    so i cant tell if its healthy or not lol
    There is no one single answer to 'Healthy'. For some on here, it might be a high calorie drink. For others, something with no aspartame etc in - for many it's something like Diet Coke, because it gives them the caffiene boost to keep them going while helping them achieve their overall goal of having a leaner body.

    I never understand these hate water people

    clean water has no taste..there is no taste to hate

    to get enough water in your system each day takes literally less than 10 seconds a few times a day

    you people can talk yourselves into anything

    you act like drinking some water is climbing a mountain in a blizzard

    quit making it such a big deal

    :drinker:

    To me, there's nothing like a glass of water when I'm thirsty.

    I used to drink a lot of soft drinks and found it hard to drink water....initially...

    I started with sparkling water but now I love non-carbonated water

    My natural thirst has returned....thank god

    I drink EXTEND by Scivation which is a bran Chain Amino Acid. NO Calories and great replacement for gatoraide as well.

    I drink a lot of sparkling water - Perrier, Mendota Spring, La Croix, etc. I find that it's not as 'boring' as plain water and yet doesn't have much in it. I recently got a soda stream home carbonation machine and really like that too. I gave up all soda about 5 weeks ago, which totally sucked inasmuch as I LOVE soda, but I do feel better. I just read too much bad/frightening stuff about artificial sweeteners and/or soda (the stroke connection is the one that actually made it up, although the connection between soda - regular OR diet - and increased obesity also helped) to keep it up. I still miss it; God knows I miss it terribly! But the sparkling water has helped a lot and, like one of the posters above, my taste for water is coming back. Thankfully.

    My gym just posted a recipe for additions to water that actually sounds good:

    it’s very easy to make: in water add 1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced, 1 lemon, thinly sliced, 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger and around 10 spearmint leaves.
    leave in the fridge for a few hours or overnight and in the morning you’ll have a cold and really refreshing drink

    I'm just waiting for someone to ask if these water substitutes count as part of their daily water intake...

    I'm sure this has been stated before but I keep a bag of pre-cut citrus fruit in my fridge for my water (and also to squeeze on my fruit in the morning YUM). I'm much more likely to drink a ton of water this way.

    Drink whatever lo/zero call drink you feel like, same difference. If you like natural, drink one of the natural suggestions, if you like chemical and easily found drinks, do that. No difference in the long run.

    But fruit in your water. I swear by it. My favorites are cucumbers, and lemon/limes, and strawberries. Just get a big jug, fill it with water, add your fruit, let it steep for a few hours in the fridge, and VOILA, flavored water with little-to-no calories. :) Just be sure to keep the water cold-ish, or the water gets kind of a bad taste.

    :D I agree!!! I have a pitcher with an infuser thing. I have yet to try it, but I am planning to do it with strawberries!

    I made a post similar to this, ppl told me that flavored water has artificial sweeteners which are bad for you :( So im sticking with water/tea with honey(you can add lots of ice to it and make ice tea)/pomegranate juice(watered down since is so strong) :D

    Whoa.

    Whatever happened to personal preferences?

    I can't stand peas, are you going to berate me too?

    Water isn't supposed to be exciting in taste, just hydrating in purpose. That's all my body cares about!

    One makes the little guy grow.
    One makes your wallet shrink.

    Both are BS.

    I balked at lemon slices in water until I actually tried it. But then, lemons are a pain in the butt ((to me)) to keep stocked, sliced, washing knife, etc, etc....My family drinks sugar free walmart brand lemonade. I make my tall cup of ice water and leave a 1/2 inch at the top to add a splash of the lemonade. :) Voila. Just enough flavor to take out the plain water, and not so much that you are drinking something other than water. :)
