Let's Do Lunch Community

I drink lots of water, sometimes water with lemon, water with lime, have even tried water with a squeeze of orange, but my favourite right now is to put a handful of berries (raspberry strawberries, or blueberries) in a jug of water, (some berries need to be mashed a bit) and then stir, and drink when cold,(use Ice Cubes),  also my smoothies in the morning

Hi Gander and welcome -  yes please come join us.

I stick with water as much as possible. If I am out I have seltzer with lime or diet coke. the DC should be in limited quantities but Roger says it is OK. I sometimes need it for a shot of caffeine, especially since I cano't drink my coffee black.

Water...all the way!  I love it, can drink bottle or glass after bottle or glass (whatever the case may be).  MMMM.

Welcome Gloria. The only thing I drink is very cold water.  I love diet cokes but I have not had but 1 since I started this WOE and I don't even want them now.. I occassionally have a smoothie for breakfast but other than that I only have water.

hI I AM ALSO NEW I STARTED LAST MONDAY AND I HAVE TO SAY I DID WEIGH MYSELF TODAY AND FOUND I GAINED 3 LBS, BUT I WILL STAY ON THE DIET. I DRINK CRYSTAL LITE GREEN MANGO ICE TEA. LOVE IT. CAROL

I drink tea all day. In the morning, black tea. The rest of the day green tea. I can't stand sweetened tea so that's just perfect for LDL. I do drink water with lemon too. Weaned myself off the diet coke after many, many years. It started making me a little fuzzy, probably the nutra sweet.

I drink black coffee in the mornings, and ice water the rest of the day.  Sometimes I put lemon in it. I have never been a soda drinker so soda was not a problem for me. 

*I drink 1 cup of black coffee first thing in the morning. (Not because I want it; but because it was prescribed by a neurologist. Ugh!)
*Sometimes I drink tea sweetened with Stevia.
*Mostly I drink water (usually plain; occasionally with lemon, sometimes with a 1 Tbsp Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar and sweetened with Stevia).

I drink 1 cup of coffee in the morning, then its iced tea and water the rest of the day.  I drink all kinds of tea, but mostly green tea.  The coffee has splenda and skim milk in it and I also put splenda in the tea.  Of course I also have smoothies made from various fruits and juices, yummers!  I have had only 2 diet cokes while on this way of eating, and that was while traveling.

For the most part I stick with water. I do drink oj in my smoothies and the occasional soda when I have a mixed drink. Over never been a big soda drinker so it was east to let those go. In fact, I think I've only had three diet sodas over the last month. I did buy some of the diet green tea but have not tried it yet.

I usually drink decaf green tea or Perrier flavored with lemon or lime.

    I drink green tea and water.

Can someone refresh my memory about black coffee.  Are there supposed to be limitations on it? 

Hi All..

i drink coffee with splenda and a touch of skim milk in the morning and then water all day long.  It's been about two months since i gave up caffeine free diet pepsi.....

i'm going to start drinking green tea...The General drinks a cup of it every day...otherwise, he only drinks water..

we love the "neutral" flavor of water and how it goes down so easy....Water...one of God's COOOOOLEST creations!

I always have a cup of decaf in the morning(it's actually about 2 in my cup),then I'm off to work and keep filling my cup with water and ice. I have found that I'm drinking more water these days.
Hugzzz

Good Cold H20!    Always have my water with me (even when they say no food or drinks,  I just say "Doctors Orders!")  And most don't want to mess with an old lady    Occasionally an ice tea w/Splenda when eating out as some waters in restaurants has a "taste  " unless it's bottled.

I do love iced tea.  I make mine in the fridge....two large bags of Luzianne for iced tea, one small bag of Constant Comment, in a 2 quart glass container  of water....brewed cold overnight, it's perfect the next day.

I decided I'd drink more tea and less Diet Lime Coke if I go ahead and sweeten my tea with liquid sucralose.  My son loves it that way, too, so I'll have to buy a new Libby's fridge bottle for my hubby's iced tea.  (No sweetener for him.)  I also like it with lemon, but since it's got a little flavor from teh Constant Comment tea (orange and spice....nice and subtle) I don't HAVE to have lemon...just gotta make sure I keep the ice cube trays filled!

The nice thing about making the tea in the refrigerator, as opposed to sun tea, is that it doesn't turn yucky in a day...although we usually drink it quickly, it might be nearly a week before we finish the pitcher, and you could never do that with sun tea!
