A lot of people have asked me... "Well how do you manage to drink a gallon of water a day"

Here is my answer...

I have a gallon of water that I pretty much carry around with me... (yes its heavy)

Throughout the day I use it..not only to drink but to use it with meals and such... this is what I do.

I drink it to take my morning vitamins.
I use it in my post work out shake.
I use it in my lunch (I usually have eggs and to make them more "fluffy" I add water (from the gallon)

That is about a half gallon right there..its not even 1pm yet.

My afternoon tea..(I use my water from the gallon)
For dinner, I mix it in whatever foods I am cooking
at 9pm I have a lemon water drink that is nice and warm...theres more water
I also have a banana smoothie...yep I add more water.

Then the rest is left for me to drink.
And there you have it... my schedule to drink a gallon of water a day.
Not only is my face clear and glowing, I have so much energy. Yes I pee a lot...it's all part of the job =)

Thanks for reading.

    I'm 100% with you on this. I'm closer to 1.5 gallons a day normally and even more than that on WO days. After my coffee, that's all I have to drink. Never leave the house without it. Easy peasy! Cheers!! :drinker:

    I get pretty darn close to a gallon a day. It's not hard. I rarely drink anything else.

    I fill up my gallon and put it on my desk. Just keep refilling my cup all day. :drinker: It's not hard if you have it sitting there and see it and know that's how much you have to drink.

    During training I drink 1 gallon, then another gallon through the day. Just get a big bottle. It's not hard at all.

    I drink about a gallon and a half as well. I have a 28 oz water bottle, which I like because refilling it gives me a chance to get up from my desk and stretch my legs. I drink 2 bottles before lunch, 2 after, and 2-4 more after work and through the evening.

    I am also making it to just over a gallon day. Fill it up in the morning and then user/drink all day. Your plan makes it simple to put into action!! :smile:

    Good for you. I drink at least 3 liters. I have an app that I keep track of my water intake. I take a bottle with me when I go out and it's a Nalgene that's marked so I know how much I've had. People need to do whatever motivates them most. I keep a jug of filtered water in the fridge and try to consume it in a day. I also drink green tea, which counts.

    when i'm at my most motivated, I shoot for a gallon and a half. I use a 32 oz cup to get the job done. fill it once before breakfast, drink a second one during breakfast and until lunch, a third with lunch and the following few hours. Then while at work I use my 32oz bottle and usually fill it 3 times while there. after a while, it's mindless!

    question - so it is a fact then that if I drink so much water, I need to pee like every 15 min and I'm completely normal for this right? lol (not really joking lol)....
