I have given up sodas and drink soda water with less sodium, this is so refreshing ice cold, i think it is the bubbles that quenches your thirst, i also now when i am out at lunch have 100% pure juices, i have been doing this for 6 months now and feel so much better.

Wow that seems healthy, i must admit i am a big soda fan and when you read how much caffeine and sugar is in one drink, maybe it’s time to change.
Do you recommend any particular brand?

Water is the best thing your body can drink, i have been drinking carbonated water as long as I can remember.
Great tip Shelly more people should drink it.

No particular brand just look on the label though and check that is sodium free.

I have been drinking soda water for a while but when I read this post I went downstairs to check the bottle and you are right Shelly it has sodium in it why would they do that? So from now on I will change brand and buy the one without the sodium, thank you.

my soda waters are the generic brand at the grocery store. I like black cherry. mine doesn't have much sodium in it but what worries me is all the aspartame. Anyone worried about this too?

Hey, I started buying plain club soda, and mixing crystal light with it, it taste great.

Really? I always have thought that the Crystal Light packets have a bit of an after taste. Does mixing it with soda water help to cut down on some of that because that is a very big drawback to me. Does drinking something like this help to curb those urges to drink a Coke?

I just saw in another post where someone recommended putting plain Jell-O powder in plain water for flavoring. I can't believe I hadn't thought of thta myself. A whole lot cheaper than Crystal Light!

I'm loving this site. Fitness ideas along with being frugal too. I can;t wait to try the powdered jell-o in the water. Have you done it with club soda too, or just plain water?
