    Only water.


    I used to think I hated water and after getting in the habit of drinking it, I PREFER it now. It's just like exercise.. It's all habit!

    Try some crystal lite. Every once in a while I just get tired of water so i'll add crystal lite to it. Some time lil lemon or lime.

    By squash she means water plus a flavouring - kind of like crystal light in America I guess.

    As a fellow UK person (Hi, by the way) I'd say that squash counts as it's a drink, however you need to log the calories which can seriously mount up!

    Squash can also mean a vegetable which is why someone commented about watermelon :laugh:

    I used to not like drinking water either. Then I forced myself to like it. It was necessary, and I'm glad I did it. Now it's all I ever drink.

    I hated water, but now love water. Prefer it cold but drink it all day. I have not touched any soft drinks since or even juices as I prefer to eat fruit than use up all my calories on drinks!

    What she said, if you get the no added sugar version it's not so bad, 4cals per 25ml. Add the cals for that PLUS the glass of water it goes in and hey presto you've had a glass of water!

    Of course it counts as water! Just because it has flavouring in it doesn't mean it ceases to be water!

    You're not Jesus.

    Does it hydrate you? Yes.

    Your stomach doesn't have a magic pocket that separates water from water mixed with something else and it really can't tell the difference.

    It's pretty obvious when you think about it.

    Consider squash is 25ml concentrate and 225ml water.

    You either mix it in the cup or in the stomach. Your stomach can't tell the difference.

    Edit to note that most Americans here will probably think you mean the vegetable when you say "squash." :smile:

    Yes, if I add a little Crystal light or lemon to my water it still counts as water!!

    Only you Brits would name a flavored drink mix after a large gourd-like vegetable!!! I'm a relatively intelligent person, and I was baffled for a minute.
