Or a mix of half juice, half water, or (real, brewed) iced tea. I'm a southern girl so don't even get me started on the abomination of instant tea! :-)<BR/><BR/>Maybe you have something in your water that makes it taste off? I love my Atlanta tap water but when I visit my relatives in California I can't drink it from the tap at all.Melissa D at DropTheBabyWeight.comhttp://dropthebabyweight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180935877141446515.post-73702843195201596542009-04-03T16:05:00.000-07:002009-04-03T16:05:00.000-07:00There is a fabulous product called TrueLemon, True...There is a fabulous product called TrueLemon, TrueLime or TrueOrange. It's dehydrated juice, so it tastes totally fresh but is really convenient. Add some to your water and it's darn near palatable.

It tastes like you squeezed a wedge of lemon/lime in there, but it's much easier and less expensive than fresh citrus.'Beccahttp://blog.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180935877141446515.post-56437887052075644072009-04-02T12:56:00.000-07:002009-04-02T12:56:00.000-07:00Wow, I never knew that drinking water was so compl...Wow, I never knew that drinking water was so complex. <BR/><BR/>For the record, I also live in the Glen (with Denise of "View from the Glen"). I thought I could add my comments to her insightful commentary.<BR/><BR/>I drink about 4 litres of water a day. If anyone wants to increase their consumption, here is my suggestion. Work at manual labour (in my case, dairy farming)for 10 -14 hours per day, preferably when it is really hot. <BR/><BR/>The water thing should take care of itself from there. Personally, I've been ready to drink ditch water at various times. Taste...pshaw, what is that?<BR/><BR/>As a side benefit, this technique is also good for insomnia.<BR/><BR/>Great blog. I'll have to read it more often.His View from the Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064391503916738933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180935877141446515.post-54519528830546340912009-04-02T05:12:00.000-07:002009-04-02T05:12:00.000-07:00This is a really good idea!

I have tried putting lemon in it but I don't like that. I do like iced tea and my doctor said that was just like drinking water because it has no calories or sugar etc. I just talked to a dietician friend of mine and she said if you steep the tea for a minute or two and then dump that water and start over it will take the caffiene out. Good luck on getting healthier and finding something you like!!!Amy@theredheaddiaries.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250102866236279251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180935877141446515.post-5849275003708734202009-04-01T10:55:00.000-07:002009-04-01T10:55:00.000-07:00Hello!I'm stopping by to visit from a comment you ...Hello!<BR/><BR/>I'm stopping by to visit from a comment you left on my site from the Blog Party. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Nice to "meet" you!<BR/><BR/>Trixie<BR/>http://farmhomelife.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180935877141446515.post-56005826162651188822009-04-01T09:51:00.000-07:002009-04-01T09:51:00.000-07:00I can't tolerate the taste of tap water.

I must have spring water (not filtered or purified) or nothing.<BR/><BR/>And yes drinking it fast and getting it out of the way helps.<BR/><BR/>Do you drink green or herbal tea? They count as water too.<BR/><BR/>How about those Crystal light mixes (I personally can't stand them because of the sweetener, but I know loads of ppl do).Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342729778890255424noreply@blogger.com
