Sarabeth5 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I love love love herbal tea and was in Teavana buying some of my favorite flavors (on sale! YAY!!) and looked at the ingredients. Candied fruit was in both. Candied as in "candied mango (mango, sugar)". Then in another there was rice starch. Are these teas out for Whole30?

Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2014 They are OUT. You may love them, but they do not love you. We want you to experience life with no added sugar for 30 days. You may be surprised how different you feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarabeth5 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks Tom. I had a feeling they were out but was hopeful. They'll keep until September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Sarabeth, while these teas are out during the W30, the sugar and rice starch aren't enough that you have to keep them out forever. You may decide to do that, because there are plenty of loose leaf teas that ARE squeaky clean, but if teavana teas are the worst thing in your diet, you're doing pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoDetermined Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 So we are allowed normal tea? I've been scrolling through the forum trying to find a post about just regular breakfast tea but haven't managed to find anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 So we are allowed normal tea? yup, so long as the ingredients do not include sugar or soy (or anything else off-plan), and you don't add any off-plan things to your tea (sugar, honey, cows milk, etc.), tea is allowed on the whole30.

Sleeve Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Is it correct to include unsweetened cold black tea when tallying daily water intake? It is diuretic, but part of the idea of drinking water as a transport includes carrying junk out of us, right? I've read MD statements that even the water in what we eat counts. Also that coffee is enough of a diuretic that it removes more water than it adds. So at a third or less of the caffeine of coffee, I wonder about tea and hydration recommendations. I barely tolerate ion-exchanged (potassium chloride replacing calcium and magnesium) tap water, refuse to give Nestle, Pepsi or Coke a dime, and don't drink out of disposables that contain styrene, toluene, and bisphenol-A. When I learned that recycling centers eyeball the rough percentage of valid recyclable materials at the container level and ditch the whole truckload into landfill when too many people think that plastic grocery bags and food stained takeout containers are recyclable, I go for reduce over recyclable water bottles. Plus paying four times as much per gallon as gasoline for filtered tap water... OK, I'll stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sure. Count your tea We're not super picky about this - drink when you're thirsty, and aim for half your body weight in oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
