Hydration options

Also, Sweetleaf makes flavoreed drops sweetened with stevia. I add them to plain seltzer water for flavor. I particularly like the english toffee flavor.

Zivia sodas are handy. I rarely drink them, but they are pretty good

Water is actually really good, but sometimes you need a strategy to get it down.
I take 24 ounce of water as the first thing after rising from bed in the morning, before brushing the teeth or doing anything.
I make a big 24 ounce bottle of iced water and sip through the morning and another to sip through the afternoon. I work in an office so it just sits there on the table and says DRINK ME!
Earlier I was really bad at drinking water, but now it is just like brushing my teeth or washing my hands. It feels strange if I donā€™t do it. And right before lunch or before leaving the office I simply down whatever I havenā€™t sipped yet. Bottoms Up!

I have tried some of those - taste WAY sweeter than other diet brands - but maybe I havenā€™t hit a good flavor yet.

Unsweetened iced tea was my favorite drink pre-keto and it still is now. I was never a soda person.

*this is when I go out. I drink water all day every day. Always have. Itā€™s a habit at this point.

Just drink to thirst. No need to force down water - thatā€™s how your electrolytes become imbalanced.

I have found lemon water to be good with sunkist water enhancer orange peach flavor and then I find I drink more if its hot.
My husband and I drink a lot of lemon water.
recipe. 2 cups lemon juice ( we like the costco brand) and 1 rounded teaspoon of stevia and 2 gallons water. Note: Not all stevia tastes good. Try a taste test of the dry powder on your finger. If it has a bitter aftertaste forget it. We like NuStevia by NuNaturals. www.nunaturals.com

We just got a soda stream to make our own sparkling water. Love it. A teaspoon of lemon or lime juice and itā€™s perfect. La Croix was getting expensive.

We get the kombucha that has the lowest sugar, less than 5 g, and drink it infrequently like 2x/wk. Tastes great after exercise. Love it.

Also drink a lot of unsweetened coconut milk, coffee, tea. And a daily shot of apple cider vinegar.

For endurance exercise we put together Mark Sissonā€™s drink: coconut milk, chia, molasses, and honey. The chia seeds add an interesting lumpy texture thatā€™s fun to eat. This is reserved for during long endurance runs.

Just started drinking club soda with a couple of dashes of bitters. No sweeter and no caffeine.

Yum! You just inspired me to mix a zevia ginger root beer, 1/4 cup of hwp, 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut almond milk and a shot of leftover coffee in a recycled coconut oil jarā€¦sipped through a pretty orange strawā€¦ahhhh!

Would never have thought of that-thanks!
