    ETA: Just try to increase your water intake slowly. See if the filtered or bottled purified water tastes better. Its kind of a hard concept for me to grasp that anyone can dislike water since its pretty much very essential to us but... try to increase it by adding those low calorie flavor powder into your water or some lemon into it?

    I am constantly drinking water. Soda tastes too thick to me now.

    You have to start small....find a way to incorporate water into your day. Maybe you drink a 4 oz tumbler before you exit the bathroom.

    I had a hard time getting my water intake to increase but now I really enjoy it, and look forward to my refilled bottles!

    I have not issues drinking water a lot. Of course it occasionally has to be passed through some coffee grounds first. That, and I like to have it blended with some grains & malts and fermented first too.

    Ah that makes sense. Well, you can always keep some calories aside for soda. I usually like to keep some calories in my diary for "naughties" so for me, soda would fall into that. If the soda can fit into your calories, then why not drink some soda?

    Another option is, if you can't find the calories for it, to workout some extra the day yo plan to go out and drink soda. You allow yourself to eat (or drink in this case) more by working out

    Or, simply reduce your calorie deficit on MFP. For example, if you have set your goal to lose 2 lbs a week, change it to 1 lb per week and drink those extra calories. Slower weight loss but you still get to enjoy what you like and get decent weight loss results too

    Good luck in your goals :)

    I add some MIO in my water and it helps tremendously. I don't know if they sell it in supermarkets. I think they do but I get mine off of Amazon.com. Good luck!

    I can't stand drinking water unless I'm working out which is pretty new to me. I drink a lot of loose leaf tea and more fruit juice than I should. I put extra water in my shakes.
