I looked up the calories of this tea bag and it says zero calories.

Thank you,Welcome to the OMAD forum, @omad_for_life ! Are you just starting the OMAD program, or have you been doing this way of eating for a while now ?
When we are fasting, pretty much any tea is fine, the main thing is not to add sugar, because that breaks the fast and the sugar also spikes insulin.
I don’t really like tea just plain, so I usually have coffee in the mornings, but sometimes later in the afternoon, I do have tea. When I do, I add a little no-calorie sweetener. It is not good to be using a lot of this, but I only have a little of it now and then, so as far as I can tell, it is working okay for me.
There is also some good information about drinking tea , if you look on the main website for this forum, as well as a lot of other great information.
I also tried Pu'er Tea which is zero calorie too and very good taste...Anything that is zero-calorie and doesn’t have any artificial sweeteners should be absolutely fine during your fasting window. The purists are going to tell you that anything that isn’t water is a “no go,” but I don’t believe in restricting your diet that severely, particularly for daily fasting purposes.
Herbal tea, green tea, black tea, black coffee—all of these things should be fine so long as you’re not sweetening them with anything or obviously adding calories with things such as milk or creamer. If I didn’t get to drink green tea during my fasting window, I might have hurt someone by now, haha.

I believe these teas and coffee are good to OMAD. I used to sweeten mine with honey but now I know sweetening is not right. I take a lot of tea in my OMAD.Anything that is zero-calorie and doesn’t have any artificial sweeteners should be absolutely fine during your fasting window.

I believe taking liguids during OMAD without any addictive or sweetener isn't wrong.you can go ahead with your ginger tea, I used to drink green tea then but now I just clean water during my fasting window still my eating time.The best bet is eating a balanced diet meal during the eating period for nutrients.
You're right water too has zero calorie and it filled one up for a long time too.i just wanted to start drinking only water for a while and I'm achieving it though other liquids can be taken too to spice things up though without sweeteners.Once there is sugar or any sweetener in the drinks that you take in your fasting window, it's already ruined for the day because the sweetener causes insulin spike that brings an end to your fasting. Water is probably the best liquid to take because it digests immediately.

That's the essence of water to keep one hydrated and during the fasting period it helps filled one in.Yes,I have tried the water therapy a long time ago.it helps to detox the body and flush out free radicals too.Some people would just look down on water calling it just common water but in essence water is the very important in one's life no minding any other liquid one can take. A colleague of mine does watery therapy every now and then, her body always looks fresh and well hydrated.
