why doesnt bubbly water, like seltzer water count towards your total daily water intake goal.

I really don't know the answer to the question but Dr Atkins does state no selzer when your counting your water. It could be that there are salts in selzer water that make it carbonate like soda...

Dr. Atkins definition of "water" is that it's water. Sure water has dissolved particules that are allowed by the World Health Organization and the EPA (if your out of the US, that number is determined by your government) but for the most part it's water. Anything with additives beyond what the government deems is water, isn't considered "water".

Hi! :wave
Seltzer has trace elements of sodium which can make you retain water and slow your weightloss. Do yourself a huge favor one that you'll be grateful you did for years to come. Just drink at least 64 ounces of good quality, pure clean water a day during induction.

I'm confused about this. I would have to say that sparkling water does not count towards your water intake, whether flavoured or not because it's carbonated. I think water means just plain old water. If you want to enjoy it and it's induction friendly, by all means, drink it up! Just drink your 'regular' water as well! Just my humble opinion.Originally posted by ElizellenComment

I see what you mean Isabeau but I think sparkling water is OK if it is plain sparkling mineral water.
From Chapter 8 (page 230 in my book)Maybe one of the mods can chip in here ?9. You must drink at least 8 230 ml (8 fl ozs) of pure water daily. This can be filtered, mineral or spring water.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
