Sugarfree Tea

I have a sugarfree tea, but it has Aspertame in it. Will this hurt the diet?

Hi Tammy,
we don't recommend sugarfree tea with artificial sweeteners like Aspertame. Aspertame will deteriorate your possible hunger feelings on the cabbage soup diet week. On top many sugarfree teas contain a high sodium content which in return will retain water in your body. A better alternative is water with or "plain" fruit tea. You may improve the taste of both with lemon slices.

All the best,
Gabriela
