I know its the best thing for you but I'm so bored of drinking water and adding flavors to it. Anything else out there that isn't loaded up with sugar?

tea
Ditch your meal plan and develop a diet that combines sound nutrition with the foods you enjoy by eating when you see fit in the portions that allow you to achieve your macronutrient and caloric needs while providing sufficient micronutrients, energy and satiety. One can never forget that nutrition is a tool, not a restraint; the enjoyment of life should always come first. Psychological, sociological and emotional health should never be threatened by the attempt to increase physiological health.

Milk, tea preferable matcha tea, coffee, and treat yourself with some pure fruit juice once or twice per day.

I just drop a green tea bag into a 32oz bottle of water and let it sit. No sugar.

Just a squirt:

I dip a chopstick into the bottle, then stir the water with it. A little goes a long way.

It's different, but I'm sure if I put more in it'd get gross. It probably amounts to ~2 drops for a tall glass of water and is subtle but noticeable.Originally Posted by FourHundred

Coke Zero. About half a gallon a day on most days. Not always though, I use some flavoured vitamin pills as flavourings after the coke bottle is empty and I fill it with water. Tastes pretty good. Other than that - well... that's about it for me. Coke, vitamin flavoured water or just water. Some tea every now and again.

Some good idea's here, just trying to stay away from the soda. You see all the different drinks in a convenient store geared toward fitness and most of it is crap! Propel Zero is good.

You can drink green tea which helps with metabolism and fat burning and add some stevia sweetened which is natural and without carbs..

Green tea for metabolism/fat loss purposes - better not even think about that. For general health - sure. But that's as far as I'd take it.Originally Posted by Kostas89

You should really just keep drinking water; so frequently until it becomes second nature but.. if you wanna mix things up, try having green tea, orange juice (go easy on this one) or skim milk.
