Lemon water aka miracle juice... Yes yes, it's that great for you. I can't believe I like it, and look forward to drinking it often. If you told me awhile ago I would like drinking unsweetened/watered down lemonade, I would've thought you were insane...hahaha On top of all the health benefits, it's also calorie free, but you don't have to take my word for it. @livestrong.com says A Healthy Alternative Lemon water can serve as a tasty alternative to other, less healthy beverages. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that while calories in drinks aren't "hidden," you may not realize just how many calories beverages can contribute to your daily intake. For example, in a 12-ounce serving, apple juice has 192 calories, orange juice has 168 calories, lemonade has 168 calories and a sports drink has 99 calories. In contrast, lemon water has zero -- making it a great choice for when you want a flavorful drink but not all the added calories.
