Re: can't stand sweet anything

[Guest guest]

My doctor said the same thing that other liquids also can hydrate

you. Thats whats so nice about some of the protein drinks too. The

one thing the dr and nutrionist warned me about was caffeine. It's

okay for me to have a little coffee BUT I cannot count it towards my

water because the caffiene can dehydrate you. Anyways, its good to

try different drinks till you find what works for you and what

tastes good. WLS isn't suppose to be torture to our taste buds.

LOL (Just smaller quantities)

i don't know... room temp or ice cold, it just seems " heavy " . the

tea is working out great (for now). i also found some flavored

waters... they are NOT sweetened, just have essence of things like

melon, cucumber-lemon, etc... it's called " smart water " - i found it

at the health food store. i like the cucumber-lemon one, but it is

pricey... $1.19 per 20oz bottle - so i can't make a habit of these,

but they are yummy and hydrating!
