Is it okay to use milk in tea if I count the calories?

Hi Swan

In the FAQs on this site it says:

“You can drink anything that has no calories/low calories. This includes coffee and tea. Adding milk is fine as it is rich in protein and relatively low in carbohydrates. But it also contains calories.”

The book says to use just a splash of milk so maybe there’s been a bit of a mind-change. In any case I’m drinking milk in my tea (about 150 ml a day) and counting the calories as part of the 800. So far I’ve lost 4.2 kilos in 14 days so will keep doing so unless the weight-loss stalls.

Hi Cazzowary,
Thanks for the response.
Fabulous weight loss, congratulations!
and great to hear you are managing without giving up milk in tea.
I am on day one today and have counted milk but glad to hear it won’t affect losses if counted.

Thank you! I’m sure you’ll make excellent progress too 🙂

Good luck with the plan- I found a cup of hot milky tea helped keep the hunger pangs at bay in the first few days (ps the hunger pangs mostly go away after the first couple of days- I guess that must be when the burning fat kicks in!)

I drink herbal tea whenever I feel hungry. I also drink it at night instead of wine and nibbles in front of the tv.
