Please can anyone help, I have read that I can drink water with lemon in, but I don't fide this a strong enough taste. Is it ok to use the juice from the bottles ( like u put on pancakes not squash) I have a bottle of lemon and one of lime the lable on each says one carb per 100 ml. My first week has gone well so don't want to spoil it now
Many thanks

lemon juice is usually 9 or 10 percent carbs - for the undiluted juice - so perhaps the one gram of carb is for diluting it maybe ten parts of water to one of juice?

I used to do this but my dentist said the lemon is damaging the enamel on my teeth so not such a good idea if you are bothered by that.

Water with slices of lemon in it is nice, but it may not be strong enough for you, but always be careful with the acid from the lemons.
