Question about seltzer...

Does the no sodium kind count as your water? This is probably a dumb question, but I much rather drink seltzer than water.

I believe it does.

Re: Question about seltzer...

I believe I read on the Atkins site that seltzer does not count as water

Re: Question about seltzer...

I'm pretty sure it does too, although you should try to drink both. As long as you don't completely substitute it for regular water.

I found it...

From Atkins.com

Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of pure water daily. This can be filtered, mineral or spring water (not seltzer). You may also have unlimited amounts of herbal tea (without sugar), but these do not count toward your total of eight glasses.

Thanks Lisa, I didn't think it counted the same, I do drink plain ol water as well, but I rather drink seltzer. If I can get myself to do half and half that would be good for now.

I know how you feel. I need the bubbles too! Water is just BLAH!

Re: Question about seltzer...

I buy seltzer by the case! I thought I was doing a good thing by switching to it, and then I read that!

I guess it is better than diet soda and iced tea though!
