I'm down to 2 glasses of sweet tea a day now. Its just like smoking. I cant quit cold turkey. Maybe I can think of sweet tea as dessert. Only on Sundays after church...

This is exactly it ! True sweet tea is not just tea with sugar added in. Its actually brewed with the sugar in it while its hot, so that the sugar is almost crystalized and saturated throughout the tea. When I go any place north of Fredericksburg, Virginia, it gets harder to get real sweet tea, and any place north of Virginia, they just give me a funny look if I order a 'sweet tea" they just say- oh the sugar is right there for you on the table Uh- thats not sweet tea! That being said, I think that artificial sweenters are far worse than real sugar, and sweet tea uses natural sugar, which although not great for you, is better than that cancer causing stuff.

Well, we'll have to disagree on that. I think unsweet tea is sickening to my stomach and bitter tasting, and hot tea is something I would never touch in a million years. But to each his/her own. Sweet tea here in Virginia is not as deeply sweetened as it is further South , anyway, but I just can't fathom having anything else to go with my meal. I drink tea year 'round, but only iced tea sweetened.
Someone mentioned honey instead of sugar- that would be different, but I think I could certainly go for that ! Thanks for the suggestion.

Try as I may, I simply cannot drink unsweet tea. Its just nasty stuff! Hot tea is gross too. But I can cut back I think. I just wonder if sugar can cause weight gain, or if just the calories that matter. I rarely drink soft drinks, at least.

Nope, just sugar and water The diference is sweet tea is made with the sugar, while the tea is actually brewing then made iced cold.

| Weight Loss | Can you gain weight on whole grain bread even if it is within your allowed calories? | Jun 17 2009 03:26 (UTC) |

I think bread could have a lot of sodium in it, so it could be water weight. Salt can increase weight and also make clothes fit tighter if you are bloated from it. Bread alone really shouldnt cause weight gain, unless you are simply eating too many calories from it. Also, part of your weight gain could be from muscle, and not fat.
