I just mean a good drink to help go low(er) sugar?
kombucha (low sugar)
coconut milk (no added sugar/low sugar)
Exercise. There is no free lunch to lower blood sugar.
I like to mix soda water with good Apple cider 50/50 then add lemon and ginger to taste (about a teaspoon of each per pint works for me).
Water. I like plain water when I’m absolutely thirsty, like after working outside, but always gravitated towards sodas all other times I should have been drinking water throughout the day. I had to try a few dozen different flavorings, but once I found one I liked I was able to kick the sugar habit with water.
People may really give me shit for this but I switched to artificial sweeteners for my drinks. When I really feel like something with flavor I drink diet soda or crystal light. Back when I made the switch I lost 13 pounds immediately.
Let the down votes and hate take me.
Can you edit this to give the actual sweetener > bolded at top? Like you talking aspartame, stevia etc?
Well, it depends on the drink really.
I personally prefer aspartame, I just like the taste more and even liked it when I still drank sugared drinks. Sucralose is also perfectly fine but I hated it back when I drank sugared drinks. It took my tastebuds changing to adapt to it. Stevia is okay, not my favorite, but I won’t shy away from it.
It’s just personal preference. I’m sure people here will rant and rave about how this is all poison, I’m killing myself, and that everyone should only ever drink water.
I missed the boat on forming a water habit. I grew up on really bad well water that wasn’t potable sometimes and even when it was safe (maybe?) it smelled strongly of sulfur. So my mom just made Koolaid with it to hide the smell and taste and that’s what we drank. It’s hard to imagine sitting down for a meal and not having a drink with flavor, you know?
Should I have formed better habits as an adult? Yes. Am I killing myself by drinking diet drinks? Possibly.
But I’m not too bothered by it. It’s not like I don’t drink water now.
When you go to a restaurant, do you not enjoy the nice water they usually serve with immersed lemons?
Can someone explain the question to me? I don’t understand.
So it’s a drink? Would cranberry juice work? They make a low sugar one that still has strong taste.
