WHAT CAN I DRINK?

[T25Tasha]

I start my diet Monday but I am really worried about what I can drink, I know it sounds strange but I cant drink water on its own. I always add squash.

What squash can I add to make it more apetising without taking me out of ketosis??

thanks for your advise, Tasha

You cant have ANY squash unfortunately. You can drink water, tea, coffee (no milk) and thats about it Im afraid

I drink green tea and chamomile tea, icy water is better

I brought the water flavourings from a cambridge councellor so use those, going to buy some mix a mousse from her too

As above ^^^^^

I like water really cold (and in a bottle lol) must admit to a splash of milk in tea or coffee!

 

[x Nee x]

can you add sweetners to tea and coffee?

 

[Bernice]

Hi there yes you can as long as it is in tablet form. You can also add them to the shakes as well if you like and it does improve them quite a bit. xx

I used to drink peppermint tea when I was on LL, and it didn't seem to affect ketosis at all.

I believe your ok as long as its a green leaf tea...I seem to recall being told that fruit teas are a no no...
I definately agree ...the water has to be as cold as possible!!! xxx

you can also have coke zero which is a bonus from drinking all that water

What's the difference between ASDA diet coke and Coca-Cola Diet Coke? :/

What's the difference between ASDA diet coke and Coca-Cola Diet Coke? :/

One has citric acid and one has malic acid
Citric acid is a big no no!

 

[Starlight]

And you get about 20 gallons of asda stuff for the price if diet coke

Ah, ok. Thanks!

 

[shona1968]

It has to use malic acid not citric acid and I presume diet coke has citric.

 

[Julie2011]

You can't have anything with citric acid in it.

Coke Zero and Dr Pepper Zero don't contain citric acid, so they are okay.
However, Diet Coke and Pepsi Zero are not okay, because they contain citric acid.

For anything else in the fizzy drink/squash range, check the label.

Hope that helps.
