What Kind of Tea to Drink?

• You should drink as much tea as possible on the ultimate tea diet. You can drink any kind of tea. The only catch is that the tea must have come from the camellia sinensis plant. Most herbal teas do not come from this plant, but most white, black and green teas do. Drink all the tea you want to even out your metabolism and prevent cravings. If you feel hungry, drink tea instead of eating. If you are craving sugar or something sweet, drink tea. This approach is helpful after dinner or during dessert when you want something sweet.
  
  

What Kind of Food to Eat?

• While on the ultimate tea diet, Dr. Tea recommends a lean protein and high fruit and vegetable diet, including lots of green leafy vegetables. Lean proteins come in the forms of tofu, black beans, pinto beans, lean chicken breast, lean pork, lean turkey breast. Eat fresh fruit, a vegetable and a protein at every meal, if possible. Eat salads regularly, containing collard greens, romaine lettuce or spinach, with a protein source such as black beans, lean turkey or lean chicken. Use fats and oils sparingly in all meals, and remember to drink lots of water---and, of course, tea.
  
  

Adding Tea to Recipes

• With the ultimate tea diet, you also use tea several times a week as an ingredient in your recipes. You can eat tea and digested it. Add fresh, loose tea to any protein source by mixing it into a marinade, then dipping the protein into the marinade and grilling or broiling it. You can also sprinkle the loose tea on salads and spaghetti. Or dip a piece of fish or meat in egg whites, then dip it directly into the tea leaves to crust the meat.
