I love love love my sweet tea! I am not happy without my sweet tea!

Guess what happened this past Wednesday? My family physician came to my house and weighed myself. I gained 7 pounds. He told myself that I need to reduce my sweet tea consumption and use honey instead of sugar.

I have myself on a sweet tea boot camp.

I now drink unsweetened iced tea mixed with Jordan's Skinny Syrup, then electrolyte water (I buy from the grocery store and homemade by myself) too.

The worst one was when I had an Angina attack while walking my son's dog on a slightly steep hill near our house. They took me to the emergency room in an ambulance and the doctor told me I needed a quadruple bypass open heart surgery. After he explained all the + and - points and I asked when, he blew my mind when he said tomorrow.

It's understandable giving up something you love just to stay healthy. Do you also workout to help as well?

That's not a lot of weight gain, and it's normal for weight to go up and down by up to 3kg from one day to another depending on a lot of factors. But if you want to lose weight that's up to you of course. I'm not sure swapping sugar for honey will help though since honey is also mostly sugar. I guess your doctor said it for a reason though. Good luck.

I am debating with myself right now. I want a real sweet tea really bad. However, I told a couple of people today that I would prepare for myself some protein shakes instead.

Should I prepare the protein shakes or prepare some unsweetened iced tea with some honey (like my family physician said to do)?

Yes, recently I have to stop drinking so much flavoured milk and exercise more!! So painful.

What kind of flavored milk? Chocolate, strawberry, almond, oat, etc.?

If you want to stick to your doctor’s advice, maybe try the unsweetened iced tea with honey this time. You can save the protein shake for when you really need a filling, healthy boost.

I do not want to use honey. I use an artificial sweetener. Yes, I still have my homemade protein shakes and homemade protein smoothies.
