Low cal drinks. Trying to kick diet coke habit.....

[orangeandemons]

And don't know what to have instead. I don't like water, fruit teas, vanilla or green tea or low cal squash, and I just don't know what to drink.

I have to kick the habit, but am stumped. As I said I don't like any teas, but I need a flavoured low cal drink.

Any ideas?

why do you need to stop drinking it? You could try other fizzy flavours if its the caffeine that is the issue

milk?

It's the fizz I'm not keen on anymore.

flavoured water?

Elderflower cordial made with tap water.

Wine?!

Wine...

Hmm possible. Only like Volvic strawberry though

Adams ale

wine's not very low calorie though

Gin and slimline?

Sparkling water with lemon juice?
Red bush tea (with or without milk)?
Peppermint tea?

I've gone onto full sugar squash just to avoid the artificial sweeteners.

Plain water with lemon juice if the fizz is problematic.

I sec

Sorry - I second water with lemon juice. I mainly drink cups of tea and coffee but think might switch to this too and hope for gleaming white teeth as keep thinking mine are looking less white than did!

Have you tried putting mint leaves in your water for a few hours? Sorry to sound so wholesome as I eat a lot of junk at moment but this is actually very nice/ refreshing

Black coffee, but I guess that's just swapping your bad hobby for mine.

In any case diet coke is horrible, real sugary coke is far nicer.

Hobby, habbit

Possibly lemon and hot water < feels stomach turning at the thought>

I spent some time pondering on my strange tastes. I don't actually think I like anything except very very weak coffee or diet coke. Everything else is too astringent. I want something not watery but low cal. Mission impossible I know[ grin]

Don't put too much lemon in it - it's surprisingly nice.

You can even add a small amount of sugar and it really helps the taste without being as sticky as squash. Or as calorific.
