What to drink?

  • Hey guys. New here! Well I have a question. I absolutely DO NOT like drinking water. But I do know that I HAVE to drink it. What I was wondering is if I can drink something else too. I can't drink soda, diet or otherwise. I have been drinking it for way to long and just need to stop all together. I love Lipton's instant tea, you know the powder-ish stuff that you just stir in water. Well I looked at the ingredients and it said "tea and maltodextrin", well I remember reading something online before about it being a form of sugar, plus it is a sort of chemical so that is bad. I don't know, anyone have any thoughts on it? Thanks!

  • I don't like water in a plastic bottle, but ever since I got my Sigg bottle, I can't get enough. It keeps it cool and clean tasting. Other than that, you should try the juice on 1 lemon in 1q water with sweetener of your choice. I like stevia in the raw. Good luck!
  • I absolutley hated water too. But over time you WILL get used to it. You will even begin to crave it. It just takes time.
  • I was the same way when I first started...I would drink ANYTHING but water...Now, I ALWAYS have a water bottle with me...at first you just have to MAKE yourself drink it....maybe have that as a challenge?? I agree with mulder you'll eventually get used to it...and you could try adding the lemon and sweetner...they also have the little crystal light packets...which I carry in my purse in case I have to use tap water (gag) instead of bottled water...it makes it taste better lol You can get 2-3 small bottles of water out of one packet depending on how sweet you wante it...def a trial and error thing
  • I have to make myself drink water. yuk! Just drink it. Just drink it. Just drink it. I think of it as medicine, and just drink it.
  • I don't mind water but I forget to drink it so always have a full glass or two about the house to remind me!
  • Green tea, I dont like drinking water in the winter time for some strange reason. So in place of it I try to drink green tea all day without anything in it I also have a cup of soy milk about twice a week as long as it fits in my calorie budget. When I work out I always drink water though its the only thing that quinch my thurst
  • You have to learn how to like water. Try adding lemom or lime or something to the water so it will have a flavor. If you still dont want to tea is another alternative.. Other than diet soda and crystal light and such I cant think of anything else.
