Lately I have been taking a inside look at peoples food diaries and well it amazes me to see that either #1 EVERYBODY is on the only drinking water wagon or #2 that people who do drink things such as soda, coffees, juice, milk, beer etc. do not count those items into their diaries. Start adding in those drinks people because you will be AMAZED to see just how many calories you are drinking and how much added sugar you are adding to your daily diet! :wink:

    I can't believe people would leave that out! I mostly drink water throughout the day, but when I occasionally have coffee or tea I always add it in. I hardly ever drink cokes.

    I only drink water...which is still sort of new for me...I can't drink pop due to health reasons, can't drink milk cuz I am lactose intolerant, don't like coffee/tea...so other than really sugary juices that add pointless calories, that leaves water!! But I totally agree with you!

    I have had about 6 total pepsi's since August 2010.I have had a few sprites or root beers. Caffeine is addictive and I have an addictive personality so bad combination so try to stay away from it as much as possible. Water is my drink of choice now and I drink about 2-2 1/2 liters of water a day.

    Well if you are on a 1200 - 1500 cal a day diet, there really isn't room for anything to drink that has calories. I only drink water and hot tea and maybe fat free milk now and then.

    Thats why I only drink water....I don't need or want the extra calories other beverages add. Plus the diet sodas are soooo bad for you!

    I totally agree! People don't realize what's in their drinks nowadays! It's pretty bad!

    I know that I don't generally pay attention to beverages, so I made a separate section in my food diaries for Drinks. Since then, I've been drinking a lot more water, that's for sure. :)

    i could not think to leave those things out! While i don't drink soda, but coffee (with milk) beer (I TRY to drink lower calorie beer, but ....), even my home made gatorade - it all adds up - I cannot imagine not logging them!

    I'm a water and decaf/unsweetened tea gal. If I "drink them"...it's usually a smoothie, non-fat skim latte, or wine. And I do account for them.

    I report my Pepsi (man, how I love it!) though I am doing way better. I was drinking one a day, then stopped completely, felt deprived, now have about 3 a week. I have food allergies, so soda is my concession. No wheat, no dairy, no yeast. So I allow myself the Pepsi.

    No need to add iced tea if it's unsweetened.

    I decided a long time ago that I'd rather chew my calories than drink them. I drink tea or coffee occasionally (no milk), and juice on occasion but more water than anything. I've never really been a soda drinker and I can't get over how much some people I know regularly drink!
