i have recently started to diet to get healthy day 11 have lost 7lb on the first week but i have taken a shine to soda water with fresh fruit in, is this a bad thing as having 2 much soda & it can be 2 gassy, i don't want to have the bloated feeling or should i just fill up with normal water. ( not that keen on normal water & i don't like the flavoured bottle waters.

    have you tried adding fruit, fresh herbs or cucumber to your water/ Lots of great ideas for flavoring your water if you look up detox water. I know in the summer time (and for a nice treat I will slice up lemon, lime and oranges and layer tem in my glass (give a little squeeze to get the juice going as well. A friend of mine got me hooked into cucumber, strawberries and mint (or cilantro leaves) in one. Frozen fruit (love sliced grapes) works pretty good to replace ice cubes and flavor water. I get to gassy from the carbonation, so I look for alternatives.

    Love sparkling water - cheaper than still water here. Drink more than 1litre per day with no problems. Bubble, bubble, bubble.

    I would never have thought of this! Do you just buy some grapes stick them in freezer then chop them in half and put in your water? Also can you eat them when you finisb your water or are they all mushed up?

    The only "bad" thing about the soda water would be this "bloated feeling" you're getting. I find plain sparkling water/carbonated water better than soda water (it has salt added for flavour) as far as bloating goes - maybe try changing, you won't notice much difference.
