I like the idea of diluting my juice, I can definitely try that.

I drank a lot of milk while pregnant--whole milk--but know that is high calorie as well.

I've tried sparkling water and just can't stand the taste of it.

That's either psychological or you have some kind of disorder.

Maybe his/her water has an aftertaste. Our tap water does.

I am a big juice drinker too and I've been trying to cut down. I definitely think watering down the juice is the best idea. And put a lot of ice in it which makes it more fun to drink. You ca go from 1/2 juice to 1/4 juice.

I just had KeVita and recommend it highly.

Sparkling water with a splash of cranberry. My go-to drink.

It tastes like water. with fizz.

seriously, just drink it and get over it. Juice is LOADED with calories thanks to all the sugar. you can learn to like something or tolerate it.


Sorry, but sparkling water had a very different taste from still water. I love still water, but can't stand sparkling even though there are other carbonated drinks I enjoy.

Not that that helps the OP since she doesn't like water.

OP, I agree to gradually add more water to your juice. I do that with my drinks and find that 25% whatever (for me it's usually soda, lime aide or icetea/lemonade mix as those are my bad habits) tastes better than 100%..

I find cold water with freshly squeezed lime juice very refreshing.

I'm jealous. I wish I drank juice so that I could easily cut it out and lose weight, as you likely will when you do .

Have you tried kombucha? 60 calories for a 16 oz bottle, plenty of taste, and good for your digestive track to boot.

sugar fee torani syrups in seltzer water. Or Diluted Trop 50 (or other low cal juice) in Seltzer.

Have you tried iced tea? Green tea is pretty mild, but still good. Ere are also a number of fruit-flavored teas out there. I'm not a big fan of water either, but when I gave up Diet Coke I switched to iced tea (and you can get decaf tea if you don't like the caffeine).

To transition to sugar-free drinks, try infused water, as a PP suggested, or an unsweetened agua fresca (lots of recipes online, just make sure you don't add the extra sweetener).
