probably don&#8217;t even think about water.\u00a0 Instead, you think about things you&#8217;re going to give up in order to release those unwanted pounds.<\/p>\n<p>Before you even decide many details of your diet, explore what you&#8217;re going to drink&#8230;and why.\u00a0 You may find that you&#8217;re thinking MORE and not Less.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, drink more for a successful diet.\u00a0 \u00a0Think more ounces, and cups, in glasses, bottles, and cans.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230;more and not less of what?<\/p>\n<p>For starters, drink less tea, carbonated drinks, alcohol, and 100% fruit juices.\u00a0 Better yet, skip anything with a calorie.<\/p>\n<p>Now is the best time to eliminate carbonation.\u00a0 Break the diet soda pop drink habit today!<\/p>\n<p>Choose water!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re stuck on diet sodas, you may discover many options you never considered before.\u00a0 It may take several days or weeks even to try out all the new found options just waiting for you to try on\u00a0 grocery shelves.<\/p>\n<p>As you sample\u00a0 the many drinks out there, avoid artificial sweeteners if you can.\u00a0 These artificial sweeteners haven&#8217;t been proven to support your weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>As you test different products,\u00a0 put them in categories because there are so many choices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water is Your First C<\/strong><strong>hoice.\u00a0<\/strong> Not all water tastes the same.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll have fun choosing your favorite.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, put waters in two basic categories:\u00a0 natural spring water and purified water.\u00a0 Personally, I went for the purified waters to begin with.\u00a0 \u00a0I found so\u00a0 many delicious spring waters that now I keep several different waters on my pantry shelves.<\/p>\n<p>There are many, many infused waters to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>Also on this first list, include strained homemade broth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Second Choice is Water with Stevia-Sweetened Flavor Drops.<\/strong>\u00a0 These products are essentially products with liquid water enhancers added.<\/p>\n<p>Decaffeinated herbal teas come in the water-with-enhancers category.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flavored Drinks sweetened with Stevia are your third choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Artificially flavored sweetened beverages make up your fourth choice.\u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0This choice includes sugar-free popsicles, sugar-free gelatin and any broths with MSG.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This last category is your jettison<\/strong> <strong>section.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t even consider diet soda pops, seltzer waters, sugar-sweetened beverages, fruit juice, milkshakes, and fancy coffee drinks.\u00a0 Erase them from your consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>Discovering your new favorite drink may take some persistence and a few trips to the super market.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t rush this search.\u00a0 \u00a0This is an important discovery for you.\u00a0 You&#8217;re searching for a beverage to live with.<\/p>\n<p>Take all the time you want.<\/p>\n<p>I shopped in my super market for years and never really paid a lot of attention to what waters were sitting on the shelves.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I went to my favorite super market and looked at all the different bottled\/canned waters out there.\u00a0 This time, I really looked at what was on the shelves.\u00a0 What I saw amazed me!<\/p>\n<p>It seemed my new diet was opening up a whole new world for me&#8230;a world of waters!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading this blog post.\u00a0 Please share it on your favorite social media network.<\/p>\n<p>Thurman Greco<\/p>\n<p><a
