what to drink??

Question
Hello
I have complete changed my eating habits. But I am really stuck as to "what to drink?" every day!! Before it was easy; Coke or Pepsi, large servings. Orange juice for breakfast, and sometimes milk; usually whole milk or dark chocolate milk. OCCASIONALLY water, in small amounts.

Now it is MOSTLY water, all day long, rarely orange juice; now causes me stomach aches, and "child-size" serving of coke or pepsi at lunch and dinner.

Because of my healthy-eating habits, NOW the coke and pepsi, even child size, is quickly "loosing it's taste" to me. I am at a loss!! I want to drink SOMETHING with taste in it, not JUST water the rest of my life... But what? Everything is sugar + water and coloring. Can you help me?

Answer
Water is a good choice.  You can try adding flavor to it by adding a little juice from a lemon, lime, or orange to make it tastier.  Low fat or fat-free milk is a good beverage choice as is fortified juices (in moderation).  Green tea can also be a good choice as it is full of antioxidants.
