is flavored water ok to drink when dieting to lose weight? i get the generic cheap stuff... it says its calorie, caffiene, sugar adn sodium FREE. it has 0 carbs,0 sugars, 0 protein and it contains... carbonated water, citric acid, aspartame, potassium benzoate (preservative),potassium citrate, natural flavor and it also contains phenylalanine. i'm not sure if that helps or not, :) but i was just wondering...

It's likely a better option than pop. Do you not like regular, plain old water? What's the reason for the flavoured?

stick with regular water and add some lemon...stay away from all the chemicals and get some natural flavouring.
