on the atkins site it says not to drink teas with barley or fruit sugars... but im confused as to whether that includes teas that have fruit in them? i know it sounds silly but i figured i'd ask, has anyone been drinking fruit teas that have 0 carbs, and been able to lose weight? i like the taste, and they're not sweet, so it doesnt feel like im cheating, im just worried !

I think the fructose/fruit sugars might apply to the teas that come in cubes, or are presweetened. I drink peppermint and other "fruit teas" that are just the plant material.

Some of the herbal teas do have 1 carb - so does coffee - but I don't think it's enough to worry about. Besides, these herbal teas DO COUNT as water.
