    Whenever I drink a cup of tea I count it as water, I just make sure it's actually 8oz. worth not a small one ya know?

    ^^ This!^^

    The whole "water " thing is a hydration issue. When in a dehydrated state, your metabolism slows, thus stalling your weight loss. If tea is your thing, by all means, use it as your water intake. I do!

    I pre empted it. As I said early in, drinking that much water would definitely help me lose weight, because the bathrooms at work are on the other side of the building.

    I love these (daily) threads because they allow me to safely ignore ANY advice from all the clueless members who failed elementary science.

    I only drink water from the ocean because it's in its most unprocessed form.

    ocean water is "clean".

    tap water is not.

    :laugh: :drinker:

    If it's caffeinated you shouldn't count it as water.
    Wrong.

    Read the peer-reviewed scientific studies quoted/linked in this thread, thoroughly debunking this old wives' tale about caffeine which pollutes every MFP thread about water/hydration:

    you can't win. you can hit them over their heads with truth and science today, but tomorrow you know there will be a brand new thread on this exact same topic with the exact same misinformation.

    you are now Bill Murray in your own personal Groundhog Day film.
