  • Lemon in Water

    I have started putting lemon juice in my water for taste, is there any reason why i shouldnt count this towards my water totals? I am putting Realemon 100% lemon juice product from concentrate.

    Here is the nutritional Ingredients: Lemon juice from concentrate, sodium benzoate, sodium metabisulfite and sofium solfitre, lemon oil

    Bam,

    I would still count the water for sure, but I know real lemon has carbs so I would check the book to see about the lemon juice from concentrate. When all else fails...Dr. Atkins has the answer.

      Has anyone managed to produce a home made lemonade (or lightly flavoured lemon-water) that is as tasty as the commercial offerings?

      Anyone care to share a recipe?
      Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
      he said, 'Don't count calories.'

        What is the serving size listed for RealLemon? As long as you were sure you weren't going over the listed amount, I think you'd be fine.

            I slice a lemon up and put it in a ziploc bag. Whenever I want a lemon flavor I just pull out a small slice and put it in my ice water. It doesn't take much to flavor the water. I don't sweeten it though, so it is not like lemonaide.
