    I have been participating in a medically supervised nutrition program since last October. They recommend 64 ounces of fluids per day with the following requirements: NO CARBONATION, NO CAFFEINE, 10 CALORIES OR LESS per 8 ounces.

    That said, I can drink Mio but watch to not get the Mio Energy variety if you are avoiding caffeine. I have also drank Propel Zero, Sobe Zero and Vitamin Water Zero... likewise, watch out for Vitamin Water Zero having at least one energy flavor that has caffeine. Decaf tea and decaf coffee were allowed with sugar substitutes. I really like the Vitamin Water Zero lemonade flavor the best. Crystal Light has some great flavors too...try the Mojito! I only drink my "water" cold or hot or iced decaf tea, never luke warm.

    You might also enjoy infusing water with fresh mint, lavender, ginger, sliced lemon, lime or orange, etc. Bruise your herbs to release the oils.

    I never have a problem getting in my 64 ounces with the flavor varieties that I have available and because I'm exercising a lot, so my body is demanding fluids.

    As others have said, drinking water does fill you up, curbs cravings and will do wonders for your skin. So yes, I think a full 64 ounces a day is beneficial.

    I struggled at first, but now I think my body thinks it is part fish. Start slow. If you feel like you are having to force yourself to drink water you won't want to. Once I bought myself a couple of refillable bottles, and keep them filled all day, just sipping from them every now and then, I now drink plenty of water. On the occasions when I don't get as much water and start getting dehydrated, I feel bad.
