Is the herbal tea
decaffeinated?

Yes, it is, and it's also part of my WOE since my GP/nutritionist suggested
it for its calming effects. It's a mint and chamomile blend (and other herbs
too, I'd have to look it up, though), and I should drink it when I'm on the
verge of wanting to eat but not being really hungry.

goal 80 oz
actual 86 oz

I brought a water bottle on our canoe trip but since it started
pouring
rain about 1/4 into it, I lost my desire to drink any :P. OTOH, I was
so
dehydrated when I got home that I slugged down 2 liters in just over
an
hour.

The challenge is over for now. Please keep up the sipping - it's good
for you!

A question on water. I had always understood that you shouldn't count
soda or coffee and tea when calculating water intake because they are
diuretics. Is that not right?
Thanks
Rachael

I don't count any pop or coffee/tea. When I read Body For Life, Bill
Phillips says to compensate for caffeinated beverages with an equal
amount
of water in addition to your 8-10 glasses a day. When I was on my diet
plan
we weren't allowed to count caffeinated beverages as water intake.

Jenn

I drink only herbal tea (leaves, not bags). Can I count that in as an
"allowed fluid intake" or not?

Elly

I'd count it if it isn't caffeinated and has no sugar.
