I don't worry too much about my salt intake as I have pretty normal blood pressure. But I do notice that after a day of some particularly salty meals, my weight would go up even though my calorie intake was according to plan. This also happens when I don't drink enough water. Make sure you do take in the recommended eight…

Wow, that's tough and good luck. I hope that the diet came with some recipe ideas because I can't think of much I've had over the last month where some key ingredients aren't on your list. A few years ago my wife amazed the local allergy clinic with the explosion of reactions to their various patch tests. However, we've…

That's a good point. I would say that anything with calories has to be logged in as a food. I log smoothies as food having separated the components in a recipe prior. Other than that, besides water, I really only drink black coffee and unsweetened tea. No point in logging them in as meals, so sometimes I log it in as water…

It's really working well for me so far. I just had my second week weigh-in and I lost 9.5 pounds so far. Not a hint of exercise yet... saving that for my trump in the second month! I would have to say that the seven to eight cups of green tea every day has to be helping, I do drink at least 32 ounces of pure water every…

If you can without puking it up, it would probably help to hydrate you as well provide some level of satiety. Then again, you might get the munchies!

Terri_May - Honestly, I just started in my company's biggest loser contest two weeks ago. Green tea replacing my coffee was just added into the mix since I'm adding anything into my diet that research has positively shown to help speed up the metabolic rate or otherwise help you lose weight. Included in my diet are lots of…

What I want to know from the only-water-is-counted-as-water folks is what practical difference it makes? I haven't seen the prediction for my projected weight loss go up or down based on whatever I put in so I would like to know what MFP is doing with those entries. That is, other than as just a reminder that most of us…

Terri_May - I feel wonderful! The biggest deal is that I've lost what I thought was a permanent situation of acid reflux since I switched to weeks ago. This is a big deal to me as I'm a nuts for spicy foods, and I really pushed the limits lately there, but still no need for the Pepcid! Other then that though, perfectly…

How about a nice cup of green tea instead? Although I haven't completely replaced my three-pot-a-day coffee adiction with pure water yet, green tea has taken over my afternoon and evening liquid consumption. It might just be better for you than pure water! I do still drink a 16 once glass of water with or before every meal.

I just read recently that Coffee isn't dehydrating, although it is a mild diuretic. That study showed that the body's hydration level only increases with cofee consumption. I log my tea and coffee consumption as if it was pure water. That said, there's nothing better for you than pure water. Except for maybe cofee and tea!…
