If by Doctor you mean Physician, they don't receive enough nutritional education; to give diet advice. That's why there're Dietitians, that's the only person; whom has enough professional knowledge to do so. If I had a Physician that was fraudulent enough, to pretend to be a Dietitian; I'd fire & report them!

@clrug0912 It would just enhance the water & add calories, etc., to it but it wouldn't subtract, any of the water itself. Same thing if you made instant mashed potatoes from a box instead of tea, you'd be adding calories, etc., to the water but you could still count the water, as if you drank it plain; without anything…

Princess Diana but I always knew that she'd die young because I could never imagine her becoming elderly. Same with many others, that have died young or while they still looked younger, than their actual age.

How about some facts instead? http://www.everydayhealth.com/news/charges-filed-against-makers-nutritional-supplements/?xid=aol_eh-news_12_20151116_&aolcat=HLT

I'd count it because to me, accuracy is important & the amount of caffeine, isn't significant enough; to be a diuretic.

However she didn't mention, if her tea is caffeinated; plus it isn't significant.

Water is water, whether hot, cold, frozen, etc. Even the water in your food, can be counted.

I won't cringe when I see someone use "advise" instead of "advice". No wait it happens so often, that I consider cringing via this; to be an exercise. That's a positive thing, so why would I resolve; not to exercise? Okay I won't consider the cringing I do, from those that use "dose" instead of "does" exercise because that…

That's why, Copy & Paste're, our friends!

I even take my glasses off, which means I have to do it twice; to ensure that I saw the reading right & if I was ever lucky enough to (cough/sigh), get married; the wedding ring'd also come off.

Love: My own version of Atkins Chicken Margarita! Hate: Cilantro!

When I think of stones, I think of pebbles. 14 pounds isn't a pebble; it's a boulder (to me)!

This depends upon how many pages, a thread is. I typically just comment, if I have less than 5 pages to read & try to avoid commenting in threads, that're over 3 months old because many of the people, might not even be here anymore but I just recently commented in the "MFP Forum Feedback" thread & that was over 40 pages,…

@HonuNui do you mean me? If so, I also; over use exclamation points, combine words (they'd instead of they would) & create paragraphs worth, of run on sentences!

I have a Total Gym Fit & it's killing me. I can't do arm and/or ab exercises, for more than 15 minutes & leg exercises, for more than a half hour & I am only on level 1 of 12 but I wouldn't go beyond level 6. I planned to go up to level 2 for my arms, level 4 for my abs & level 6 for my legs but that doesn't seem doable.…

If your children are already supported by you & his by him, without you even knowing; that each other exists. How would your children and/or his, have less? I'd say that they'd have more because, they'd each have an extra adult; to turn to.

I actually really enjoy the taste of chain restaurant food, even $1.00 menu items; I just dislike the high amounts of calories, etc.

Unless I was in a hurry, I would've totally approached her & offered to help. I just can't mind my own business, if I believe that I can; help someone.

You can get these types of foods, then portion them yourself; to fit into your calorie goals. Just like if you don't buy a single serving box of cereal, that doesn't mean that you have to eat an entire multi serving box; as 1 serving.

That also depends upon, what 1 considers a serving of food to be as well. For me 1/4 carton of ice cream, is what I once; considered to be a serving because that amount, is what then satisfied me.

Which is why I don't demonize chain establishments. While I disagree with the high amounts, per serving; it's better than not knowing because at least I can divide the serving, into my caloric allotment; per portion & still have the accuracy of knowing; it's caloric value.

Why do you disagree?

A Dietitian told me, that at least 130 grams of Carbohydrates (not sugar); is a requirement for brain function.

Unfortunately for me, those that irate me; give great advice. So I won't, ignore them. The problem, is in how they; convey it. They're very arrogant!

That's possibly why, there're so many lifetime members because their using MFP, to lose the weight & then get their meetings free; at WW.

Great idea!

I agree!

I think that I should just copy & paste all of my comments, to these threads; in a document. So that I don't have to retype, the same response endlessly; in more of these threads later. That could make me, "rage quit"!

I'd take the offer because I believe that having access to something, is better; than nothing.

You don't get to decide, whom posts; on a public thread & how is someone, trying to save your life; being negative?
