And don't forget, green tea and Matcha burn fat too! And they count as Water don't they if they?

Hmmmm, Rules ...

I think fresh brewed green , white, herbal, etc without additives like milks (plant or animal) count as pure Water but black and pre packaged iced teas do not. They count towards other fluids, like coffee, hot cocoa, etc.

45 oz pure water

90 oz fluids minimum

seem fair?

Yes mam. I had 85oz pure Water (Ozarka Spring Water) + 40oz decaff black coffee yesterday (water decaffeinated).

My Dr office considers black Decaf coffee with just sweetener or any decaf tea as part of my "clear" fluids. But if we want just Water I can do that for this challenge.

Prepping for this challenge:

Choose your unit of input for fluids- MFP has three options choose the one you are comfortable with using:

8oz= 1cup = 250ml

We want everyone to get used to drinking more pure Water

too many of us are relying on additives just to make it palatable or forgo drinking water altogether.

But pure additive free water is crucial to many bodily functions.

If you are closer to the 128oz of liquids it won't hurt to count them anyway you please

I've always enjoyed citrus fruits over anything and now that I have an infuser, it makes it yummier. Especially since I had help here on the pal. But I also have some flavor packet things like Crystal Light, but since we are ballin on a budget, it's the Great Value brand. If Water is cold, I love it even plain. When it gets ball temperature that's when I need some enhancer.

Lol. Yeah, the word "challenge" in the title threw me off
