Water ugh

I like fruit waters.

Go to pinterest for some recipes.

I found the Apple + Cinammon stick one very good. The Basil and Strawberry is also good but be sure to use FRESH basil and not the stuff from McCormicks (true personal stupidity story there).

Fresh Mint and a Lime is also really good!

I added ginger and lime to my water this week and really enjoyed it. I filled a quart jar water and added sliced ginger and small wedges of lime and let it marinate over night.

Crystal light. It's only 5 calories.

Me too, I do not like water. When I eat fresh vegetables and then drink water I get a uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.
I have found when out to eat , it is better to have it iced and a squeeze of lemon or lemon slice in it.
Before I had a decade long habit of drinking a soft drink with my meal( Contributed to unnecessary calories and sodium).
But the Bicarbonate in the soft drink actually settled my stomach as it went to work digesting.
Solution= flavored waters or Crystal Light type drinks which are 0 calorie.
Good Luck its a lifestyle change.

We keep a pitcher with infuser in it in the fridge at all times.

Fill the infuser with whatever fruit is on hand and boom flavoured water!

ETA : Strawberry/kiwi is by far my favorite flavour!

Celestial Seasonings Iced tea made this way: Pick a strongly flavoured tea like True Blueberry, Cinnamon Apple Spice, Lemon Zinger, etc. Put 3 bags in a heat proof pitcher, 2-3 litres boiling water over top. Leave in fridge overnight and there you have it. Real tasty no cal ice tea, or flavoured water if you dilute further. No sweetener needed because the flavour is awesome.

You don't need to follow the guidelines for water consumption to lose weight. If you use the search feature on mfp you will find hundreds of threads about water. Some of them are quite funny. The bottom line is that it's just not necessary. If you're thirsty have a drink of what you like, and consider eating more lettuce or other fruits and vegetables that are mostly water. All the foods we eat contain water.

If you need to hydrate when you exercise and even then don't like to drink water, use lemon, make a pot of herbal tea and refrigerate it, add one of those powders you can buy that are designed for people like you who don't like water, or drink gatorade if you want.

My suggestion is not to worry too much a out it now. If this is all new to you, just focus on the basics: caloric intake, macros, and exercise if you choose to exercise.

I don't like drinking water much either. I'm really bad about going an entire day and only drinking coffee, then switching to alcohol at night. Yikes! I pretty much have to tell myself to suck it up and drink those eight glasses too!

I will say- for some reason I LOVE cucumber water. A pitcher with an infuser is definitely a good investment for those of us who don't particularly enjoy drinking water.

I'll just leave this here: http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8glasses.asp

Soda, coffee, juice, soup, etc. all contribute to your daily hydration, as does the liquid present in a majority of fruits and vegetables. . . or even meats. There's nothing magical about 8 glasses a day, or about H2O that's been separated from other ingredients in terms of hydration.

Thank you. Something I always knew had to be true, but never bothered to search and find out.
