    I have a reall problem drinking water. Except when I am doing Zumba I tend to drink watered down Wyler's lite lemonade. I ue one packet in a quart of water and I drink about a quart of it a day up to six glasses. Sometimes I drink herbal tea. I stay away from carbonated beverages. The lemonade comes out to 2 1/2 calories a cup.
  • "HINT" water
    Poweraide Zero
    Zevia Soda
    Water with ginger
    or water with XTEND
  • I like the walmart brand of crystal light - the lime margarita is good and so is the fruit punch - low calorie or sugar free. you can also mix the flavors - like....strawberry and orange.
  • watch those crystal lights!! They still contain aspartame

  • I used to always drink pop ( Mountain Dew ) 24/7. When I started MFP I switched to drinking water but I buy the generic (Great Value from Walmart) Crystal Light to put in in my water. There's tons of flavors to try. My favorite is Rasberry Lemonade my hubby's favorite Orange Early Sunrise. They are low calorie and some are even sugar free. Anything beats the non stop pop I was drinking. I hope it helps :)

    Espresso in the am, water all day. I did do some lemons/limes/oranges/mint gently mashed in a big pitcher then water on top last week. It was a nice change. Sometimes hot tea at night.

    Water with a couple of drops of the regular (not the HE) Mio flavoring is my favorite. Might seem expensive, but it doesn't take much to flavor the water.

    I used to like crystal light green tea, but I've been getting away from it because I prefer the lighter Mio flavoring and I tend to drink more water every day while using it.

    Mostly MiO lately. I have a bunch of different flavors and sometimes even mix them together to keep it interesting.

    In order of quantity/consistency:

    Water
    Herbal teas: mint, chamomile, fruit flavors, weightless - sometimes with Stevia, mostly not
    HINT (they have it at work)
    Green tea
    Coffee (1 cup a day)
    Cider vinegar in water +Stevia
    Black tea: chai spice, earl grey
    Zevia soda
    Once in a while - diet soda (usually at a movie theater)

    I consider protein shakes and smoothies to be food but I have those pre- and post-workout.

    SO I've always been good about getting my 8-a-day with water, but come meal time I do get tired of the monotony. I'll drink green tea occasionally, but I'd love some other, calorie friendly options.

    Moet and chandon

    I have a cup of peppermint or chai tea with breakfast and a mini can of Diet Coke for supper, but it's plain ol' water all of the rest of the time.

    I need a change up every once in a while too! I've been making fresh green tea and then mixing it with crystal light lemonade. Oh, the combo is sooooooooo good!!! The green tea taste and the lemon go so well together. It tastes so good it feels like a cheat drink.

    I try to get all of my water in. Some days are better than others. I do have at least one LARGE glass of iced tea a day. I am a self proclaimed tea-a-holic. I love iced tea and will chose it over anything. I am trying to get more water into my diet though.

    carboonated water... i add fresh squeezed lemin or lime ... sometimes I buy that thick juice at Trader Joes (blueberry or pomegranate) and doi 1/4 juice to 3/4 bubbly water.

    I sometimes have OJ when I wake up to give my blood sugar a start.

    I usually drink a glass of skim milk with breakfast, water for the rest of the day, and try to fit in one glass of homemade decaf sweet tea with supper if I really want it. At restaurants I'll get water with lemon or lime, or unsweet tea or diet soda if I have to have something else (but I am trying to cut back on artificial sweeteners!). Decaf coffee occasionally as well, or a latte made with skim milk.

    I am in the same boat as you...plus, I do not drink milk, juice, or any artificial sweeteners so diet anything is a no go. I was so tired of spending money on club soda that I purchased the soda stream. AMAZING BUY!!! Now I can make my own club soda and flavor it with citrus fruits, cucumbers, berries, mint, basil, jalapeño....

    Water, Water, Water....but some days I struggle, especially weekends.

    I tend to have No Added Sugar dilute drinks to help my SWEET TOOTH.

    Pretty much everything is TRACE
