ANYTHING other than water that is low carb, low sugar?

Runtly89

I am in love with water, and I drink it without a problem. I'm very, very well hydrated. But lately I've been craving something different (but what?) I want something juicy and refreshing.. But juice is LOADED with sugar and carbs which I'm restricting at this point in time. Is there some miracle drink out there that I can enjoy without the guilt???

green tea, or almost any tea.
I drink a lot of Kamille&Honey tea. It taste sweet and has no carbs;

Cyrstal Light or no-sugar kool aid? Personally, I like diet coke and allow myself one can a day.

I use them for drinking cooking and for my diabetic hubby.
The orange tastes like orange juice - as do most of them taste like the fruit on the pack. The cola sucks. The ice tea is ok.
I think you can buy them worldwide, and definitely on eBay.

Water with lemon slices... or lime, or other fruit. That's what I drink. I love it!

I don't know about miracle drinks. I'm not in that business

I generally drink water or unsweet iced tea. If I want a kick I I add a little cherry juice to the tea (makes it tart) and lately I have been making water with extras - last week I put cucumber, lemon and mint in the pitcher of water (this was actually labeled a 'detox' but I just made it becaues it was tasty) and this week it's just mint and lime because whole foods was out of cucumber. Cucumber! Crazy.

I keep meaning to try water with fruit, mint, veggies...but how long does it have to sit before you drink it??

Runtly89

That's a really good idea.. How did they taste? I'm going to try that.. I bet the cucumber is very refreshing!! Thank you for your help

Diet coke, sugar-free drinks are always packed with aspartame.. Just a fake sugar.

Have you tried coconut water? I find that really refreshing and depending on the brand, can be as low as 8 calories /100 ml. Not calorie free, but still pretty low considering how amazing it is!

Frozen blueberries, cranberries, or cherries work great as ice cubes and will flavor the water some, more as they "melt". And it's not very many cals/carbs if you munch on those few berries when your water's gone.

I love water with cucumber slices OR a twist of orange, lime, or lemon to give it a little more flavor than just plain water. Other than that, I'll drink unsweetened iced tea, iced coffee, or Diet Dr. Pepper.

This is an EXCELLENT idea.

I get sick of water really easy so I add Crystal Light Energize powders to it. They are 10 cals a packet and add a lot of flavor

Crystal Light packets are my go-to drinks. I don't see anything wrong with it because of the artificial sweetener. It hasn't stopped or prolonged my weight loss. I drink it everyday and I am losing weight consistently. Vitamin water zero is great too.

Honeybush tea (especially with vanilla and lavender) tastes slightly sweet.

As would a tea with citrus peel in it. Like Earl Grey, which has bergamot in it. Or just add lemon/orange peel to a black tea and infuse.

Or mint tea, especially with water mint or spearmint. That's lovely iced as well.



ETA: make with hot water and either drink hot, warm or chilled, whatever you like.

Light lemonade.

Add any kind of fruit to your water, cucumbers, mint. Watermelon works great and cold steep with a tea bag. Tastes yummy!

diet coke.

you're welcome.

Crystal light with fiber, comes in two flavours. The berry one is amazing. It says "3 carbs" but it has 3 grams of fiber and so the carbs are cancelled out. Tastes like juice!

ETA: Also the regular Crystal light singles have 0 carbs, a delicious flavour is lemon-lime which tastes just like lemonade.

I like to buy diet ocean spray juice (blueberry is my favorite) and I usually mix it 1/10 oz of juice to oz of water. Not only does it flavor the water, the bottles tend to last a long time, and you are still mainly drinking water.
