Found an easy way to drink more water...

[jcapulet]

All I have to do is eat spicy food and I chug down water like there's no tomorrow

Had a couple of "hot n spicy" pork rinds (0 carbs)...downed the entire glass of water!!

for me we have 1.9lbs bottles of water(had to weigh myself with and without a bottle on my digital scale) out here in Iraq. it's not the best tasting bottle water so i just used the crystal light to go flavor packets in one bottle and it gives me enough flavor to down the whole thing. since they are sugar free i usually count each packet as 1 carb which totals to 12carbs, i drink a lot of water.

LOL see and folk laugh when I recommend that for craving control, the hot spicey,like habenero peppers cause all they will be carving after them is lots and lots of ice water.

There's a food I loved before called "Poppers"...they were jalapenos stuffed with cheese...but they're breaded! Maybe I should try to make my own, and not bread them.

You're right, spicy food is a good way to slow down on eating LMAO!! Now that you mention it, I'm gonna get some spicy snacks for home. For those days when I just feel like I wanted to eat "more" while knowing I am not hungry. Thanks for the idea!

The water I drink at work is from a water fountain, not great either. There's filtered water downstairs in the office pantry/eating area but I got tired of going down there.

Plus, I'd bring one of those 1.5 liter bottles and fill the entire thing up. I got self concious though about people standing behind me waiting, who only have a cup to fill.

mmmMm.. jalapeno poppers. I made some 2 days ago.. with crab inside. I put the recipe on lowcarbrecipes.org, you can do variation and just put cheese inside too.
