Get The Benefits of Drinking Water- Without Drinking Water
Okay girl, so the doctor says that you need to drink two liters of water a day in order to be hydrated, in order to get that body you want, that flat tummy, that slim waist, that glowy skin. But here’s the problem— because as easy as that sounds, it’s virtually impossible for you because you hate water. Don’t worry honey, I hate water too.
Which is why I came up with different ways to drink water—not just to get it over and done with, but to actually enjoy getting that hydration in. With my lazy girl method to getting hydrated You can get all the benefits: slim waist, flat tummy, glowy skin, healthy kidneys—without the punishment of drinking plain H2O.
I’ve got:
- Different additives
- Three smart drink recipes more beneficial than plain water
- Two method to help your body absorb water on a cellular level, so you’re truly hydrated without spending all day in the bathroom.
- And a way to help you check if its working
- Water Flavorings
Water flavors are super easy. Just buy your favorite flavor drops (low-acid) or slice up a lemon, add a sweetener (stevia, erythritol, or whatever you love), dump it in your 2L bottle, shake, and enjoy.

Why it works: Flavored water increases palatability, which studies show improves overall water intake and hydration levels.
Bonus: Lemon adds detox benefits—citric acid supports liver detoxification and kidney function.
