If youve cut out soda from your diet, this is a good first step in your weight loss efforts, but did you know drinks like Vitamin Water and Gatorade are LOADED with sugar? The good news is you dont have to sacrifice taste to reduce your sugar intake - you can make your own delicious and healthy flavored water. Simply soak your favorite fruits and/or herbs in water overnight and voila! Make it in... a jug or jar at home and take it anywhere in reusable water bottles! Your taste buds and your waistline will thank you! HERE IS A RECIPE FOR A REALLY AWESOME FLAVORED WATER LADIES!!! This drink was featured on The Biggest Loser along with other weight loss tips.
