If I drink tea with no sugar or the FUZE drinks with no sugar, does this count as drinking any water for me?

    No. H2o is water . That's it.

    it only counts if you jump up and down while drinking it, to make sure it gets in your water belly and not your food belly.

    I too wonder this. I just don't like drinking water. I have never really drank anything except a couple cups of tea each day and maybe one bottle of water on workout days. Is it possible some people just need less?

    Posting this just because I wanted to be on the first page of these countless "does this count as water" threads, as if the big SEARCH button was broken or some thing. :smokin:

    Woohoo! Now I can scratch another topic off my MFP bucket list: "Things I wanted to do on MPF"

    the rule of thumb I have always heard is 'water is only water until you add something to it, then it is no longer water.'

    Then what is it?
    My guess is, it's magic.
    Can I interest you in some Q-Ray bracelets?

    So there's no H2O in the bottle?

    Absolutely not this ever. Your body takes water from anything you put in it with water- eat cucumbers and the body benefits from the high water content. Even caffeinated beverages are not diuretic enough to countereffect the water they provide. I wouldn't do the FUZE personally because I avoid sweeteners other than stevia based sweeteners. But tea? Of course fresh brewed unsweet tea counts as water to your body.

    Here's a novel idea...

    Drink when you're thirsty
    Weather it's water/tea/coffee/Gatorade...Just drink when you're thirsty


    Don't over think it..
