I like a large glass of water with about 2 Tbsp of lemon juice and then 1 tsp of Stevia. Very refreshing while working out and flavorful, but not overwhelmingly strong.

Yes there is. I was shocked a while back when I heard of a young girl in Australia who actually died because she drank too much water.

I have found that adding fruit and fresh herbs work great. Put in fridge in the morning and sip on all day. I love choc mint and orange mint and a few stevia leaves. Yum

love water always have done :drinker:

@Karmynzahringer :I hear you... I used to add slices of lemon, ginger, cucumber-ginger-mint, ginger-mint etc... Once I started hitting 2 (70 oz)liters easily, I stopped them because I didn't need them anymore. Now I'm trying to be consistent with 3 liters (100 oz appx)

I have never drank a lot of water. One cup a week was stretching it. I dont like it at all. I can drink the bubbly kind that tastes good without a problem (which is what i drank during my pregnancy's). I'm really trying to drink more water now but (and this is a big but) i work 40 hours a week in a place where we are not aloud to have water any where but our lockers. Because im so used to dehydrating myself i dont get thirsty as much as i should and will go 4 hours without even realizing that i haven't drank anything. Let alone water. Has anyone ever heard of any type of sneeky water storage that i could wear on my body? Im so desperate that im willing to cheat the system.

If you hate drinking water, let your body be your guide and ask yourself why? Why does drinking a lot of water turn me off? Maybe, you are low on potassium or magnesium. Drinking water flushes minerals from your system and you can actually feel worse -- not better from that. Low potassium or magnesium can also put you at risk for stroke and heart disease. (google "magnesium and stroke" or "potassium and stroke".) Try upping your mineral intake through supplementing or eating potassium/magnesium rich foods like sweet potatoes, oranges, bananas, collards, etc. If you are working out and sweating a lot, and then drinking a lot of water you can lose too much sodium (salt) and that can give you horrible, horrible muscle spasms, which is why the NFL and other athletic associations have drinks on the field with electrolytes (thats fancy talk for minerals). Gatorade. Except I intensely dislike gatorade. ugg. At any rate, people die from lack of minerals all the time. It's the number one killer of young children in places that suffer from lack of clean water. Kids get diarrhea and poop out all of their potassium, magnesium and die from organ failure. Stops their heart. Same thing happens if you drink too much water too quickly. Remember, the lady who died from drinking a gallon of water in five minutes as a dare? Too much, too fast -- very dead.

Secondly, many water systems in the US are outrageously full of fluoride, chlorine and actual bacterial organisms. If you hate water... listen to your body... it may be trying to tell you something. Clean water actually tastes wonderful. Try different bottled waters until you find one that your body says "omg this is freaking great!" If you can't afford that water on a consistent basis, and some of them are more expensive than steak, and almost all of them are about as expensive as gas for your car -- you can do a lot to ameliorate the pitiful water that comes out of your tap. Filters for a start. If you can't afford a really good filter just letting the chlorine evaporate before you drink, is way better than drinking a teaspoon of bleach every day.

Adding lemon to bad water actually does help clean water -- it kills bacteria and adds a mini-dose of minerals while also counteracting chlorine.

I'm a great believer in listening to your body! It's not always easy to figure out what it's trying to say. But do listen. Try eating a sweet potato every day and then try increasing daily water. Does that help?

I felt better when drinking water. It's a struggle to drink enough water during the day. Doesn't help that it's in the middle of Winter.

I can handle only a few glasses of plain water a day, but I crave a carbonated drink. So I purchased a Bonneo carbanator and now drink over 80oz a day of any flavor I want.

for the last 6 months i have managed to drink 1-2litres of water per day on top of tea coffee which i dont count as water intake
i am pretty much dairy ( milk free) and have noticed the puffy bags under my eyes are no more
my facial skin is tighter, still a few lines - however i need to drop another 10-12kg to see more changes.
i excercise pretty much daily now - 5 days gym 7 days covering a 5km power walk - it all helps to tighten things up
over the last 180 days most of my weight loss has been visible on legs and trunk - have dropped 2kg off per leg and the skin has tightened up around the muscle. My trunk needs a little more time currently my stomach area has gone from being large and bursting over my trousers to now having some ripple like lines where the fat is coming off. lots of core excercise going on to reduce the skin in line with the fat loss.
