#nutrition So what can I drink? How do I increase by fluid intake without adding sugar and calories to my day? Great questions! The goal is to enjoy what you’re drinking AND still control the amount of sugar and calories by choosing alternatives. Can you add fresh squeezed lemons to your water instead of a powdered lemonade mix? Can you find a flavored decaffeinated tea that can replace a can of soda midday? Can you stop drinking chocolate milk and instead have a lower-fat glass of milk? Can you have your iced coffee with just cream? Just milk? Just almond milk? It’s often not about “never have this” and more about “what can I substitute and still feel satisfied?”
