question: do you think it really makes a difference that i double bag?

i've actually grown to like the taste of it double bagged.

Jess, I've been double bagging it in a LARGE mug for a few days now. I don't know if it's making a difference, but I know I'm getting 4 cups worth in doing it that way. Since I've been doing that, tho, the scale has held at 139.8 which is okay by me!!!!!!

Renee, that sounds positively sublime!!!!! I'm going to have to remember to look for that. Blueberry is my absolute favorite fruit. I wonder if Davinci makes a blueberry syrup. I'll have to check it out next time I go to our local LC store. I do remember seeing a blueberry tea, but I don't remember if it was green tea based or not. No matter, I can always do a bag of GT along with the blueberry flavor. Sounds YUMMERS!!!!!! Thanks for the tip!!!!!

SAlada makes a Blueberry green tea too...called blue antioxidants blueberry green tea...I love their strawberry too...I have been drinking lemon and ginseng green tea by Lipton, though I like the berry and the passionfruit ones too...it is in a sampler box and is really good! I have been doing a LOT of green tea the last two days...not feeling particularly well...catching DD's cold and just that blah feeling so doing warm things since they are easiest going down!

Lori, you should add Echinacea tea to your collection!!! It knocks colds right out of me. I just swear by it!!!! I always have some on hand!!!!

huskersfan869 · #**413** 01-24-2005, 09:52 PM

I may have to...though this is my first one in almost a year...I have had a couple of minor issues but nothing like before I started LC!

Tina B · #**414** 01-24-2005, 09:59 PM

I also have been noticing that not I'm sniffling and coughing, like everyone around me. I'm up to about 6 cups of green tea a day; I'm going to have to scout for echinacea tea next time I head to the market.

Yesterday was my first day of Green Tea. I had 3 cups. I onlt had one Green Tea Bag in the house. I have to go out and buy more. I am hoping that the cafeteria at my job has green tea.

I went down to the cafeteria and I saw they sell Celestial seasonings green tea with lemon. Has anyone had that? IS it good? I will have to try it later.

I like Lipton's green tea with lemon--I would guess it would be about the same flavor and it is my favorite! I am drinking my first cup today...will likely have two at work like yesterday and then one or two in the evening...I am hoping this bout with the sniffles isn't turning into a sinus infection...YUCK!

budsvtec · #**418** 01-25-2005, 10:50 AM

ugh..Sinus infections..My wife, Danielle always gets them. I hope you feel better.

How long do you think it will take me to notice any pounds coming off from drinking the green tea?

I havent lost weight in a while, and if I do I gain it the next week. My body is strange. I finally cut out the fake low carb foods like the Low carb ice cream and chocolates, so I am hoping that I will start losing. My wife lost 5lbs so far.....She had lost 40lbs the last time she was on low carb. I cannot understand why it is so hard to lose the weight this time....

barb keith · #**419** 01-25-2005, 12:55 PM

Scott, getting rid of all the LC Frankenfoods will certainly make a difference. (Reserve them for a once a week treat, maybe.) Are you exercising and drinking all your water???

I think it took me about a week of drinking green tea to see a difference in the scale.

I would think that CS Lemon would be REALLY GOOD. ALL their teas so far that I've tasted have been YUMMY!!!!

budsvtec · #**420** 01-25-2005, 02:03 PM

Yeah the Lemon is pretty good with a little splenda in it. I drink as much water as I can. I drink 2 to 3 small bottles at work and then a few glasses at home with ice and a little fresh lemon juice squeezed in.
