  • I very much dislike diet soda and low cal Slurpees from 7-11. It is my weakness and I need help with it being summer I need some suggestions for a sweet drink that isn't pop or Slurpees I'm like a 2 ltr a day person!!
  • Fruit smoothies? You can control how much you put in to make sure it isn't a large amount of calories. Very refreshing.
  • i like seltzer with a splash of lemonade, or just a lime or lemon.
  • I hear ya. I haven't had either in a few weeks However, stay with it a week and you will feel a difference. They are loaded with calories and fat.
  • Find & brew a really nice herbal tea, sweeten with stevia (or other sweetener of choice), allow to cool, have over ice?
  • sparkling water tastes great!
  • mineral water! with a dash of pineapple or orange juice.....

    Yes,I would think so. I've done it with peppermint. Yogi Teas are really nice. Lipton also do a lovely apple & cinnamon herbal tea. Just experiment
  • I completely Agree!!! I totally have cravings for Puff Cheetos and Pina Colda Slurpees!

    That sounds fantastic I can't wait to try it
  • The new pina colada and watermelon slurpees are amazing!!! I tried the strawberry banana sugarfree one, and while it was also good, I had headaches after each one, I think probably due to the sucralose. So it's back to the full sugar ones - in moderation of course.
  • Definitely fruit smoothies, blend up the whole fruit with water, milk, ice...... very good and good for you.

    Also, iced coffee with cinnamon and or nutmeg is good.

    Home made iced tea is the best - you can mix and match teas as you like...
  • I JUST had a diet Fanta this morning. Its a bit of a nasty habit I am forming because I'm just not in a good place right now. But what I've been doing is limiting myself to one can and not a bottle if I want it and max 1 a day. So its better than chugging a ton of em?
