Nutrition Yerba Mate for diet

[vincent.capuano]

I love coffee. I also love "tomando mate" drinking the South American tea called mate. It is a bit confusing how to refer to it because you drink it from a cup or gourde called a "mate" and the herbal tea you put in it is called yerba mate.

It is great for fasting. Many Argentinians don't eat breakfast they just drink mate. 0 calories + a caffeine boost. I find that it really cuts hunger. Maybe for its properties or maybe for the large amount of water that is used. Try it you will like it.

Mate is awesome. Something I really enjoy is to prepare a mate in the morning and grab my kettlebell. Then, take a few hours to drink the mate while I do the practice, with very, very long rest between sets.
