I try to drink 2 gallons of water a day, but it's too frikkin plain. Would turning the water into iced tea defeat the purpose? I mean all it is is sweetened water. IP: Logged |

i would guess that since tea is caffienated and that since caffiene is a diuretic that it would defeat the purpose. IP: Logged |

I like to drink a lot of water, but i think gatorade, and ice tea, are okay in moderation, b/c of empty calories from sugar, and i know if you drink too much ice tea, you can have a defecience in iron. Thats how i feel about it. anyone else? IP: Logged |

Crystal light might work, but I just drink water. After all 3/4 of the body is made up of water. Not sugar & sodium. Try Aberfoyle, or Zephyrhills Natural Spring Water, it's the best. IP: Logged |

I use crystal light AND you can find sugar free, decaff tea's in the supper market, it makes for a nice change. Through in some lemons and ice and there you go, flavored water without all the other B.S. IP: Logged |

I cut a slice of orange or lemon and put it in the water jug. It help with that bland taste. When I'm not on the juice I sometimes use Irish whiskey to dilute the water!!!!!!!. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I often take a 1 1/2 liter bottle of water, take a few drinks, then add orange or grapefruit juice (about 5% mixture). Like that, I can drink bottles per day. IP: Logged |

Stay off the caffeine if you can. I put a little bit of lime juice in my water. The plain taste really gets old pretty quick, doesn' it. IP: Logged |

I agree - throw in anything citrusy and it will improve the taste...I used to just cram a bunch of lemon and or lime slices into my gallon water jug....its no Corona but it breaks up the monotony... IP: Logged |

If you are near a Sams Club, try buying a drink called Botanicals....It is approved by Docter Adkins, because it has NO sugar....and it tastes great. I believe they have 5 or 6 flavors. It comes in 20-24 in a case and it comes to about 50-60 cents per bottle. Enjoy My cycle starts next week......Rock On Chef ------------------ IP: Logged |

Botanicals is a great drink. I love that stuff. Made from all natural stuff, and tastes a lot better than those drinks you mix yourself. Give it a shot. ------------------ IP: Logged |
