When I go into a convience store or even a grocery store I'm challenged by the choices. I'm 5 weeks out today and the dieticians or NUTs as some of you refer to them as(lol) , don't offer very much help other than "stick to the plan" we gave you. The plan calls for water or sugerfree packets in water. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Isopure is a better goto because it has 40grams of Protein per bottle. I am not too keen on the flavors, but I think it's better than the sf drinks because you are getting protein. Get a few bottles at GNC and pour over ice and sip through the day. Not bad at all.

Okay, I'm over Isopure, lol. I will still sip it but it's hard to get it all in in one day. It's freaking difficult to get in 60-90 grams of Protein in a day when you're only taking in liquid. Sheeesh. I'll make it though. I know I feel a LOT better when I get my protein. What do the beginner sleevers do for protein? I'm just curious.

I found some chicken stock with 9gms protein. It's something different.

Summer time..My favorites right now.....

Mix Crystal light sweet tea & Chrystal light blackberry lemonade together in Water and Ice. I have even added a few fresh blackberries to my glass.

Lime juice, Water, Lots of ice, Stevia and fresh mint mixed with water..Garnish with slices of lime....Virgin Mojito

Great value tropical pineapple coconut lime.

If you want to get some Protein in with your water- Isopure makes flavored water. Sample it first to see if you like it.

Bai5 I like mango, but it comes in several flavors. Sweetened with Erithritol, and does have some caffeine.

Celestial seasonings peach tea is my go to as well as diet peach Snapple

I like to add the those single serve crystal lights packets to a 32oz bottle of water so it's not to sweet. I usually get the Walmart great values brand since there like half the price.

Be careful with the pre made ice teas like Snapple and Arizona, even though there sugar free they have a a lot of preservatives and can stall your success, my wife learned this the hard way when she stopped drinking the weight began dropping again.

Crystallight orange! Omg... I'm hooked! Lol... it tastes like orange juice!

Vitamin Water zero (lemon!) when in a pinch

Unsweetened green tea at Starbucks

Sweet leaf sweeteners in my purse make all beverages better

Lemon, grapefruit, lime, or orange oil in iced water with sweet leaf

Cucumber slices in water is amazing too!
