Normally, we get a fair amount of water from our foods. When you reduce the amount of food you're consuming, it's easy to inadvertently dehydrate yourself. Even mild dehydration has negative effects on your body and your weight loss, so it's best to aim for at least 8 8oz glasses of water per day to protect your health. If you exercise or live in hot weather, you will likely need even more than that.0

I feel like I'm sloshing around trying to drink that much but I'm still trying, it's almost as bad as being preggers and having to run to the bathroom several times a day...lol.0

Your bathroom trips should decrease as you get used to drinking more. (At least, many people find that it happens that way.)0 -
