They are addictive and makes you eat more. I drink black, green tea and unsweetened/ cocoa. Every once in a while ice cold flavored sparkling water nothing more.I'm sure this has been visited many times before, and hope you don't mind the post?
I am still very much struggling with everything nutritionally regarding my new found situation, but one of the only areas I'm currently comfortable with is drinks. Many years ago I gave up 'full fat' fizzy drinks in favour of diet / zero / Max varieties of drink - fully aware the sugar content was waaaaay to high for good health etc (laughable where I now find myself I know). In fact on occasion previously having no alternative but the 'full fat' versions I find them toooo sickly and prefer to go without. However since I can no longer partake of my love of Stella (which I am finding the hardest part of all in all this) I don't know why, but have re-acquainted myself with drinks I soooo loved in my childhood, Dandelion & Burdock and Cream Soda. I have found all the major supermarkets stock 'no added sugar' varieties of these, which are allllll green and seem to have no sugars, etc, etc, which I do like and now 'treat' myself to in an evening.
The question I ask is are these OK to drink? Or are there hidden 'risks' for me with these. I have heard the odd comment that they are not good. Is this yet what I thought was another acceptable part of my former life I will have to deny myself??
Thanks
