Drinking suggestions

[GABaracus]

I have found when I drink things like fizzy drinks, coke etc, addictive drinks I have no trouble drinking enough. Add to that all the high salt junk I was eating at that time also. I’ve rarely ever drank alcohol.

Now that I’m eating healthy and drinking only water, I’m struggling to drink. I don’t feel thirsty all that much and I find myself forcing myself to drink a 500ml bottle of water.

probably all the sodium in your fizzy drinks making you thirsty and the need for your body to flush out the sodium. you’ve stopped putting the salt in which sodium is your body doesn’t have the need to flush it that’s why you don’t feel thirsty. hope this makes sense. keep up the good work❤️shiona

Yes that’s true, but I still feel like I’m not drinking enough.

You're probably not if all you're drinking is 500ml a day. Unless you're on fluid restriction you should be about 2lts of water a day!

I just don’t feel thirsty that much. I’ve been forcing 2-3 bottles a day at least. I wanted to drink a sugar free Robinsons blackcurrent but am worried about the stuff in it.

Stick with the water

I drink decaffeinated Coffee and fruit flavoured teas

I dont like water at all but force myself to drink a large glass morning ,afternoon and evening even when not thirsty

You can get those herbal cold infusions with things like rose hips hibiscus orange peel

I’ve been reading about that. Doesn’t herbal interfere with drugs though? I’m not sure on this, it’s all still new to me.

Theres only a few herbs in them and they are harmless
