    Buy a pitcher or water bottle that you can infuse fruit in... look on amazon, they have a few. Lemons, mint, berries... anything to give the water a natural flavoring should help you out!

    But....but.....all the sugar.......

    hey hun, im lucky because I love water.....but since you don't Nestle purelife bottle water is the "cleanest" water got a B rating and most bottled water got D or Fs..... purest water is regular filitatered tap water, but if you struggle with drinking it, I notice I drink more using bottled water, since each bottle is over 2 cups, you only have to drink 4, so that's easy, before you eat or drink anything in the AM make it a habbit to drink at least one full bottle of water, that's what I do. good luck hun, u also might have to chug it, LOL

    I agree about trying non-cold water. I actually drink hot water, but that's weird to most people. Also, for me the more I drink, the more thirsty I seem to get...so my body reminds me when I slack off. Just make it your goal, and you can do it! Good Luck!

    I had a hard time drinking my water when I first started MFP but all I do is have a glass beside me ALL the time and when it's empty, I refill it right then. Because I see it, I drink it. And because I've made it a habit to refill it as soon as it's empty, I do it without thinking about it now. Plus, when it IS empty, I find myself wanting more!

    Another thing that has helped me is carrying around a nalgene (32oz)...again because I can see it I drink it. Just make sure to fill it up a second time when the first one is gone and then you're good!

    fruit is loaded with sugar and sugar makes you fat. That's what I heard.

    Water makes up 60% of the human body and 80% of the human brain. It also comprises 70% of the Earth's surface. If you hate water, might I suggest becoming a non-carbon based life form and moving planets?

    Nope your body knows what to do with natural sugars from fruits and veggies when you add simple sugars aka table sugar corn syrup ect it is not sure what to use it for since it has no nutritional value and converts it to fat cells. That is what your body does with anything its not sure what to do with or sends it to the liver

    OK, Metabolically speaking can you explain to me how the body handles sugars from fruits differently than those from table sugar? I just want to make sure I understand before eating lbs of fruit.

    There is caffiene in green tea, less than in black tea but still there. If you can't handle caffeine or have an allergy all ways look for caffeine free green tea.

    Sorry for butting in, but...the body processes frustose and table sugar in essentially the same way. The idea with fruit is that it is a food that provides water, vitamins, minerals, etc., along with the sugar, all in a low calorie package. It's really not that much sugar.
