Can I have fruit teas in Phase 1?
Q) Can I have fruit teas in Phase 1?
A) Yes – I just group all such things under ‘herbal teas’ – so everything from peppermint to chamomile to rosehip, blackcurrent, raspberry and vanilla – any such teas are absolutely fine in any phase of the diet. They always smell better than they taste I find!






Is camomile and honey ok?
Hi Alison – any herbal tea/fruit tea/decaf tea is fine. So if Camomile and honey is a variety of tea it’s fine. If you mean camomile tea with honey added – it’s not fine – there’s a question on honey in the book
Hope this helps

Hi Zoe I cant find rice milk mentioned in the book so could you please tell me if it is ok to have it in phase 1 ?
Hi Carol – no to Phase 1. The full info is on this blog: http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2009/12/milk-all-about-the-different-options/

Hi Zoe,
Thanks for the response, it’s a chamomile and honey teabag and silly as this may sound, the smell of the honey was overwhelmingly tempting! I’ve stuck them at the back of the cupboard and am avoiding for present. Having lost nearly a stone and a half in the last 3 weeks I’m not putting temptation in my path!
Thanks for a great book.
I live in Pakistan. Have just completed the second day of phase 1. Hoping to get good results. Just want to know how I can order your books from here.
Hi Arshia – we ship internationally from our club shop (http://shop.theharcombedietclub.com/) or ebooks (also in the shop) would be the fastest way to get the book. If you have a Kindle or iapp – the books are on both of these available from amazon.com/itune store
Hope this helps!
Best wishes – Zoe
