I was looking around online and found this melon juice recipe from dr. Oz. It consists of:
3 cups melon
2 cups water
1 cup coconut water
Your supposed to only have to drink 5 cups a day to be hydrated (as opposed to 8 glasses of water I guess?) Anyone try out this water and find it helps with reducing water weight and feeling hydrated, or anyother benefits from it? Let me know!!

Might taste good, may help you drink more water, has absolutely NO magical weight loss benefits at all.
Bonus point: Dr Oz is a quack charlatan. He doesn't give a fig for your weight or health, only for his wallet.0 -
I don't like coconut anything so I wouldn't like it. It is no more hydrating than any other liquids though, so I would just eat the melon and drink my water.0
-
Yeah I was thinking similar thoughts. I think i may use it just as a soda or juice alternative but i dont think it was do much for weight loss either0
-
if Dr. Oz endorses it- I pretty won't go near it. he's such a wackadoo.0

It's missing the rum - then I might consider it.0

yeah- I mean I'm all about drinking "infused" water...(speaking of- why everything has to have a name now I have no idea- I mean hell we just threw fruit/citrus in our water when we were younger because it was refreshing and different than just water. But it wasn't magical.)
Anyway- sorry
If you like flavored water drink it. It's not going to do jackall for you other than make you happy and drink more LOL
also- it's to early to be on the forums- I'm not well caffeinated.0 -
That's a lot of fruit and a little water. Is it supposed to be a "natural" alternative to sports/energy drinks?
I don't get it.
If I want to be hydrated, I'll drink water. If I want fruity water, I'll throw some lemon in it.
If I want melon, I'll EAT some melon.

anything dr oz says I do the exact opposite.0

Did anyone else find this disturbing? That makes no logical sense whatsoever.
OP, coconut water has a great electrolyte profile, so you can just drink that once in a while. I like to bring powdered coconut water backpacking because it replaces lost electrolytes at the end of the day (Gatorade will do the same thing).0 -

"Dr oz" is my cue to keep reading.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. O wait, that's the Wizard of Oz.
But seriously, there is no way that 5 cups of water will give you as much water as 8 cups of water. The only reason to think that this statement might be true is if it only takes 5 cups of water for a person to be hydrated. I've seen recommendations that women get 11.5 glasses of water per day and men should get 15.5 glasses per day. My water intake is somewhere around the 15.5 glasses mark, though I don't spend much time tracking it. To say I would only need a third of that if I drink this magic water is a little farfetched.0 -
Can someone define/quantify "glass of water" who the hell makes up these recommendations?!0

A "glass of water" is 8 fluid ounces of water.0 -

Why can't they just say that, instead of speaking to people like they're kindergarteners.0

5 cups of water and then eating the 3 cups of melon would possibly provide similar hydration to 8 cups of water. The melon is mostly water. Actually, most of a person's hydration comes from food anyway.0

Not everyone needs the same amount of water. Check the urine color.

It has been said millions of times over the last 50 or so years since the 8 glasses of water was first recommended. They figure people have heard it enough that the 8 oz. is now understood and that (reasonably intelligent) people no longer need to have it spelled out for them every time.

^^^ know, what I'm saying is not only is that recommendation completely wrong, but that they dumbed it down so far that it makes even less sense.0
