Never overfill yourself. Eat until you are satisfied but do not overeat. Remember, you can always pack food up and save it for later. Remember this tip when you got out to eat at a restaurant or fast food!

I think perhaps the point was to swap out the coffee, pop, and other things for water.
That's what I have done, and after a while, I didn't drink anything but water. I sometimes have a Mello Yello or Coke, but that is part of a cheat meal that I allow myself about twice a month.0
