    You can actually find it under green tea, I personally don't count my teas as water because some of them contain caffeine depending on the type. I decided to go with tea in lieu of coffee as I am a cream and sugar lover and I figure I'm saving about 100-150 calories a day, which certainly can't hurt over the long run! Enjoy!

    it has no calories but is more dehydrating then water. I drink lots of tea and i find I'm less hungry.. but be sure to drink a lot of water too or you will get dehydrated

    I drink chai green tea and it has two calories a teabag. It really helps me when I'm craving hot chocolate. It also fills me up when I'm "bored-hungry" and not legitimately hungry. Plus it makes me feel cozy when it's cold and snowy outside! :happy:

    ITs not a magic drink. Drinking Green tea helps with many things. It may help aid in the proccess of weight loss along with other wonderful health benifits. Don't drink just for the thought process of weight loss but think of it as a add helthy benifit to your lifestyle.

    PS I love Green tea. I am drinking Mint green tea to help with my cold. Heck I can drink a pot a day by myself

    I Love Chai green tea bags too. I find also drinking a glass or two of decaffinated tea at night helps with cravings. Vanilla chai or peppermint work well

    There was an article in time magazine about a recently published study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. This one study claims that tea is better for you and more hydrating than water. Take from it what you will, I am just posting it for interest's sake!
