Snack on tea
Rather than reaching for one of those convenient but unhealthy snacks, try drinking a cup of tea while you’re making dinner or when you are craving a snack at work today. It will take your mind away from the snacks and provide some natural antioxidants.

I love tea and coffee. I work, from time to time, for a store that sells them both and I can tell you they both help curb hunger. I like so many but iced tea with sugar-free Torani (a splenda sweetened syrup) makes me feel like I’ve had a fancy coffee-house drink at a fraction of the cost.
Yes I did it yeah
I love sweet tea If I can only try it with splenda it might be better for me. But McDonalds sweet tea is the best
I had a cup of HOT blackberry tea at work today- it helped curb my craving for sugary-bad-stuff. :)
I also tried brown rice tea, which is very thick – I didn’t like it but my one friend is in love with it and it gives fiber, so she is less hungry. Kashi should make a tea!
I tried African Red Tea, from Whole Foods Market. It was awesome and had a tangy taste. It is also full of anti-oxidents.
Black and Green teas are fantastic. Use caution because many captialize on the “Craze”
dried teas from what I have learned are very beneficial, but of course I will be lazy and buy some of the bottled teas also. I enjoy going to asian markets in Houston here where nobody even speaks much english. Going off the beaten path opens up doors to cool new things/cultures foods and teas/beverages. Republic of Tea is sometimes little pricey but great ingredients and ethical company. Read the bottles carefully as some can be loaded with sugars and soidum that you may have not been aware of. I like the green and honey tea by Chin Chin.
i drink alot of white tea to being with, so i think this will be easy! and very healthy!
Tea is a good way to relax
Tea is so good! I love learning about all the different varieties at my local tea shop. It is interesting how tea leaves are processed to develop their many distinctive flavors and health benefits.
I used to do this all the time. I need to get back into the habit.
I love tea! Tea is something my family makes every single day, so when i’m craving sweets..i’ll definitely pour a cup of tea instead =)
As a child, my family would dig sassafras roots and make the most wonderful hot tea. As this isn’t an option where I now live, I found a substitute in a bottled liquid form in my local grocery store’s tea aisle. It can be added to hot or iced water. I also drink an authentic ginseng tea I found in an Asian store. To add a new twist to my teas, I add a piece of crystalized ginger root. I think it helps to try new teas to tempt the palate instead of snacks. I can do this!
I really need to get back into drinking my tea. I’ve just been on a water kick lately.
Thank heavens I love tea. It isn’t quite the satisfaction level as an oatmeal-chocolate chip cookie, but I made it through the day!
I love this. I like tea and used iced instead with splenda. It’s also great for having antioxidants and other good things for our bodies instead of sugar and flour.
I was never a tea drinker until about a year ago. Now, I have realized that it curbs my hunger. I am a stay at home mom, and snacking was getting out of control. I have found that the key for me is that it has to be WARM liquid. I am not sure what it is about the warmth, but it takes the hunger away. I admit, I still might have a cup of coffee every other day or so, but the majority of it is tea. I have lost 60 pounds and have about 13 left until my goal!
You can tell by my screen name that I do this. Green tea is the best! It definitely helps to curb my hunger.
tea is best, i recomend the choice licorice mint or ginger appircot
absolutely best snack
