Calorie Free and Delicious

Great Alternative to water
Once in a while I run across a product worth telling others about.  In this case I'm bragging about Clear American Sparkling Water (pictured right).

Most people are always trying to fight the desire to take in empty calories.  These come mostly in the form of snacks and drinks which are full of sugar, salt, fat, and carbohydrates. 

It's a battle to resist these temptations is never-ending.  The reason that that these ingredients are included in the worst of the worst foods we consume is because of their appeasing impact on our taste sensory, and ability to make us feel full or even satisfied.

I've never been a fan of either either of the liquids on the extreme side of the equation - soda, or water.  Soda, loaded with sugar, leaves you full but also leaves you with a massive crash about an hour after consuming it.

Water, on the other hand,  is fairly blah.  Just about every trainer will tell you that you need to drink plenty of it -  before, during, and after workouts - usually a gallon a day for routine workouts, and up to two gallons for runners and intense workouts.  I'm not suggesting that you substitute water for Clear American, but as far as a casual drink goes its not bad at all.  It has zero sodium and no calories is a great start.

Moreover, the taste is phenomenal.  The fruit versions actually taste like the fruit pictured which is a departure from the majority of sparkling waters or seltzer drinks on the market. And to be clear, while there is no nutritional value in this drink - its more about giving you a choice to eliminate empty carbs, sugars and sodium.

So give it a try.
