Nope. Just water, and lots of it! I usually drink 32 - 40 ounces before I break my fast at noon.

That may not seem like much, but for someone who STRUGGLED to drink 8 - 12 ounces a day, it's a tremendous improvement, yes?

I hate the feeling of water AND food in my stomach...it's either one or the other for me. So, once I start eating, I start sipping, and I get another maybe 16 ounces the rest of the day. Still not the "recommended" 64 + ounces, but I'm very comfortable with my water intake now, whereas before I knew I was doing my body a disservice, not drinking enough.
