Iced Tea Dilema



Recommended Posts

This southern girl loves her iced tea. Which I used to make by boiling up a simple syrup( sugar ,water, Lipton) I've since switched to the Decaf and Splenda. Which is fine when the tea is pre made. Like the way they serve it up at restaurants. My problem is at home. It's not the same any suggestions

Just throwing this out there, wonder if an Ice tea maker might make a better brew. I know what you mean about making it at home. Or if you try another sweetener like the truvia.

Snaple also has a diet tea with peach. I actually liked it until the cold started wearing off.

I too am a southern girl who loves her sweet tea! I make my tea in a pot on the stove- old school lol, I put Splenda in the pitcher, not good at measuring, so somewhere btwn .5 & 1 in from bottom, then I pour the hot tea in & stir. Add some ice & cold Water to top it off. I make it all the time & everyone loves it, they don't even notice it's Splenda ;)

Nestea Zero. This is a Coke product. Probably not available south of the border tho. I'm pretty sure it's only available in Canada. I'm enjoying one right now.

I work for Nestlé. We have 3 brands of iced tea. Nestea, Sweet Leaf, and Tradewinds. They all have diet teas, though none are caffeine free. Tradewinds also has an unsweetened tea that you could sweeten with Splenda or liquid stevia to your liking.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
