rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/01/08, 12:35 PM I used to not drink water. But, it helped during my weight loss program and also now that I'm weight training. In my opinion, there is no substitute. I'm sure you realize that your body is made up of 2/3 water! Juice has acid and sometimes sugar, so you may not want to drink this all day long. Hard to replace good 'ol fashioned H2O...

Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2002/01/09, 09:35 AM I have to try the mint leaves!.. .o0 Arnold 0o.

rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/01/09, 06:13 PM That's the first I've heard of anyone getting dizzy drinking water. Have you tried room temperature water instead of hot or cold? Have you tried drinking it more slowly perhaps? Sometimes when I drink cold water too fast I get a slight head rush. The consensus here seems to have provided you many alternatives (most of them include mixing something with water, unfortunately).

MuscleRage Posts: 203 Joined: 2001/12/09	2002/01/09, 06:06 PM Gelson...water is an essential part of your diet...you cant really replace water but u can add something to it such as a flavored tea.
Alorle Posts: 196 Joined: 2001/10/07	2002/01/09, 10:15 PM I believe in Crystal Light, because I believe in me! ;) Anyway, with the tea suggested above, just make sure it is decaffienated, otherwise, it will just dehydrate you worse, but there are many good herbal teas with many homeopathic side effects. As far as adding lemon to my water goes, it never works for me. You see, it starts out fine, but it's a bit too sour, so I have to add sugar. Then it's too sweet, so I have to add more lemons. Before you know it, I'm not drinking lemon water, I've made lemonade! :/
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/01/10, 02:52 AM I think more it's in the head, Gelson, you don't like to drink water so if you force yourself, you get dizzy.... Try some of our suggestions above. Alorle, try putting orange slices in your water instead of lemon.
ltroisi Posts: 764 Joined: 2001/11/06	2002/01/10, 07:10 AM Take a bottle of water say a small bottle and carry it with you. Sip it thru the day. When its gone get a bigger bottle and repeat. Do this until you build up tolerance for it. The fuuny thing is your body will start asking you to drink it everyday!!!!!!

BillK Posts: 361 Joined: 2000/12/26	2002/01/10, 12:33 PM Everybody can drink water. How can one fluid make you dizzy and other types don't? Just don't make any since to me. I have to agree with Philia2; it's all in your head. But anyhow, as you can see above, sufficient water intake is a vital key to living a good productive life style. ~billk~

I drink plenty of water too. I can slam a quart of water in 10 minutes no problem. I just hate going to the bathroom so much.
roni0906 Posts: 1,008 Joined: 2002/01/24	2003/03/01, 10:29 PM Sorry, you gotta drink water. It is the key to your body. It helps with everything. How can you not stand water. It doesn't have a taste. Try adding lemon slices to it or drink it with ice. Maybe that will help, but ya gotta drink it, especially if you are working out. -------------- Lisa Just laugh about it....
