It is recommended to drink half you body weight in ounces of water if you're trying to lose weight. I'm not there yet but I have a cool water bottle which I think is a good idea if you struggle with drinking water. It really helps me to drink more, and I look good holding it. Ha ha! It holds 30 oz. so I am on 2 a day and slowly working my way up to 3 1/2.
When I drink more water I can tell a difference, and I think it also improves my moods. So like I said, drink and be merry.
Here's tips I like to use.
*Drink a big glass of water right before you eat a meal. It always fills me up so I eat less.
*Also, I love Diet Mt. Dew so I have cut way back on drinking them, but if I drink any now I will balance it out with a glass of water. So, if I drink a glass of Diet Dew, then I will chase it down with a glass of water to balance it out and flush out the toxins that come with it. I'm not going to deprive myself of the things I like, but I will cut back on them and try to be more balanced.
So, if you happen to pass me with a weird look on my face, legs crossed and I'm walking very fast and funny, chances are I have been drinking my water!
