We have all heard about how important it is to drink water, especially for weight loss. I try very hard not to "drink" my calories. With the exception of occasional coffee drinks, I try to drink zero-calorie drinks, such as water, iced tea, diet soda, Crystal Light, etc.
Other than water, most zero-calorie drinks are full of caffeine and/or chemicals. It is important to drink these drinks in moderation--no more than 1 or 2 a day.
I love drinking sparkling water. LaCroix makes a great sparkling water in an assortment of flavors. Lemon, lime, berry, grapefruit, orange and cran-raspberry sparkling water is a nice change from plain filtered water.
To take it up a notch, add a splash of fruit juice to your sparkling water. Pomegranate, cranberry and grape are my favorites. POM Wonderful makes a variety of pomegranate juices, such a pom-blueberry, etc. Just a little splash will add a few calories to your drink, but also offers antioxidants, vitamins and great flavor.
Enjoy creating your own flavors of water!
