I'm one of those people. Plain water just doesn't satisfy my craving most of the time.

Especially in hot weather when im active I can literally drink myself sick on "plain" water and still feel the need to drink more.

Add just about any type of flavoring (even in less than recommended amounts) and suddenly I can drink reasonable amounts of water and feel satisfied.

Yea it’s called electrolytes, dude. Even a tiny bit of salt in the water will help a lot. It isn’t a “craving”; you just sweat out a bunch of salt and straight water will dilute you even further.

And I don’t think anyone who’s a big hydrohomie, myself included, will make fun of you for smashing a gatorade in a heatwave. I love plain water but I’ll do that if I really need something now.

I was surprised to find Gatorade doesn't contain HFCS, just sugar and dextrose (and yeah, misc. electrolytes, including salt). I think unfortunately people mostly drink it sitting on a couch instead of in the middle of exercise, so it's not really appropriate.

While electrolytes definitely help, it's literally any flavoring. And again even with tiny amounts added (think hints of flavor) I'm good.

I used the hot weather drinking to simply emphasize. Even in cold weather plain water doesn't usually satisfy the craving to drink for me.

I like how you were taught something cool, and instead of choosing to learn, you rejected it and continued living in delusion.

I like how you completely missed that what Soup was talking about doesn’t apply to thejoker954’s situation.

[–] chloroken@lemmy.ml -1 points 4 days ago

I didn't miss anything.

I wonder if you're missing something from you're diet you're not aware of. That doesn't seem normal.

It's what plants crave.

Its probably more like i conditioned myself to only think flavored water is satisfying
