Hi. I've been dieting for a while now and have lost quite alot but there is just one problem; the water. I can't drink it AT ALL, it just makes me feel sick and horrible. I can't drink juice because there is too many calories and soda is bad. Help?

    Infuse it with oranges, lemons, strawberries, whatever fruit you like really. I used to drink zero pure water - now I can't imagine how I can drink less than 6 to 12 glasses a day. It really does make you feel so much healthier!

    Flavour the water .. I love drinking it ice cold with lemon wedges. Ppl add all sorts of fruits to water, even those fruity green tea bags.

    Of course, there's the flavor packets for water you can buy as well

    I get all my water from coke zero, milk and coffee.

    Can't remember the last time I drank a glass of water - it hasn't done me any harm.

    Same here.. drinking water makes me feel sick unless I am working out but then I only sip the water. I get the flavored liter of waters from like Walmart to drink. They are zero everything and the flavor helps.

    If water literally makes you sick, you need to see your doctor.

    If you just don't like it... well #firstworldproblems


    And the flavored waters from walmart/target are basically just diet 7up.

    Have you tried drinking bottled water rather than tap water?
    I moved to a different country and can't drink the tap water, I can't stand the taste, so I switched to bottled water and that tastes a lot better. Alternatively - you can get these tablets called 'ZERO Highs', they're calorie free and give you some electrolytes as well as flavouring your water. They have nice flavours like apple

    Initially I hated to drink water like you, then I found Arizona Tea-Sticks http://www.drinkarizona.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=275 - helped me a lot and over the time I got used to drink water also without this :drinker:

    If your used to drinking fizzy and sugary drinks then switching to water is a bit of a shock to the taste buds. You do get used to it, I remember when I only drank pop and drinking water just seemed awful but now its become a habit and I drink about 4 pints a day.

    I empathise with you, I can't stand the stuf2f.no matter how much I add juice,flavorings etc.it sloshes around in my belly, making me feel sick.

    That's why I drink up to 10 cups of tea a day. Some medics say at least your getting fluids, others say, it's a diaretic and I need drink more water. I've not drank pure water for 25 yrs, but get 3 litres of fluids at least each day. I also don't know what to do now I'm on this strict calorie controlled diet. I know it encourages metabolism. However, I won't make my life uncomfortable by forcing waste, either pure or flavoured.

    As some above said try flavouring it with slices of lemon, orange, cucumber or tea bags.

    I wouldn't recommend coke, milk or powdered juice, they've got waaaay too many additives. Losing weight is not the only healthy choice for our bodies, eating and drinking clean is also important.

    Is it mineral water what you tried? Sometimes I don't like the taste of it and I go for purified tap water.

    Try different brands, maybe there's the perfect water for you out there

    Sometimes the best way to start drinking water is to force yourself. If you have a water bottle, make it a goal to drink 1/4 of it by lunch time, 1/2 of it by mid-afternoon, all of it by dinner, etc. Keep upping the amounts until you are getting a proper amount of pure water in yourself every day.

    Maybe try seltzer? Or unsweetened iced green or herbal tea?

    Really cold water sometimes me feel sick, but cool or room temperature goes down easy.

    I really love water! Other drinks coat my tongue and don't really quench my thirst. If I drink soda or juice, I still drink a glass of water afterward.
