Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Just to note, as I regularly see people going <UGH!> about green tea.
Not all green teas are the same.
When I am going to be around the house for a while I make a pot of green tea using loose leaf tea - currently using Clipper green tea leaves and a funky glass Bodum tea pot.
When I only have time for one cup, I use a tea bag. My favourite is (again) Clipper which is O.K. but not nearly as nice as the loose leaf tea.
Ran out of tea bags and bought a box of Lord Nelson tea bags from Lidl.
I don't think these are very nice - they certainly have very little flavour - so I wouldn't blame anyone for trying these and then deciding that green tea was the work of the devil :twisted: .
In all cases I add some lemon juice to the tea which IMHO transforms it.
So I would recommend that those trying green tea make sure that they have tried a reliable brand, and if possible have tried a loose leaf tea instead of a tea bag, and try it with some squirty (or real) lemon.
Cheers
