Hi Zomble...thanks for that.
I figured it probably did not count towards water total, simply because of the minimal food intake....but worth asking.
I am going to try and be a "purist" as I want to change my behaviour overall, so best stick to the rigidness of the program and learn what there is to learn about myself.
I just fancy a nice cold drink - usually diet coke - at the end of the day. I don't drink alcohol ever, so that is my vice. But I will sacrifice it happily for a slimmer self! Besides, its got to be horrible for me anyway.
I will aim to maybe just have one ice tea a day, and the rest water. I plan to drink still water during the day at work, and fizzy water at home in the evenings. Assuming fizzy water is allowed? I know sometime carbonation is not allowed.
In fact - how do most of you get through your water? Do you time it and say have a glass every hour? Or do you chug a lot of it all at once? Seems an awful lot of water to drink in one day, and I don;t want to be drinking the bulk of it at night or I will be up all night, if you get my drift!!
So what has worked for you all?
Out of curiosity - how come sweetners are OK in tab form and not in powder form??
