Im trying to ween (sp?) myself off of the bad foods so that I can work on losing a few pounds before the first fitting. My question is, how bad can one cup of tea be every morning? I just think of the sugar (which I cut back on) but I feel like I need something warm in the cold morning to get me going.

I think in WW one cup of tea w/1 teaspoon of sugar is zero pts!!
ETA: but if you add milk I think it's like a point!!
Not bad at all!

tea is good for you...lots of antioxidants and some studies show that tea helps to lose weight.

i think you are fine drinking tea! maybe switch to a decaf brand, and use equal or splenda?? Green tea is really good for you, and IMO tastes great!!

Definitely don't cut out that 1 cup of tea. One teaspoon of sugar isn't going to kill your diet.

I don't think it's bad at all. Just cut back on the sugar like you said you are doing. It's too good to skip! Enjoy!

Try green tea, you really don't need to add anything to it.

After living in Ireland during my studies, drinking tea became second nature to me and there are so many varities to choose from. IMO, I would start off with celestial seasonings, not tetley. If you want better tea than that, try earl gray. Green tea is good as well for your immune system!

Tea is good for you and it may even help you to shed off a few pounds before your fitting because it helps to curb your appetite. Drink up!

I have a ton of awesome teas that have so much flavor, you don't need sugar at all...
FYI - anyone ever hear of agave nectar? It's a natural sweetener from a cactus plant - low GI - which is good for diabetics, and therefore good for low carb/atkins dieters, so I hear - if you are interested, I can pass along a link to you guys - just a tiny bit will sweeten your tea, and it's not as bad for you as sugar or even honey...

Tea is not bad for you. Maybe do a green tea or if you don't like gree tea, do a decaffinated tea. Try to use a sugar substitute.
