Cucumber water....
26 Jan 2014, 19:46
Hi

Can you think of an thing more disgusting than that??

Well, it's actually quite pleasant.

This fasting day I'm alternating beween that (a la a weight watcher!) and lemon juice.

Any advances??



(I seem to have risen a couple of pounds. I ve been on the bike quite a lot and fair bit of walking so I presume its the muscle effect. Waist is about the same. Seems like another plateau ...groan)

That's popular in spas out here. Sometimes they add a sprig of mint as well. It's very refreshing - but in the winter with the price of cucumbers, it aint cheap! LOL

Is it the same as infused water?
Fizzy water with fruit added for flavour, . I drink loads in the summer.
It's like pimms without the P.

Just take a big glass of water and let a couple of slices of cucumber sit in it for a bit in the fridge. Lovely!

Yes that's the same as infused water. Strawberries, kiwi, cucumber, grapes it was very nice and refreshing. Not quite the weather for it here

It's just a bit of added fruit to a jug of carbonated water,
Added cals? Never worked it out. Prob not a lot as I don't eat the fruit, I give it to my chooks.
