Water is perfect – calorie-free, readily-available and healthy. But what if you’re one of those people who cannot drink pure water? The first tip here is to add something to make it tasty. Lemon, strawberry, cucumber, mint – there are lots of delicious and healthy options that will turn pure water into a delicious drink. If you can’t stand room temperature water, add ice. It will make your body burn even more calories to heat it. Other options include herbal tea, black coffee, and mineral water. However, as tea and coffee contain caffeine, they, in turn can cause dehydration. So if you drink a cup of black coffee (no sugar, of course!) you need to accompany it with a glass of water.
