Flavored Water

CassandraEldridge

I use those Singles to go packets to flavor my water. I also use "energy" liquid flavoring (has caffeine) I count these items as part of my water intake.

My question is this.... Does adding flavoring or caffeine to my water move it to a different catergory and it no longer counts as "water"?

I don't count diet soda as water... I don't count tea as water either.... I need someone to tell me It's okay it still counts as water.

So i went to a weight loss class through my doctors office and i was surprised that the dietician said all of the above count as water intake!!! soda coffee tea flavored waters it all counts BUT she said that at least half of your "water" intake should be clean clear water. I dont count soda or coffee as water but i do count flavored waters....and that was a great post because it never occured to me to log it on here so ill start doing that thanks to you

That makes me feel better thank you!!!!!!

I usually drink two or three 20oz of flavored water during the day but only one 20oz in the evening of clear water and probably 1 20oz of soda... so I need to start drinking more clear water. Good to know.
