adamsr 0 #4 May 4, 2005 yeah i keep hearing you're meant to drink 2 litres a day. I hate tap water, but bottled water is alright. I still never drink enough though, if i drink 2 litres i just end up going to the toilet all day... seems like a waste!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanduh 0 #6 May 4, 2005 I drink at least a gallon a day. Sounds like a lot, but the more you think about it..it's pretty easy. To start just keep a bottle of water (in a mug or something) around you at all times. In the car, at your desk, next to your bed...etc. You dont have to down it all at once...just keep it around to drink and when you look at it, just drink it! TEEHEE Or just sip on it throughout the day if that's all you can do. It's really good to up the amount you drink, flushes out all those nasty toxins! You will also notice your skin wont get as dry (around cuticles, etc)...does WONDERS for your complexion!

The first week or so it seems like you're CONSTANTLY running to the bathroom, after that it's ok because your body adjusts to the situation. I usually drink 3 liters of water a day, in addition to my morning cups of coffee and whatever beverage I have with my meals.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ccowden 0 #12 May 4, 2005 People are so over-concerned with drinking water. Yes, it is important, yes, you need it, but you don't have to be constantly drinking water. Liz, at your weight, you should only need like 70 ounces a day. That really isn't that much and is pretty easy to do. Drink a pints sized glass about 3 times a day, that's it. Plus, if you drink other juices and things, the water in that counts too. Your body will only use so much water. If you are drinking tons of it and toting a water bottle around all day, you are wasting your time and energy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Rebecca 0 #13 May 4, 2005 My roommate in college used to make a big pitcher of Crystal Light everyday and drink the whole thing to make sure she was getting enough water. After a while, she noticed that she was forgetting conversations that just happened and other little things. A friend of hers asked about her daily Nutrasweet intake - turns out all that Crystal Light was frying her short-term memory. She stopped drinking it, and her memory went back to normal. Bottom line - water good, sweetened water OK, LOTS of sweetened water bad. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

You will get used to the amount of water you need to drink and it won't be such an effort. On top of the minimum, you also should consume 8 ounces of water per 20 minutes of exercise. But that is easy, cuz if you suck down onw Gatorade or something, you are pretty much covered.
