Water and Other Calorie-Free Beverages

We recommend incorporating a healthy habit of sipping on water throughout the day. Not only is water naturally good for you, but it also aids in achieving a sense of fullness and satisfaction!

Aim to drink at least 64 oz. (8 cups) of water or other calorie-free drinks each day to maintain optimal hydration levels. If you use the Nutrisystem app, you will be provided a personalized daily water goal that is based on your body weight. If needed, it’s OK to start with 64 oz. and gradually increase your intake over time to hit your personalized water goal.

In addition to water, you can also enjoy these calorie-free beverages:

• Black coffee
• Iced tea, unsweetened
• Seltzer, plain or flavored
• Tea, all varieties, including black, green or herbal

Pro Tip! For a delightful twist, try enhancing your water with a burst of flavor by adding lemon wedges, cucumber slices or mint leaves. These simple additions will elevate your water-drinking experience, providing a refreshing and fruity taste that will keep you hydrated and invigorated throughout the day.
