You don't say. Tell me more Daisy.
Most of the time, when we snack or think we're hungry, we're really just thirsty.
Drinking water ALONE, can help you lose weight - no exercise, no eating right, etc. but of course, there won't be much lost there if you don't do the rest. The reason lies int he fact that the body is able to flush out waste when you have enough water (poop any?) so having a regular time in the bathroom for number 2 comes with good water and a good fiber-ific diet.
Why do I know this? Have tried it. Whenever I look at my food journals and see that I have been eating a lot of sugary snacks - mostly candy and cookies, it's because I haven't been drinking much water. And.... for the thousands of dollars my mom paid for me to go to charm school when I was 19, the first thing the fitness expert told us was... start drinking more water if you aren't already. So from that day on, as much as I hated water.. I have started (tips on making it taste better include adding a slice of lemon, orange or cucumber). Some people think water will bloat them... not true. Instead, water helps rid your body of excess water ... try it if you don't believe me.
The prescribed amount is 8 glasses per day... but who uses glasses right? I probably drink about two Nalgene bottles (that's one liter per bottle or 34 ounces each). If you drink water bottles, look at the ounces and try to get around 64 ounces a day (a coke bottle is about 16 ounces or two cups and a normal water bottle like the one I'm drinking below is around 16-17 ounce a day so four a day of those.. or more!)
Yes, that's a lot of pee-ing and makes it hard if you're in a line of work (teachers... sorry) where you can't go often.. but it's what's good for you!
So H 2 to O, get your drink on.
