Apart from tea/coffee what do you drink during the day?

[whyohwhy25]

I have a serious Diet Coke habit, and for the umpteenth time have been reminded just how bad it is for me. So I’m looking for healthy alternatives aside from tea/coffee. I’m avoiding sugar so really need low sugar alternatives to diet fizzy pop. Thanks l!

Me too. Go through phases of cutting back.

Water really is a good alternative.

Just water. Once you get into the habit it’s easy. Just force yourself.

If I’m craving something ‘more’ I occasionally have coconut water.

Water, sparkling water actually. About 2 litres a day. I'm currently thinking about buying a soda stream so I stop using so much plastic.

I'm going to sound boring, but honestly, water.
I used to drink way too much diet coke myself but I forced myself to stop buying it because I know it's not good for me.

I don't buy coke anymore so I have no other choice but to drink water, which I recommend doing. Now it's all I want to drink and I don't know how I used to drink so little of it tbh lol.

If you need some flavour just add a bit of cordial (not squash) to water. You can add just a touch.

Water, at home I just have a pint glass on the go all day that I keep refilling as required, I probably drink about 3-4 pints of water a day. If I need a treat then fizzy water with a slice or two of lemon or lime.

I have mostly water with a couple of glasses of sugar free “nice” cordial for variety, sometimes made with sparkling water.
I recently gave up normal Coke.

Sparkling water at home. I’m glad pregnant at the moment so am obsessed with this blood orange and lime cordial which I add to sparkling water when I would normally have a wine. Tea and water at work, it’s amazing how much more water I drink just have a drink bottle on my desk.

Kombucha, and why, yes, I am middle class.

Mostly just water. Sometimes squash.

How about those zero / VLC flavoured waters? Volvic Do them and there are supermarket versions too.

I drink Vimto, gallons of it. Hot or cold, I love it!

A little fruit juice, lemon and barley, lots and lots of water.

I only drink tea, coffee and water

Just water!! We occasionally have orange juice in the house, but he really I only have max 1 cup of tea a day & the rest is water. I actually really like water

Lots of water, I've just bought some twinings cold infusion teabags and they are quite nice, they give a light flavour to water rather than a full on squash type flavour.

Just water, or fizzy water if I've randomly bought it because sometimes guests where I live seem to assume that you have it. The kids drink fruit juice sometimes but I only buy it sporadically and not in large quantities so mostly water - the teen only drinks water, never fruit juice or anything else except an occasional hot chocolate. 8 year old drinks milk sometimes.

I drink water or infused water. I have a bottle with a sort of ‘strainer’ through the middle. I put various things in the strainer, yesterday was sliced strawberries and mint leaves, I also use lemon, lime.... This gives the water a subtle flavour. So more interesting than plain water.

I can’t drink anything with artificial sweetener in so really only drink tea coffee water or milk as soft drinks.

I drink a lot of tea in the evening if I'm at home though, and 3 cups of coffee before 11am (though none later than that) if I'm at home or at work.

I bloody hate infusions, I hate weak tastes and am a bit all or nothing - very happy with water, very unhappy with anything waterey which isnt pure water - but I live in a country where herbal Infusions are passed off as tea, which has jaded my view of pseudo tea hence only drinking tea at home!

If you want to kick the Diet Coke habit then it'd probably be best to avoid sugar- free cordials too, as the sweetener in them could trigger your cravings.

I drink a lot of plain water, but also like sparkling water when I need something with a bit of fizz to it - either plain or with a slice of lemon or lime, or a bit of mint or ginger.

I drink herbal teas too - pukka are good as they actually taste of something. In the summer I'll make a large jug of one up in advance and put it in the fridge for the next day to drink cold.

I try to mainly drink water, I bought a 2L water bottle which I leave beside me on the couch to drink.

I do drink Diet Coke too, sometimes none, sometimes one or two cans and I have two, sometimes three, cups of tea.

I also like soda water and lime cordial if I’m cutting back on Diet Coke.

Don’t drink tea or coffee at all - just don’t like them. I used to have a serious full sugar coke habit but kicked it when dieting a few years ago. I now drink either still or sparkling water. I bought a sodastream so I wasn’t using so much plastic - it’s not a money saver but is definitely more environmentally friendly!

Water, mint tea or champagne depending on how my day is going.

I drink almost black coffee and water. A diet coke is a treat now as my dh, who loved diet coke, was told to stop drinking it nearly 20 yrs ago. I do actually also like Waitrose cloudy lemonade. Neither my dsis or I like tea or milk but I do drink weak tea with lemon.

I do drink sparking water as well. I like the Belvoir elderflower cordial to add to plain water. You don't need to add much.

Water.

I only really drink tea (black or mint) or water.

Very occasionally (once a month) I might have a fruit juice.

Obviously I also drank wine
