A question asked again and again is whether or not a drink counts as water. Well, let’s shed some light on the subject. Our bodies digest everything we eat and drink together. It breaks these foods and drinks down into usable compounds our bodies need to survive.
Water is in all types of foods as well as drinks.We do not have to give our bodies pure water for it to utilize the water in our diet. We can drink the Crystal Light and the Mio and still count it as water. However, the colas and the fruit juices get harder to count because the true amount of water in them is questionable and an exact calculation is usually impossible.
I would much rather see someone break an addiction to colas or some other sugary drink with flavored water than to continue struggling to lose weight. Water is key to weight loss, so swap the colas for flavored water until you learn to love pure water. I know you can do this! Make the small changes and see the difference.
