Default any good alternative to soda?

I know diet sodas are allowed on Atkins but I just would like to cut them off for good. But the thing is they make food taste so good. Imagine having a steak or grilled chicken with water! .. YUKH!!

So anyone has found a good alternative to sodas that tastes good with food and also zero sugar and carb?




What do you drink with your meals?

Well, I'm on Induction so all I drink is water. I love steak and grilled chicken and I don't mind having a nice COLD glass of water with lots of ice with my meals. It's been 4 days since I gave up soda and I'm not craving it too much. Today I had a salad and some Ham and a glass of water. I didn't really desire any other kind of drink to go with my meal. I know that's not very helpful but the best thing for all of us is to drink water water and more water!

I drink mostly water, some drink Crystal light, but I would be careful with, maybe water it down a bit.

I consider myself blessed because I actually love water and detest soda of any kind. If you like the fizz you could try Pellegrino with a splash of lemon. I drink mine without but you may like it with a hint of lemon juice. Remember to add the lemon juice to your carb count and there is a limit (I think 2 tablespoons a day).

Default Re: any good alternative to soda?

I usually do not drink with my meals - before and after for sure. Almost always water. I like it
When I do want something different I have carbonated water with a wedge of lemon or lime.

Klarbrunn Sparkling Water counts as water intake. It's calorie, caffeine and sodium free carbonated-water with flavor essence. There's Rasberry, Black Cherry, Lemon, Lime, and Citrus blend. It's bubbly like soda. You should try it.
