Question about Sparkling Water

[keriann_forgoodthistime]

I have a question about Sparkling water. I buy mainly the SAM'S CHOICE from walmart - it SAYS it's "flavored sparkling water beverage with other natural flavors. caffeine, calori and sodium FREE."

the nutrition facts even say "0" all the way down (including carbs/sugars)

AND the induction list INCLUDES sparkling water as an option...

But i'm almost wondering if this could be one reason I'm NOT losing anything yet?

Like many others on induction - it's been one week for me and I haven't lost anything yet (although, today - TOM is going to start and I can almost guarantee that's one reason...)

I refuse to give up and I don't want to cry about not losing weight 'immediatly' - because I know that it WILL take time and I can also almost gurantee that I will end up doing extended induction.

But I was wondering if anyone noticed any issues with drinking sparkling water (i'm just trying to see what any issue might be)...

thanks!

artificial sweeteners can stall you out, plus your body doesn't use carbonated water like plain water.
