  • Losing 30 pounds in 30 days is extremely unhealthy. Any more weight loss than a pound or two a week is bad for you. The first week you start any weight loss, you're likely to lose up to 5 pounds the first week, but even then, that would only be maybe 10-12 pounds in 30 days.

Great nutrients and lots of natural sugars!

  • I'd say the headaches are more due to your caffeine cutoff! I tend to get headaches if I'm dehydrated, not overly hydrated. As far as frequent ladies room visits, I've just gotten used to them :) But the only thing I can suggest is, if you aren't having trouble drinking enough water, just switch to smaller cups. I have a…

  • Herbal teas are delicious and caffeine free, and therefore should not dehydrate you. Green tea is lower in caffeine, and black tea can be nearly equal to drinking coffee. A couple cups of tea a day should be fine, I think, but I'd stick to herbal and decaf if you are worried about dehydrating yourself! NoAdditives is…
