8 glasses if water a day?
 

Seems faily impossible. Ive been trying it for a few days now and i lost some weight (im already tiny tho) and skin is completely clear. But i feel like i can drink 8 beers or 8 glasses or jack and coke no problem. when it comes to water... HOLY SH*T

water is overrated.

Could be a sign you have a drinking problem and you are in denial about your weight issue.

Slowly ramp up your drinking about for a week. Its hard to go from a small amount of water all the way up to 8 glasses. I do about a gallon per day sometimes more on my workout days. Temperature outside also plays a big role in the amount I end up drinking too.

oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!111111 1 :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Last year when I lost 20lbs I drank a gallon of water a day. I think it took me about a month. It's amazing how much less you eat when you have enough water in your body.

My daughter carries the gallon jug around with her and drinks a gallon a day.

When I'm not dieting, It's very hard for me to drink it unless I'm doing outdoor activites.

You can infuse with stuff you like? Cucumber, lemon? Or buy those little squirt in things...I can't remember what they are called.

Your SKIN will continue to be fabulous for sure.

I drink loads of water these days...

Hot water is easier to drink than cold. ;)

hey Phil, is there any research that shows drinking a shit ton of water is actually good for people? excluding people who do extremely dehydrating activitiies of course.

You might want to try drinking Smart Water ........

.

what exactly are you trying to say here Mister? I will water-board you.

So try less, maybe 6 would be easier for you? And maybe still enough for the nice skin :)
Report back in a few days.

Good point. I drink a lot of room temp water.

Water is horrible for you. It only makes up 60% of your body. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh


More people die per year from drinking too much water than smoking pot.

Honestly never really looked into it. I just drink when I'm thirsty and don't feel like its excessive. If I start using the bathroom every 5-10 minutes then i'll cut back a bit. I just read my body for what I'm doing at the time. I think that's what everyone should do in all honesty.

didnt even realize how terrible my spelling was lol. but yeah i like trying new things specially healthy living and different exercises going to work my way up to the 8 and report back :)

I drink a ton of water. I have a bottle open on my desk, and another in reserve. I try to drink as much as I can, and I've lost thirty pounds in the past year.

true story!

makes sense. i seem to recall coming across something re: the gallon of water a day thing going way overboard. get it, overboard. water. n/m.

Either you want to commit to change and want to do what your body requires to function and maintain itself - or you don't. It is that simple.

I train usually 4 hrs a day or more - Boxing, Muay Thai and running and I drink 2 gallons or more a day. Not because I love water, but because my body needs that much water at my size to function and perform and to recover and repair.

Apart from The low risk of water toxicity, you can flush out water soluble vitamins/salts and some minerals.

There has to be context and proper nutrition and supplementation targeted to work load and goals

By the time you are thirsty, you are already mildy dehydrated

I drink minimum of 5 litres of water every day. In the beginning it was hard to drink so much water but after doing it for 10 years, you will miss not having it. Anytime I go on vacation now I feel crappy when I'm not drinking so much water due to being busy all the time.

Is that your before picture in your avatar?:winkwink:

vodka hasn't the weight issues :winkwink:

I drink about 7 maybe 8 bottles of water a day if I'm only drinking water. That's the 16.7 FL Oz or .5L bottles. Not sure how much that equates to vs a "glass" of water.

Drinking a lot of water will cause you to have a high metabolism so that would explain your weight loss. I've naturally always had a high metabolism, so I didn't notice an difference. I actually have a hard time gaining weight.

My crutch lately has been hitting McD's and getting a sweet tea.. That shit is addicting.

I drink when I am thirsty, unless I am so "occupied" that I have to remind myself to drink, eat, etc.

8 glasses of water; hmm.. lets see; I drink somewhat dehydrating coffee 3 cups and about a cup of water to equal those cups. That is 6 cups already. Plus the water drinking I can't count. All water intake counts by the way.

But certain Mericans drink way too much water as it is trendy to drink much water. That is one of the "Only in Merica" things those get on headlines around here. If you drink gallon a day, it is too much unless you live in some really hot place and under heavy exercise, or something like that.

I drink only two glassess of wather not more

Only? I am taking 3liters easy

No, that's now. I gained a little back. :helpme

I never counted my many cups of tea a day as water intake! No wonder I'm never thirsty for it unless I'm not in drinking tea.

The reason I drank the water last year to lose weight is because a guy friend of mine swore by it, he lost 70lbs drinking a gallon a day, and running. For me it worked for what I wanted.

I think it's our beer?

How about 8 glasses of jack and water?

I think the old rule is 8 cups (as in an 8 oz measuring cup) per day. That's equal to half a gallon.

Yes, drinking much water helps to ease the hunger. That is why many people with some sort of eating disorder gets also these water poisonings. So yes, it works for diet purposes, but is not recommended due being a tad dangerous.

wtf?????????????

Do you guys remember the woman who did a competition on the radio show on who could drink more water? She died a few hours later if I recall correctly. BUT it was a very short amount of time (I think an hour) to drink a LOT of water.

She was doing it to get an xbox for her kids. It may have been local to my area.

Google does all the remembering for me!

Woman in water-drinking contest dies - US news - Life | NBC News

Obviously google remembers better than me. I'm getting old I guess. :Oh crap

I agree that some old people don't see a difference between wii and xbox. You were mostly correct though. It was a contest to see who could drink the most water (without peeing).

And they said they let the contestants know if you are uncomfortable at any time, you can stop. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I liked playing Sega myself. I was pretty good at John Madden football.
