Water!

Kfont42

I use a free app called iHydrate to track my water intake. I also use an app called Mango that will send me custom reminders to nudge me to drink more water. On both, you can set goals for how much water you'd like to drink in a day. On iHydrate, you log anything from coffee to juice to soda, and the app will give you credit for the water in it.

I aim to drink 80 ounces of water a day, and 7.9 - 15 ounces of that is coffee or tea. I try not to drink soda because it's a lot of calories and sugar I don't need (I have enough of a sweet tooth as is, that soda was an easy thing to cut). If I'm having a day where plain water just doesn't sound good, I drink hot tea. I keep lemon tea at my desk. It's Celestial Seasonings, and it has 0 calories, but it's refreshing!

For me, I notice a difference in my body when I'm drinking more water. I read a while back that sometimes, we mistake hunger for dehydration, so the best thing you can do when you're trying to lose weight or cut back on calories is drink water. It's also better for your skin, and it makes working out easier. On top of that, drinking cold water burns calories because your body has to warm it up to process it (I read that in one of the articles in the MFP HelloHealthy section on dieting myths).
