Crystal Light vs. Water?

Recommended Posts

Yup. That's me. I've cut back on my carbonated drinks tremendously since the first of the year. And I've been told that I don't drink NEARLY enough fluids in a day. [:/]



Have you tried just squeezing some lemon or lime or orange in your drink? Much more natural and can improve the taste. I agree with what others have suggested, though ... buy a filter or a filter pitcher. Seattle tap water is great so I don't have to use the filters anymore, but when I lived in LA, this made my water drinkable. Now I use it as a dispenser in my fridge. Those puny little pitchers would never work for me - I'd always be refilling!

Yeah, it was like drinking a tremendously watery version of juice. It wasn't very tasty. B|

I rent. Is a faucet filter removable?

Be sure to pee!



[B]THIS is not a problem for me. Trust me on this. :$

Is it true that as your body gets used to water, you'll have to pee less?



Yes, you *do* adjust after a while...

Ummmm....No! :(

I have to pee a million times a day whether I've drank anything all day or not. B|



Yeah, but you're weird!! :P

By orange, do you mean from an actual orange? I have often wondered what I could add to make my water more flavorful like the raspberry ones.



Yeah I was thinking an actual orange. Although lemon and lime tend to have a more immediate impact, if you slice up oranges and let it sit for a while you can get a really nice citrus water flavor.

The sports drinks you are referring to are loaded with calories because they are either made with sugar or high fructose syrup.



Well...there is a little known sports drink that is sugar free but still has the electrolytes. It's the one I drink because I could do without 150 calories per bottle. :$

Hubby drinks the version that has sugar because he says your body NEEDS sugar if you are exerting a ton (and he does; his workouts are tough).

I just drink the no-calorie version to stay hydrated throughout the day along with my water and teas. If I do actually do an intense workout, I follow his advice and drink the sugared version during the workout only. :)

I don't drink enough water. If I add just a little flavor, that will get me to drink more. Adding a squeeze of real lemon/lime/orange helps. I will also use Crystal Light, but mix it at 1/3 or 1/2 strength. You still get some flavor, but not all the added fake stuff. But I also drink way too much soda instead of water.

There are some that screw on the end of the faucet. The little cartridges can get expensive. I rent as well. I installed one that fits in one of the holes in the kitchen sink. It connects to the water supply under the sink. The initial cost for the dispenser is higher, but the cartridges are much cheaper in the long run. I originally had it at my other apartment, and took it with me when I moved to my present place. They aren't that hard to install. You can also get different cartridges depending on what you want to filter out.
