I've always had trouble drinking 8 glasses of water per day

I think drinking all that water is so over rated! I drink when I am thirsty. I don't stress over it. I drink quite a bit, not always water, unless it has lemon or something it it. I also like sparkling water with lemon, I don't worry about how much Water I drink. I am more concerned about not eating a lb of sugar a day!0

A friend who is a dietician explained to me that the whole "8 glasses a day" thing is indeed a myth. Some agency was making a "food pyramid" type poster and along the bottom depicted eight glasses, just to signify that lots of fluid is good. This has been interpreted as an eight glass a day "rule". But everyone's body is different, and as people here have pointed out, we do get water from other sources. My two cents is don't worry about it until it becomes a problem. If your weight loss stalls, you feel yukky, whatever.
It's not broke. Don't fix it.0
