I really REALLY hate the taste of water and have tried all sorts of things this bottle filters as you drink and really does make tap water taste better :-)

Try drinking it cold and after eating something minty (chewy, tic tac) or after brushing your teeth. After a while you won't need the mint anymore - I did this and now I drink mostly water and only the occasional herbal tea. Persevere - you'll get there. Good luck.

It was a struggle with me as well. I used to hate water. Now I drink about 8 bottles a day.
What I did, is I took those little "Mio" water flavoring products and I would start with making it taste nothing like water.
I gradually squeezed less, and less. Until it was just colored water.
Eventually I didn't even need the Mio, unless I was thirsty for something with flavor.

It works just fine, because Mio has no calories.

Water is a very important thing. I realize that now. Especially since my muscles are harder than ever. lol

same problem here, I mostly never feel thirsty and can go days without any water.

Tips to get over:
1. Start with drinking half a cup of water first thing in the morning and keep increasing the quantity. First 2 weeks you'll hate it! but then gradually you'll look forward to it. My stomach feels cooler after the first glass of water.
2. In the evening, put a kettle to boil and add 7-8 cumin/Fennel seeds in water. Let it boil for about 6-7 minutes, by then the flavor would have seeped in water. Sip this water until you sleep, this will greatly help in digestion(a common practice in Southern India)
3. Very recently, I had read a thread on MFP on creating apple water used in detox diet. Try googling for the recipe or look in the recipe forum.
4. Drink spiced buttermilk. Simply dilute the yogurt and add salt, ground roasted cumin, crushed coriander leaves or even chopped green chilies if you like.If nothings available, only salt & pepper will also do. Good for digestion & loads of liquid.
5. Natural coconut water if you can find it.
6. Savory lemonade - lemon, salt, ground cumin & if possible, a little mint!

All the above are natural drinks with no sugar and hopefully no side effects I hope you try them!

Good tips. Thanks for posting them. I'm not a huge fan of water, but will implement a few of the suggestions.

Tea, coffee, fruit juice, milk, soup... your body nether knows nor cares where the H2O molecules come from or what they're mixed with.

Use the Crystal light flavor packages, it will really help get your fluid intake. FYI makes me go to the rest room alot flushing kidneys which is a good thing.:laugh:

We don't get Crystal Light here in the UK :sad:

So when I visit the US I always try to bring lots home as its much better than anything we have here :drinker:

When I was in school I only drank milk. So I made this rule, that after I had one glass of water I could have one glass of milk with lunch.

Now I like water... And I've mostly stopped drinking milk cause drinking my calories is pretty stupid and low fat milk is gross.

I like water but I tend to forget to drink enough.

Try ...
having a drink when you first get up in the morning, before anything else - usually your body needs fluid so give it water - you will drink it before you know it.
using tea bags - there are a zillion out there - green tea with a few flakes of chilli is pretty good - jasmine, chinese, fruity, heaps!!
Put a small glass in the fridge, drink it whenever you can, fill it up for next time
Keep a water bottle on your desk / where ever you are during the day
Keep an insulated water bottle in the car, drink when you are at red lights
Take a water bottle with you when you walk
Put ice in it
Make icypoles out of it!
Put lemon slices in it
Put fizzy vitamin tablets in it - Berocca, Hairy Lemon, etc - makes it sort of like a fizzy drink
Use a small glass and often
Get a water filter / jug / if your tap water isn't very nice.
If you search on the forums I am sure I saw a thread about flavoured waters you can make.
I personally don't like the taste of diet cordials but they might help you?

Tell yourself you LIKE water! If you look at something in a negative way, like it is some disgusting medicine, then you naturally won't want it. Tell yourself it is water, pure, your body needs it, your brain needs it, it is good for you.

ditto what @BerryH says - fluid is fluid.

Also found this from a previous thread:

Core two small apples, whichever kind you prefer, and slice them up and put them into a 2L jug with two cinnamon sticks. Fill the jug halfway with ice and then fill the rest with water. (I like to leave mine in the fridge over night so the flavor circulates longer).

To my surprise, it was delicious, it tastes a bit like apple pie but ZERO calories! (Unless you eat the apple from the bottom afterwards )

I've been drinking it the past week and I've felt a huge change in my body. Apple and Cinnamon are well known to heighten your metabolism.

For all you who are not a fan of drinking water, try this! It's a healthy, natural, sugar free way to add flavor to your water.

(I've also tried boiling the apple and cinnamon before putting it in my jug, it really releases the flavor more!)
