Am I at least on the right track?

>>for someone who doesnt like water, it's the same as adding crystal lite, or a lemon.. it's just hot, and seasoned...>>

Dr. Atkins wrote we could add lemon or lime juice to water ... and it's still water.

Crystal Light is not water.

i think you need to be realistic about it.. flavouring the water is one thing...but adding crap to it like the things that are in pop, or even coffee which is full of caffeine changes things. i think you have to use some sense and not force yourself that by drinking a 6 pack of bud you've had your water intake for the day either lol (not that i think you are, just a point)

Flavouring with what?

Re: Am I at least on the right track?

ya, crystal lite would was a bad example for induction. it's all sweetners... but if you can add spices to a cauliflower and eat it while drinking the water, what's the difference if you just pour that tablespoon of atkins induction friendly power/liquid into your water? it's the same right.

flavouring with lemon, or lime, or a tomato, even.. it's still water if you are measuring out your 10 oz of water and then blending with water.. same situation..blend it in and it doesnt count but if you bite the tomato pieces and drink your water with it, suddenly it counts?...doesnt make sense to me.

No, it's not the same.

See the quote by Dr. Atkins above.

and by "YOU" being realistic about it, i didnt mean anyone in particular..just the expression...to clarify.

Well, like I said, you can argue the merits and food value of what your using to 'flavor' the water, but it is still water. If it wasnt I would be dead. You can only live about 2 weeks without water, and I have gone YEARS without drinking any. It came from somewhere.

Not for doing Atkins!

Re: Am I at least on the right track?

ok, after starting the heated 'water aint water no more' issue, roflmao, I'll concede that Dr. Atkins doesnt want it counted on his diet plan, and he seems to have been a smart guy, so.... (I'm currently drinking a big glass of that nasty clear stuff right now!)

Good job!

Do you want to hear that 64 ounces is a MINIMUM and that many who drink 1/2 their current body weight in ounces of water do well?
