wATER TASTES BAD- need ideas

[Mizfit]

I am going to be attempting to give up my diet pop habit.. but with that i would not like to rely on aspartame type water, fruit drinks.

Could anyone provide ways to spice water up, beside lemon or lime.

Thanks!

Just change the way you think about water and drinking it.....don't drink something because it tastes nice, just drink when you're thirsty (probably ever other diet soda you drank during the day was for the taste or habbit and not the thirst) and you'll get used to the "taste" of water really soon....and try mixing it with mineral water (with co2) - it gives it a slightly different spin

Try barley, hops and yeast! <-(= beer)

Brita filters work wonders for my water. also, try putting things like orange slices or other fruits to change the flavor a little bit.

cucumbers work well sliced and put in ice water. but why not aspartame M? I love crystal lite

I have ADHD and a natopath actually suggested that aspartame might agrevate it - even though im not aware of it.

I'm testing it out

so your real problem is focusing on the water w/o losing track of what you where doing. only joking. well lack of water will aggrivate you more than anything we need it especially w/ our lifestyle. try the cucumber (in the water)ehhumm

I use hint water, No sugar, no artificial sweeteners and above all tastes great.I really like the Raspberry flavour,mmmmm.

crystal light is always good, depending on which flavor you get it has 0 sodium and 0 calories - and it doesn't taste like those nasty aspartame or sucralose drinks

[brutesinme]

crystal light has aspartame in it.
Mizfit, my best suggestion is perseverence. If you force yourself to drink water and cut out all that diet crap, soon you will start to like the taste water.

ice cold water is the best! seriously, i could drink ice cold water but i would find it hard to drink water at room temp! nothing beats cold cold water!

[whynot960]

I have ben drinking the aquafina flavor splash, they have regular one and carbonated ones they are really great, I love the grape one and the mixed fruit carbonated ones. They do have splenda in them though. but man are they good. 0 calories

When I get beat down by water (which isn't too often), I make sure that I'm chewing some mint flavored gum when I drink it. It helps to dilute the bland taste.

I like water....on the rocks...

ice cold water.

that always seems to satisfy me.

Miz you gotta keep the water in you. I usually drink a 500mL bottle with every meal. That way Im always in a schedule with it and meet my daily requirements as well.

Store bought flavour water. Volvic have a nice range not sure if they are marketed in the US.

Cyrstal like does have aspt. and also has calories.....check the label

However, there are a ton of 0 calories sweetners that use splenda.....I just got this clear stuff (grape and kiwi) that you put in a 16oz water bottle....soooo goood!

I drink very very little water, but prob. 1-2 gallons of sf tang, crystal light, etc......so I'm still pissn every hour....lol

[Flagg]

Er buy cordial? Pink Grapefruit cordial by Robinsons is the best but I dont know if they have that brand in Canada.

i'm seeing a natruropath.

And she is trying to help me clean up my diet - says it might even help with my ADHD and explained to me what the aspartame is doing in your brain

[UberSteroids]

Mineral Water ! Give it a shot! I love it...

[AnabolicAndre]

I brew about half a gallon of peppermint tea or gree tea, and pour it into the other half a gallon. then cool in the fridge great alternative to water.

Im sure you can do it with any other flavor of tea you like.

[cfiler]

They make soda with Splenda now. No asperteme, yet 0 callories. Don't know if that would work for you.

Brita filters or bottled spring water do change the taste of water. I have a water cooler, with a big water jug, and it tastes way better than tap water.

There was once a time when I used to choke down protein shakes just the same as many others. Now I love them, and drink them every day. when I get in the mode of drinking a ton of diet soda I tend not to like water as much, but sometimes you just gotta nut up and do things you don't wanna do, because it's part of the life style we choose. hang in there and drink up

Kool aid and then add whichever sweetener you prefer to it.
I drink the raspberry ice one all the time with sugar twin.
