Hi, susiek71. IMO is excellent.

How about IMO? You use such a tiny bit of it and it is great for sweetening tea. A couple little squirts is all it takes.

Hi, allhughes. For the most part you are right, though there are a few that have been linked to problems – but these are “medicinal” types or those that boast an energizing effect. If you can, try to go for organic types, and if you use bagged tea, use only the paper type and rinse them in cool water before use to get rid of the chemical coating.

I would think green tea varieties would be best but most teas are harmless to an extent…true?

Hi, LadySings. The regular tea is fine, though be sure to count each 15 grams of carbohydrates as a carb exchange, or each 30 grams as a sweet exchange. We would not recommend the diet version, as it incorporates artificial sweeteners that could work against your efforts.

Is Arizona tea alright to drink?

Hi, mtmaddox, and welcome. Yes, you can eat canned vegetables, though we do suggest products with minimal (if any) salt added.

Hi, Joyce, and welcome! Assuming you don’t have any conditions that require fluid restrictions or extra fluids, and considering conditions of normal temperature and activity, you need about 2 quarts/liters per day, or about 9 8-oz/226-ml glasses per day. If you work up a sweat, you’ll need one or two more glasses.

How much water should I drink.

Hi, ewyoung. We don’t generally recommend Crystal Light, as it contains artificial sweeteners. You can make your own version by mixing fresh-squeezed lemon juice with a better sweetener (see our recommendations here https://www.trimdownclub.com/the-best-way-to-sweeten-your-tea-2) and regular or carbonated water.

Other free beverages: steeped water and soda water, clear beverages sweetened with Stevia.

What other drinks are free?

Hi, Jennifer. Tea and coffee are great. They are “free,” and so not included in the Menu Planner.
