Flavored water

Just like many other people, I do not really like having normal water. Therefore, I like to have flavored water with no added sugar and a light sweetener. The flavored water only has 3 calories per 250 ml.
I know the recommended amount of water is 8 cups or something similar.
Will it be alright if I replace normal water with flavored water?

    As long as my water has no calories, I count it as water, no matter the flavor. Sometimes, I just need a change of flavor from plain water, even though I do like it. I do NOT count anything with caffeine as water (tea).

    Water doesn't turn into anything else when you add flavor - it is still water. Count it.

  • There is a brand of water called HINT. It is water with just a hint of flavor to it. Pretty good. And it has no calories. =)

    Yes, it will also be ok if you add tea to it, or sugar, or milk. (just count the calories in them, if you're counting calories.) :flowerforyou:

    Your body does though, so it's ok. :drinker:
