What Can I Drink?

hey guys, I'm starting training tomorrow & will be attempting to eat healthy for once in my life.

Is there anything i can drink besides water that wont interfere with my diet?

I will be drinking mostly water but would be great if i can have a glass a day of something different that tastes nice.

gatorade, vitamin flavoured water, or any supplements that i can mix with water that taste good & are good for me?

thanks
 
what you drink is part of your diet.
if you have something sugary, it adds to your carbs, so you need to take that into account.
(fwiw, gatorade has about half the sugar of Coke... 6g/100mls = 30grams sugar for 600ml bottle)

there is no reason why fruit juice, gatorade, tea, coffee, milk, milk mixed with whey protein etc, can't be an integral part of your diet.
 
or get diet cordial... everyone loves cordial right?

corolla is right though, IIFIYM... I wouldn't go as far as to say it should be an 'integral' part of your diet though
 
I live on sugar free/NAS cordial, I make it fairly weak for no other reason than that's how I like it.
I don't think there is a problem with a can of Coke Zero a day.

I was more meaning, no reason why they can't be part of your diet if you count them toward your macros (instead of ignoring them).. if you have 10 cups of tea with 2tsp sugar.. it adds up :D

thanks a lot guys, i think diet cordial will be the go & will check out the waterfords mineral water.

will only have a small glass a day so should be fine, i hope.

what about oj, apple juice, etc? i'm guessing they have too much sugar?

before monday i was having a lot of sugary soft drinks so it's a big change. good thing is i've already dropped over a kilo with not much training, gives me motivation to stay strong & start hitting the gym.
 
What's wrong with just drinking water?

I can't bring myself to drink anything else these days with the exception of a decaf coffee or protein shake in water.
 
I stick to good old water, Green Tea, 1 cup of black coffee a day as caffeine has been shown to help with things like recovery and endurance as well as mental focus i dont see whats wrong with coffee. Just started drinking milk though as I am a skinny bastard!
