I drink about 4-6 cups of tea a day, and generally half of that is green tea. I have done this for ages though, started drinking tea regularly way before i started lcing. I don't add sweetener or anything to my green tea or orange pekoe tea or anything and i only add a bit of splenda to some herbal teas. I'm not really on atkins though and i dont beleive it is reccomended to have caffiene at least in the induction phase, but after that i dont think there is any problem with it. I have never noticed green tea helping my weight loss or anything of the sort, i just drink it for the taste for the most part. i had started drinking tea when i stopped drinking coffee regularly (i used to have 40+ cups of coffee every single day). Though according to consumer reports magazine which is usually very reliable, one average cup of tea (green or orange pekoe), has roughly the amount of antioxidants as a medium sized raw carrot, so it is a good thing for your health,=.
