    I used to drink hot tea all the time, then I stopped. I recently started back up and I've noticed new lows in my weight. I drink tea in the evening and I've noticed it helps curb the need for late night snacks (which is probably why I've seen some new lows lol :D )

    Hot tea does seem to help me. It gives me the feeling of having something while not actually using up any (or many) calories). Keeps me from thinking about what food to eat next!

    That would the magical warm glow of contentment that a
    proper cup of tea brings to the soul. Not Lipton tea though, that stuff is unspeakable filth.

    I drink a lot of hot tea (because I like it) and I do think it helps with my appetite. I do use milk powder and sucralose in mine, so it's not totally calorie free. But it's way lower calorie than anything else I'd eat for the same feeling of having my stomach full of something warm and delicious. I can go a long time without eating anything else on tea alone.

    I’ve done hot tea with stevia in the evenings to help me curb cravings. I don’t know the science behind the study, but for me it rings true.

    Here is a great article to parouse on this. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK236229/ I just went to a convention where one of the speakers addressed this. Hot liquids give the brain a signal that results in satiety. Hot liquids after a meal also helps digestion.

    If it works for you, do it. Sometimes, a cup of broth can kill the afternoon munchies for me, especially if I put a lot of seasoning in it like Mrs. Dash or the like. Sometimes, I even add some calories as well as flavor with pesto or parmesan.

    Absolutely works for me. That’s why I budget for 2-3 chai lattes every day.

    3gr Blue Lotus instant chai, 24gr Jordan’s sugar free salted caramel syrup, a tiny fraction of a cup of frothed skim milk, and a severe shaking of Vietnamese cinnamon on top.

    17 calories of sheer unadulterated, fragrant, spicy bliss.

    I can usually go a couple of hours afterwards without craving a snack.

    I’m a massive tea drinker and have found no difference in hot or cold teas with satiety

    I remember watching something on TV where they tested this with a bunch of soldiers. They divided them into two groups, fed them the same meal, but one group’s food was puréed and given as a soup, then set them a bunch of very physical challenges. The soup group not only Performed better but reported feeling fuller for longer than those who ate the food as meat and veggies.

    Hot coffee does, but cold coffee doesn't for me. I always have warm coffee after a meal. It helps me feel satisfied.
