Default Water

If you make ice tea or even lemonade and drink it, does that count as water intake?

I say no..but I have heard that if your tea is de-caffinated then it does count as water...But lemonade I would say no to that also...But I am interested in hearing others opinions...So we shall see.

If the tea is de-caf it counts.* But not lemonade, unless it's Crystal Lite or something like that.

I didn't think - I drink 8-10 glasses of water a day and a little iced tea and was just wondering.* Wish it did I'd be set LOL

Well, I'll be the one to disagree.*
A great big YES to the tea, decaf or not.** The theory behind not counting tea or coffee is that caffiene is a diuretic, well, the effects are very mild.* Google it.**New research shows that the*diuretic effect is so slight that it's just not a big deal.* So, I say count tea. Plus, if it helps you get in more liquid...well, why not?
Lemonade, as long as it's*sugar free I'd say go ahead.* But do make sure you get some*plain water in too, just for good measure.* *
