To drink flavored waters like Fruit O2 and/or Propel in Phase I? How about red potatoes?

The book says as much water as you want, but no juice...so it feels like a shady spot. Same thing with red potatoes...they're a veggie, but the book says no white potatoes.


DH's definitely on board with me this time (he's got to lose weight for re-enlistment, muahaha) and these are some questions I wasn't able to answer. Right now we're erring on the side of caution, but being able to drink flavored water will help the no-juice rule a lot!

Thanks for your help.

The flavored waters should be fine. Red skinned potatoes are still white potatoes, so would not be allowed.

Congrats on getting your DH involved!

Good luck

Dr. Ian said no flavored waters in his forum Q&A but I drank them anyway I got sick of drinking plain ol' water.

I consider any liquid that is sugar, calorie, carb and caffeine free to count as water. Juice wouldn't count because it has cals, carbs and sugar. But the sugarless, calorie-free mix ins should be ok.
