Why doesn’t green tea count toward the minimum water requirements when on the Atkins diet?

November 26, 2008






atkins diet
Eliza asks:

I’m on the Atkins diet. One of the requirements is to drink 64 ounces of water each day.

Decaffeinated tea is allowed on the diet, but there is a message saying that any tea you drink should not count toward the 64 ounces.

I drink decaf green tea and was wondering why I can’t count that towards the total amount of water that is required?

    Green tea has a moderate diuretic effect and you actually pee out more liquid than you put in resulting in dehydration.
