses of water a day
(to flush out the fat), and 1 cup of green tea each day?

Also, do you drink it as is, or add some Splenda? If so, how much?
