    Hi all,
    So day 1 week 1 and I’ve got this far, or should that be we as my partner is joining me on this journey too!
    I’m a guy who until recently has never had to worry about diet but after a horrible couple of years with a change in homelife along with injuries meaning I’ve not been so active I’ve got to the point that I’m pretty ashamed of my weight gain.

    Anyway day 1 has gone fairly well but i just have a quick question that you guys may be able to answer… is it ok to add lemon/lime juice (the bottled Jif type stuff) to water? Not huge amounts, maybe a tsp of both?
    Thanks in advance guys

    Hi Vulcan463 welcome to you both. I cant see any harm in using the Jif lemon or lime in drinks as it is almost pure juice. However, dont even think of using PLJ. I had used it years ago so decided to try it again and it made my pee glow in the dark, then you know there is something wrong. Good luck.

    Welcome to the community Vulcan463 andpartner 🙂 Yes, lemon and lime are fine as long as there’s no added sugar.
    You might prefer a water bottle with a diffuser – you can get them at most supermarkets – to which you can add quartered lemon and lime. Tastes much nicer.

    Thanks Sunshine! This is the bit I’m struggling with most as I’m a bit of a coffee fiend (easily 8-9 cups a day) but as I take my coffee with sugar I’ve had to go cold turkey :/
