Diet Tea - Anyone else drink this stuff obsessively?

[Bouncer]

One of those little "bodybuilding tricks" that helps me to keep from cheating on my diet or craving something sweet.

Whether it's lemon, raspberry, or peach, I drink this stuff all day now that it's hot out. Anyone else addicted to this stuff?

[AvidFisherman]

If I have to have something sweet I'll drink a diet Mt. Dew.

[rado]

If I drink tea, I make mine. Just buy a few boxes of any good tea, similar to those. But definitely a good way to mix things up a bit.

[ArnoldGate]

Actually, I afraid to drink this tea.
I prefer to buy boiled tea

I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners. When I want something sweet I pour a little pure maple syrup in with some almond milk. Tastes like you're eating a bowl of ice cream. Or I make lemonade with raw honey. The lemonade is so good but takes a few minutes to make. I used to drink the hell out of crystal lite but not anymore.

Agreed, I recently dropped artificial sweeteners, I was a junky, lol
I dropped a ton of fat, feel better etc...
Straight ice water for me now, no crazy cravings etc...

Artificial sweeteners have always been a staple for me to keep me from cheating on diet. I've been as low as 7% bf on gallons of that shit a day. I really don't buy into the whole "artificial sweeteners" make you fat bs.

If you are strict with your diet and you have the will power to be consistent, you will be shredded regardless of artificial sweeteners. Let's stop the hocus pocus.

You're better off eating granola...no seriously, why don't you just make your own tea...Arizona garbage, Palmer ??? Not trying to be an ass but just wondering about your logic. Drinking this IMO is not being committed, well not for you I'd say. Do better bro

[Bouncer]

Rado I love ya but let me make an observation/statement. The granola thing stopped being funny about the 907th time you made reference to it.

Also, why can't he have the brands he likes? I don't wanna make fucken tea, i like lipton and Danica like Arizona. As a matter of fact I like Arizona too. Fuck sake.

Fine, granola no more :(,boo

I just feel that he needs to buckle down hard. I've seen your progress and your capabilities as well, not him


In other words if i needed to get right and get shit done, bro I drink water and make tea as needed
..dna needs to be strict, period. Even now, I'm strict to what I drink. So that is how I view it.

That's all...either all.in or take a seat their nancy

[Bouncer]

He's talking about diet drinks. No calories. What difference does it make if he drinks those or makes his own tea?

Again, it goes back to being as clean and natty as possible, again it's how i think.

I like dna and always have, so not putting him down. I'm glad he's doing better, but is he really? That's all bro, no biggie

Trying to follow your logic here Rado. I diet, work out, and put tons of effort in it.

I drink a gallon of water a day, and on top maybe if even a couple of glasses of the tea.

It's zero calorie zero sugar zero everything. What possible harm am I doing to myself?

I understand where you're coming from, and I appreciate your concern
