I knew this would cause some controversy. What she said was that it's ok as a treat but you shouldn't use it solely as your daily water quota.
The beverages *allowed* on LT is a different issue to your water quota, that's not what she was implying. Yes, fizzy water is allowed, but shouldnt be used as your 4 pints per day.
Jules - I'm totally with you, I need my bubbles!!!
i'm with you also...I take plain during day and fizzy at home in evening...not great at keeping at the water intake so since fizzy is more pleasant I rather take it to increase my levels......just noticed above post and could I commend cookeh's commitment to her weight loss...a mere 3.4 lbs gain after the death of your dad & christmas.....many would have collapsed after that but well done you for getting back on track after 5 weeks...good luck with your journey
