I Hate Water!

Hey everyone! I absolutely hate the taste of water, so i use crystal light. Is it ok to mix it in with my water everyday or should i take breaks from it? If not any advice to make it taste better? Thanks in advance for your support. [=

  • My doc told me I could use Propel as well.. I HATE crystal light!! I don't like the aspertame flavor or after taste it has. Propel grape is my favorite but all of them are good =)

  • I got an infusion pitcher that I love. You put fresh fruit in a basket in the middle of the pitcher and it flavors the water.

If that is what it takes...do it. I only like water when it is ice cold and it doesnt stay that way when we can only take sips. I have about 10 different flavors of crystal light so I dont get tired of one flavor.

I hate water tooooo!!!! and my liquids have to be ice cold, i cant do warm or hot! I use flavoring stuff, or drink low cal G2, 0cal Sobe Lifewater, bai5 (0sugars/carbs/5cal anti oxidant drink from 7-11), etc. throw em in the freezer, or in a blender with some ice to make a slushy, and am going to try putting some in ice cube trays with a tooth pick. Any way you can get your liquids in....

I also only use 1/2 of a packet, it seems too sweet if I use the whole packet. I also have tried the Wal-Mart brand of the packets...they are good too, and cheaper!

Walmart brand is what i use too, crystal light is not cheap enough for me lol. I use two packets for my entire 64 oz. I have a big Water bottle that can hold my entire water intake.

Sobe Lifewater 0 calories still has carbohydrates in it, so I was told not to drink it. Propel Zero has 0 carbohydrates so it's probably a better choice. Black Cherry is pretty good as is Cranberry Lime.

When you have to sip slowly. a trick for keeping your Water icy cold or hot is to use a well-insulated travel mug as a pitcher and a teeny cup (shot glass works well) as your drinking cup. Just keep refilling the small cup as you sip. The Contigo cups do a good job of keeping liquids warm/cold.

I make a 2 gallon jug of Crystal Light Decaf Tea mixed with the CL Lemonade. I drink 2 glasses of that a day, then I still get in 2-3 bottles of ice water. I don't get my daily calories in, is my big issue. I am 3.5 months out, and I only get about 500 calories a day, because I simply am never hungry, and I can't force myself to eat. So, I basically live off water, CL, and Unjury.
