question
I hate drinking plain water, so I bought some of the sugar free drink
packets to add flavor to the water. Question: On the drink packets' box it states that it is a soft drink mix. So, can I still count it as water or do I have to consider it as a drink? I'm sorry if I didn't make all of the clear. Thanks |

question
If you are refering to something like Crystal Lite that is sugar free then
yes count it towards your water requirement. Any sugar free, caffine free drink can be counted towards your water. But the 8 Healthy Guidelines does say you can use these as substitutes for half of your water. How about trying sparkling water for the other half of your requirement? Or alternative plain water with a flavored glass? "Jackie" wrote in message ... I hate drinking plain water, so I bought some of the sugar free drink packets to add flavor to the water.

question
Really? The books says "feel free to count caffine-free, sugar-free
beverages, like caffine-free tea and sugar-free lemonade- but only for half of your intake." I took this as caffine-free AND sugar-free. "Willow Herself" wrote in message ...

question
I'll have to check my old books. I gave them to DD. {yeah, I know, wishful
thinking on my part} It makes sense. Who wants a 100 - 120 decaf soda like Sprite to count as water. That, to me, defeats the purpose of water. All that sugar is not good for you either. Isn't that another one of the 8HG to limit sugar? "Willow Herself" wrote in message t... If so that's a new thing... it never had to be sugar free before.. Will` "Laura" wrote in message ... Really?
