Tea and coffee is OK in moderation very low calorie (I don't have sugar, honey on rare occasion) , in fact I often rely on both of them for a boost.
Someone told me a long time ago go for walk thirty minutes a day that's a good foundation to start from when it comes to health.
Hopefully @barryt007 will return to the site.
Off topic, but not sure it's the best way to lose weight: I understand your body gets in starvation mode and ultimately you might gain weight.
On topic: Serendipity went down recently. I'm a tea orphan yet again. And I've got little Vietnamese tea left. My local eco friendly organic shop is trying to find their suppliers.
Fasting to lose weight can work as long as you know what you're doing.
I am monitoring all my food and recording it and its actually made me eat healthier and I am snacking less which is a big thing for me.
I have a pint of water prior to breaking the fast which has Lime, Apple cider vinegar, Cayan pepper, ginger, cinnamon, Himalayan salt, potassium prior to my first light meal.
Weight loss is a side benefit really, its good for general health and I am sleeping so much better than I was.
I have lost around 4kg in two weeks. Though I do weight train five days a week and also do Russian Kettlebell and Mace bell training, cycling and go rucking and kick boxing and boxing workouts on my kick bag (interval training) so I burn a lot of calories which helps.
Its quite alright I enjoy any discussion :) One thing I have realised with watching my food is the calories you can consume with tea and coffee, I have been using an app to scan bar codes of food I usually consume and was surprised how many calories are in coffee sachets I have regularly, I hasten to add I have cut down on them.
I am fortunate I stopped taking sugar with tea and coffee a few years ago so that one less concern. Never really had a sweet tooth.
Protein is good not just for nutrition though also as it is more filling than say Carbs, I eat a lot of fish and seafood.
Adding milk to green tea? That's as suspicious as red wine with fish!
Not the done thing then? I'm giving my villainy away too easily. I suppose it's weak enough on its own and doesn't need any more watering down but I can't take tea without milk I'm afraid.
Well in A Clockwork Orange they drink Milk Plus (or Moloko Plus) of course which is milk spiked with barbiturates. Always good for a bit of the old "ultraviolence" and fine to add to tea I'm sure you'd agree! ;)
Yes but the image is there. Anthony Burgess made Alex drink milk to show is innocence, but I suspect it was also to show his savagery.
Yes, Burgess was good with the old symbolism and nice that it had a double edged meaning too.
Is your hatred for milk a result of the ludovico treatment you had? ;)
And not forgetting of course that Roger Moore as Bond had a predilection for milk as these two 1970s adverts for the Milk Marketing Board show:
I actually love milk. But with a dessert. And while I love it I acknowledge that it's not normal for an adult to drink it. But yeah, when I have a dessert I either have it with tea or milk.
'Someone mention Milk'
I rest my case. Milk is not good news. In fact, Necros is pretty much the Grim Reaper there.
Only the Brits add milk to tea. I think it spoils the flavour. You don't need to add milk to take away the bitterness, just don't put the leaves too long in the water. There are a lot of Asian teas that are very smooth and have very little if any bitterness.
So it turns out we're the ones who are uncivilised then! How typically British of me to think it was the other way around. The imperialist strain obviously dies hard. ;)
Well yeah of course. You used to paint your face to go to battle and many still do when watching football. No wonder you add tea to milk.
On a side note, one cool picture of A Clockwork Orange with tea (I asked the photographer and it's mint tea, not Orange Pekoe):
This is my 14,000th post on MI6 Community so I'm going to try to make it a good one. :)
"May I press you to a cucumber sandwich?" comes to mind there, @GeneralGogol, and I'm sure you were in your element in Russia. ;)
Water, tea and orange juice at breakfast. Milk with desserts or by itself if I need something filling.
Sour cream and tea sounds disgusting.
Any kind of dairy added to tea is imo. That said I do like a London Fog, bit I consider it more a sort of hot milk with Earl Grey flavour than a proper tea. And of course tea is delicious with dessert, because the hot drink "breaks" the fat and sugar. No need to pour milk into your tea!
What was your opinion on milk and tea again? It seems a tad unclear... You should probably repeat it about ten times more so I'm sure I understand ;)
It's a glass of tea -- with plenty of ice cubes, sugar and a dash of lemon.
At least in the American South, that is.
