Hi, Turtlehurder. Kefir is wonderful, and I would encourage you to keep drinking it. It is only as “fattening” as the basic material and if your overall daily intake of everything is more than you burn off.

Sharon, about the kefir water, I have become to love the taste and have started drinking more daily. Can you tell me, if fermented correctly, is it fattening at all? Is there a daily recommended intake? Also, when is the best times of the day to drink it? Do I need to take a break from drinking it ever so often?

Hey Labell and welcome.
Here is a site for instructions. http://wellnessmama.com/2261/water-kefir-soda/ And I ordered my grains from the site listed there. http://store.kombuchakamp.com/ The grains come already hydrated, two tablespoons and ready to use. You’ll need 3 0r 4 mason jars, a nylon or plastic strainer, tap well water works good and sugar. http://www.culturesforhealth.com/water-kefir-ingredients Have these ready and start making it as soon as you get the kefir grains. I like it unflavored but here is a site for flavoring it if you want. http://blog.culturesforhealth.com/tips-for-carbonating-fermented-beverages/ I have only been making it for 2 weeks but did a lot of reseach so may be able to help if you need. Good luck with all.

Sharon, I’ve just started making kefir water. I’m planning on drinking it first thing in the mornings and some in the evenings. I have been drinking 6 ozs water first thing in the mornings with fresh squeezed lemon juice. Could I squeeze the lemon into the kefir water or would that alter either’s benefits?
