    As many as taste good? Why are you doing it? It doesn't speed up metabolism if that's what you're trying to do.

    Thanks. I drink it because when I try to drink my daily intake of water, I start to feel sick at the stomach from drinking so much water. So I drink 4 8oz cups of water and 4 8oz cups of hot lemon water.

    You don't need to over-hydrate or drink a specific number of glasses of water every day. The old 8-glasses-a-day rule has been debunked. Instead, just make sure that you are getting enough water through whatever you drink to keep your urine straw-colored or light yellow. If your urine is bright or dark yellow, you are not fully hydrated. Water, of course, is an excellent thing to drink and if it sometimes prevents you from eating when you are really thirsty, that's good. But there's no science showing that 8-glasses of water enhances weight loss.

    Actually, bright yellow comes from B vitamins.
    But you're right about the desirability of "clear, straw-colored" urine. :smile:
