I assume everything is legal, although someone with better chemistry skills should give his/her opinion on this...  but you cannot count it towards your water.Also, it does have sweetener in it, so you are allowed a maximum of 3 servings (usually 1 serving = 8 oz) assuming you don't have any other serving of sweetener in the day.

I used to drink maximum 8 oz of water a day before starting Atkins. Now I drink over 200 oz. You'll start loving water after the first few days. And by water, I mean regular, simple water.  Also, what I forgot to add previously, carbonated drinks (soda stuff) are stallers for a lot of people. Better have a clean induction and get awesome results after the first two weeks!

MomtoCarli - honestly you will - I never drank water - never - was a 6 cans of diet coke and a bottle of wine a day girl. Now I cannot get enough of the water stuff! You find yourself more and more wanting it! The first couple of days are hard, but no pain no gain and it does get better, in fact it gets amazingly better! You will feel so great. You will thank yourself for the clean induction! Good luck Janie xo

In a few days you'll have a lot of energy and you won't feel "grumpy" anymore. It takes a little time to get into the groove of things, but this is the easiest way of eating (not to 'diet') that one can follow. Jazz up your menu, don't stick to fad foods. There are so many tasty meals you can have on Atkins, even for induction. For most of them you wouldn't even say they are low carb (you can trick your husband with this ).Did you check Linda's website? It also has pictures for almost all recipes. Just reading them makes your mouth watery! The link: Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home

hahaha. I just realized I'm replying to the same person. The minimum is 2 liters, that's right. However, some say you should drink 64 oz PLUS 8 oz for every 25 lbs of extra weight. If, for example, you weight 160 lbs and your ideal weight is 120, then you should drink around 77 oz.

Someone once said, "It's not water if you can't wash your sweater in it." That said, drinking Tide does not count as water.
