I've been wanting to have some herbal (decaf) teas later in the afternoon but am not sure if they are permitted. They are 0/0/0 but some of the ingredients are fruit (like lemon raspberry). Are these allowed?

If not, are they completely off (I have a ginger lemon version and a chamomile version, green tea, etc., would that work?).

Thanks for any help figuring this out

As a tea aficionado, I gave up a lot of my teas while on IP, including my fruit tisanes. I figure that IP said no fruit, so I would hold true to the spirit of the program and eliminate my fruit flavored teas until I finished with the protocol.

I use the other herbals like lemon grass and peppermint in the afternoon instead, and find that I do well on them.

I would think that if your tea has pieces of fruit in it, don't use it. If it is only flavored with fruit(however that may be, but not fruit pieces)you may be okay. You can try, knowing that if you see a weight stall, try eliminating them as well. Good luck

Herbal Teas are a YES, as long as they aren't any of the loose ones that add fruits
