I'm trying very hard to lose weight after a baby and I'm doing it with the South Beach Diet. Now, those of you who have been on this diet know that it's great. However, it's also relatively strict and very unforgiving. I'm one of those people who loves drinks. I enjoy a good coke, fruit juice - you name it. And these things are completely outlawed on the diet. I don't mind giving up bread - I'm even living without pasta - but I simply can not drink water, and only water, all day long. It's too much!
So, what have I been doing? Seltzer water. Otherwise known as Soda. Seltzer water is still water, and I'm still giving my body the nutrients of water, but I'm adding a bit of fizz to it. I actually bought a seltzer maker and it's great. No more lugging seltzer water home, no more paying for those bottles in the store. I make my own seltzer water and I can have as much as I want ever day. They also sells syrups that you can put in the seltzer and they have many tasty diet varieties. I add a splash of cranberry syrup or pink grapefruit to my seltzer and I'm ready to go. This allows me to taste something sweet, to fill up on a water substance, and to feel like I'm giving myself a treat. It's a great trick - now I just need to say goodbye to another 10 pounds...
