AlexCold Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Depending on my current diet regimen, but the staples are easy. Black coffee, iced/hot tea, and lots of water. If I want an electrolyte drink, I add Nuun tablets. Very low cal, and plenty of electrolytes without the sugar/fake sugar of sports drinks. If I have the occasional soda, it's usually Coke Zero (or some variety) or Diet Dr. Pepper as these don't taste much different than the genuine product. Honestly, I see no reason to deviate from my staple drinks though. Milk (whole) is the only thing I add if I'm not on a cut.

silvershadows Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 As so many others here have said, water and tea all the way for me. Normally I try to brew green tea in the morning, but on those days when I simply need an extra kick, a short nonfat latte does the trick. I also enjoy unsweetened vanilla almond milk in fruit smoothies. om nom nom. Quote [Currently training for the Hunger Games] Captain's (Battle) Log • Challenge Log Link to post
DarK_RaideR Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Liquids can be a sneaky way to pile up calories without noticing. It took me a while before I realized that milk, fruit juices and other stuff generally considered "healthy" are full of calories just like a meal. Ever since, I stick with water and black coffee, maybe the occasional tea. 1 Quote Lvl 44 Ranger HEY! DO YOU LIKE CHEESE? Link to post

I was so surprised when I found that out. 1 Quote Bulkin' like a Vulcan. Lift strong and prosper. Daily Gains Fitness Link to post
Brawlrus Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I know. Fruit juice has as many (sometimes more) calories as soda. I was so surprised when I found that out.Yeah, cup for cup, fruit juice has more, because the co2 takes up some of the volume, in the soda. Fruit juice is about the trickiest thing the food industry has done, playing on the general idea that "fruit is healthy" and knowing people will consume a lot of it, under that guise. 2 Quote I am the Brawlus, goo goo, g'joob.

Lightning Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I drink too much coffee (with unsweetened milk) and not enough water. Lately I have been adding a little Kombucha to my sparkling water. It makes a nice, lightly sweetened drink that resembles soda and has healthy probiotics in it. Wish I could aquire a taste for plain water. Sometimes I drink hot water with lemon as a way to curb my coffee craving. 1 Quote Level 23 Assassin Current Challenge "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" Link to post
aisforawkward Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 The things I try to drink on a daily basis are: 60 ounces of water, 1-2 cups of black tea (16 ounces total), 16 ounces of non-dairy milk (soy, rice, or almond), an apple cider drink (1/4 apple juice, 3/4 carbonated water, and about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar) and komboucha. Sometimes I'll allow myself a ginger ale, but I prefer to make my own ginger ale when I have time. Quote Link to post
Sowilo Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 When it comes to drinks, it all depends on what you want to accomplish I would guess. In the morning I have Bulletproof Coffee: 8oz coffee, 2tbl spoons of grass fed butter, 1tbl spoon coconut oil, and I add in about 10grams of protein powder. This IS NOT a Low Calorie drink, but it is my breakfast. I usually drink it around 6:30/7am and I am not hungry again until 11:30am/12pm. After that I have water for most of the day and occasionally coke zero with dinner. Through the last challenge I was pretty good about saving beer for the weekends. I used to drink so much fruit juice until I realized how much sugar is in it...holy cow no wonder I used to feel jacked like an kid with ADHD in the morning.

Why not? Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 99.9% of what I drink is water (like 95%), almond milk (in protein shakes), and beer. In that order.

Ayla14 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I am currently on a Seltzer water kick. The Polar Seltzer water is cheap to buy (recently it was 2 for a buck which was fantastic), and they have started to come out with more and more flavors such as Blueberry Lemonade and Tropical Sangria. Apart from that my number one treat is Vanilla Chai with almond milk. Hot teas as well.

blackwatch Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Most of what I drink is water. Milk, in smaller doses (part of a shake, or maybe a cup with one meal a day). I have an occasional little bit of soda. Quote Link to post

happylilmidge Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Mostly water, I try to give myself daily water goals, normally three bottles and a glass as well as whatever green tea I'm drinking.99% of the tea I drink is green or fruit teas. When I do have normal tea I have half a sugar in it (down from two heaped ones!)But I do let myself down at the weekends, but working in it. Used to be sugary liqueurs but now wine as I don't really long me the taste so I drink less.

wanderbound Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Black tea with milk, water, and wine.... honestly, that's pretty much all I ever drink, save a martini or two when I'm feeling fancy!
