Slaying milk tea and sugar addiction

[matets]

I struggle to wean myself off milk tea and sugar, my greatest downfall/trigger is office tea. Once i see my colleagues serve, I find it difficult to restrain myself. Please share tips to overcome.

Apart from the sugar aspect, I see little benefit to giving up your cups of tea, matets

I cut sugar from my diet, cold turkey, as I'm no good at regulating the amount I consume. Others cut down and there are some that gradually reduce, until consumption has been curtailed.

If you wish to give up the tea altogether, then I suggest you excuse yourself when the tea boat is around and do something else

There is no main need to give up tea, it is the healthiest of hot drinks you can have but if it is because of sugar you have I used to have two sugars in a cup and I cut down by changing to two sweeteners to start with which took me about a week to fully get used to but I decided to go back to sugar and found this too sweet so stuck to sweeteners. I then managed to cut this down by doing the same thing with swapping from two to one and trying to go back, but couldn't. Now I have cut out sugars all together. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Have you tried the flavoured teas, they take a bit of getting used to, but i quiet like them now, green tea with honey an lemon is very nice.

Thanks for the tip. I do take green tea once in a while though it's never as consistent as I would love. I tend to fall back on the milk tea

I had the same issue at work and love tea with a spoonful of sugar, instead I cut down to one sweetener then gradually cut completely. Also try peppermint tea as a replacement, keeps you alert, tastes delicious and keeps your indigestion steady.
