yeah its good ol TEA.... and yes switching from coffee to tea statistically takes off an average 10-15 lbs in the first year ....
because tea speeds up your metabolism slightly whereas cofee actually depresses it ( slightly again but over time it really makes a difference )
I tried it at my Mom's suggestion and it really worked ... ( lots more energy too )
Anyway here's the drink :
one scoop protein slurry ( blended with as little water as possible and still pour able ) inbottom of mug
almost boiling black or chai tea ( I use cardamom seeds in mine .... ) ( earl gray works great too)
sugarfree Chai in a boxfrom Oregon Tea
- pour the slury into bottom of mug- put a few glugs ofthe sugerfree chai concentrate ... fillup mug with hot tea ....
OH MY

I drink lots of herb tea or decaf tea each day. Does the caffeine have something to do with the weight loss? I don't ever but anything but sweetner in my tea, haven't tried it with protein.

I think its the idea that in tea the natural caffeine works with about 21 other related compounds synergistically ....incidentally those synergistic metabolism boosting compounds ARE present i n decaffeinated tea and low caffeine teas like green tea as well.
in coffee the caffeine is isolated so U get much more of an up- down effect and people also tend to put a lot more caloric creamers and sugars in it to counteract the bitterness and acidity .... especially habitual coffee drinkers .
Most tea drinking cultures like in the orient and asia ...have very limited overweight issues . I'm not sure about Russia ..but I suspect despite the extreme cold that people ARE quite a bit thinner than here.
