I have found that I'm drinking a lot of caffeine free hot teas. Green Tea mostly, seems to kick a snack craving and it's warm, and it's cold here. I've started to try the fruity ones for a sweet craving. Is there a too much with herbal tea? I don't add anything to it.

    you're basically drinking water infused with herbs. the hunger supressive characteristics of the tea is due to cholinomimetics, which is a chemical that resides in green tea's and roasted coffee beans. the caffeine itself is not the hunger suppressant as people get confused. As long as you stay hydrated through the day, you're fine.

    I dont know for sure but it seems like it would be ok. I like hot water with lemon and hot water with cinnamon... lemon tea and cinnamon tea i guess? :P Especially if its caffeine free - doesn't seem like an issue. What kind of fruity tea are you drinking? I like tea!

    There's nothing wrong with drinking a bunch of tea. As long as you dont add sugar or milk, etc. It's a good way to drink more water. Keep it up :)

    I drink a lot of herbal teas and rooibos. Haven't seen any bad side effects and there does seem to be some effective of curbing my desire for sweets.

    gotta Celestial(spelling?)sample pack at Walmart, tried the raesberry..taste like a hot wine cooler with no fizz, i'd skip that one, the Black cherry is really smooth and nice, haven't moved passed that one yet
