    Default Help Me Like Water!

    OK, so I don't drink soda except for rarely as a treat. I hate the taste of water, I know that is weird but I just hate that it tastes like nothing.

    I try to drink flavored water but I'm particular about the kinds that I like. I don't want anything that is all sugary and basically exactly like soda and I don't want anything too sweet or fruity.

    So does anyone know of any good waters with a subtle lemon or lime flavor or maybe mint or something? Help!

    That's odd. The only people I've ever had tell me they didn't like water were people who had shitty water coming out of their faucets. I had to tell them, "Yeah, no, this is not what water is supposed to taste like." Are you sure it's not just that?

    If not, try squeezing some fresh lemon slices into your water instead of buying pre-made store bottles. They always go over the top in taste, IMO.

    "Flavored" water is loaded with crap. Just add fresh lemon slices or other types of fruit.

    Sometimes I like to chug water out of a big gallon jug, and then I fill up the space from the water I just drank with some flavored vitamin water so it still slightly flavored but really watered down. But then again, I think vitamin water is too strong.

    I always used lemon concentrate; that way I could make it by the pitcher, and just keep it in the fridge. Plus it was a lot easier / cheaper than having to buy and cut fresh lemons all the time.

    Man I love the hell out of some Vitamin Water. I miss drinking it all the time, but it had too much sugar in it. When I read that it was almost on the same level as soda I couldn't drink it anymore.

    I second the Vitamin Water or the Sobe Life Waters.

    That, or add Stevia (natural sugar alternative) to your water to make it taste good. You could add that to seltzer water to make a healthy "soda."

    Try making your own water drink every night: fill a pitcher with PURIFIED water (not from the faucet; get a filtration system. I highly, highly recommend ZeroWater. After I started drinking that stuff, I couldn't drink plain bottled waters anymore. ZeroWater tastes so freaking pure it's unreal). Slice up a lemon or two and a cucumber and toss it in the pitcher, along with some chopped fresh mint. Let it sit overnight, and the next day, it'll taste really wonderful!

    You can basically add ANYTHING you like to water if you don't want to drink it plain.
    I like: strawberries, cucumber, lemon, lime and mint leaves.

    It's a lot easier to dick around with flavors and find something you like. Plus, you can get pretty creative with it.


    Seriously, though, cucumber slices in water are just amazing.

    I am a flavored water fanatic. I have recently been using the Propel Zero packets. The kiwi strawberry is delicious! I don't like many of the other packets - try Propel brand! It really is yummy! And no calories...

    Also, I find I like water more when it is ICE cold!

    I drink mineral water with lemon slices when I want something that's not just plain water.

    Maybe also try working out or going to the gym and only taking water. If you don't like the taste but that's all you have to drink you might start to feel like it after a good workout.
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    I have a Brita pitcher that "purifies" my water before I drink it, I pretty much just don't like that water is so plain.

    Thanks everyone! I guess I will get crackin', I especially like the notion of using fresh mint.

    I don't like plain water either. I love soda water or mineral water though. I stock up on 2 liters of it try to drink at least one a day.

    See if your store has flavored carbonated water. "La Croix" is one brand. It has no calories. Since it is carbonated, you get that soda feeling. I drink the lime La Croix and it's great.

    I thought I was the only weirdo who doesn't like water! I don't like soda either. Actually...I hate ANY fluid in me, other than my cup of coffee in the morning and alcohol (shots. only. cocktails are too much fluid).
    The only thing that's worked for me is getting one of those huge Smart Water or Fiji water bottles in the morning and making it a goal to finish it by the time I go to bed. So I can take sips throughout the day without feeling like I'm DRINKING water and most days I'll finish the good majority of it.

    Mio is an additive that's really good. It's sugar free and calorie free and has a lot of flavors. It definitely helped me cut down on my soda, especially the Berry Pomegranate.

    Mio is made up of chemicals that can't be good for the body... I love cucumbers in my water, too. They contain silica which is beneficial for skin health.

    I buy a really big bottle of water and then put a packet of dehydrated lemon juice into it. It makes me drink more of it and sometimes even helps me resist sweets.
