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.

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. -

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!

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 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!

What a great idea! I don’t know why I never thought of it! I am a stay at home mom of a 5 month old….and I seem to be “grazing” more than ever just out of sheer bordom when he is napping! Vanilla tea is so fabulous!!!

Stay-at-home-mom with two toddlers. I have to stop mindlessly snacking. It is going to be tough to break old habits. I am going to do this! I have about 10 boxes of tea (always had good intentions). Now I will start drinking them!

I love the Lipton Pyramid Tea. I went through 3 boxes in about one month!
Every morning, while everyone else at the office gets coffee (with cream and sugar), I use the coffee maker’s spigot to brew delicious tea.
Actually, I tried to drink a Coke a couple of days ago (I gave up soft drinks over a year ago) and it was terrible! I’m so glad that I made that choice.

I did it! I made about 5 dozen cookies for gifts this afternoon, but only had one (didn’t even lick the spatula—cross my heart!). My solution was to drink a pot of Bourban Street Vanilla Rooibas tea—incredibly healthy and caffeen-free. My highest reccommendations for it.
