How does drinking Kombuch tea go with the Zone diet?
Kombucha tea is homemade, as you know, and the start-up varies with the brewer. It contains from 1 to 2 cups of brown sugar which is quite a belt of carbohydrates. Even if a portion of this is converted into alcohol, you are still faced with 4 to 6 oz of an unknown carbo brew. I suggest doing some figuring as to the quanity of sugar carbs in each of your doses and then zone it remembering that these sugars are high GI so be sure to eat a low GI carb with the tea. Otherwise, Kombucha give you health benefits from the antibiotics developed from the fungus and other enzymes. The benefits are controversal, of course, but I dont think many people have died from drinkng it and most people do well with it. It give me a stomach ache but I am still willing to try it again. I have a baby sleeping in my fridge right now.
