I guess I could do some homework on this, but thought it might be more fun to hear your comments. Which one do you like better? Is the nutritional value the same for both? I am currently dieting, and am encouraged to drink lots of water with lemon. Well I hate water with lemon. I like lime!!!! So I am enjoying my lime water, but it got me to thinking, is it "working" the same as lemon water would? Thanks for your comments!!
Depends on what it's on...I like lime on anything mexican....I like lemon on fish...like both in deserts and drinks :). I say go with the lime water. If you want to get technical...limes have more calcium and vitamin A...lemon's have more vitamin C...you can look it up on nutritiondata.com :).
Here is a site that describes lemons and limes have the same nutritional content as well has giving reasons that they healthy for us to consume.

Putting lemon or lime juice in water is adding good nutrients to our diet. It is much more than making the water taste good.
Oh I think it's just that lemons are the "common" thing to put in water.
Limes will work just fine.
The point is to get you to drink water-so yes, it's working.
I used to hate drinking water.
But you know what, you teach your body to like it by drinking lots of it.
I like both lemon and lime.
Love lemon on my salad!
HTH!
If you like cucumber, try that once in your water.. I was at a cafe and they had different kinds of water (well just tap water with different things floating in it) the one I was surprised I liked was cucumber water.. quite refreshing..
To answer your question I like both but I think I prefer lemon over lime.. I find lime to be a little more bitter.
No sure if lime is better then lemons, BUT if lime makes you drinks more water then lemon IT IS WORTH IT.
I like both for different things, I like lemons for tea and water and I like lime for food.

I don't think it makes that much of a difference - they are both citrus, they both contain vit c and if they get you to drink more water instead of soda, it's probably all the same.
oooh J.:
Tough call!! I love Lemonade!!! But I love Limeade too!!!
I love what I can "spice" up with both of them - so really - it's not either or - it's BOTH!!!
ETA: I love either one in my water. As long as you are drinking water - that's the goal!! If one tastes better to you - go for it!
yep, the nutritional value is about the same, so it should work the same as lemon water would! Are you drinking Lemonade or just putting a lemon in your water to give a lemon taste? Personally I like Lemonade but if water with lime makes you drink more, go for it.
good luck with your dieting! :)
