Sorry guys/gals but I would like to know the formula for converting Ounces into litres. I drink 2-4 litres of water a day (well should be), and you people all talk of ounces and I don't know how to convert that. Thanks

I better start drinking water! I mean I actually knew this already but when it's visually out there for me to see then I will drink it. I am a busy girl, usually, so I forget about taking care of myself. I don't usually start drinking any water until I am dehydrated. Smart, huh? Okay... I have to keep this in mind. Now that I am a new member to this site you all will help me keep it real! Thanks for this post. I need it!

as a biology student; the reason why you pee is because the water that is coming out is actually full of salt. The reason one should drink alot of water is because the salt that is stuck in the kidneys.

Don't pay high prices for little bottles of bottled water, that are most often worse than your tap water ran through a carbon taste filter. Buy distilled water, by the gallon. 99 cents or less at almost any grocery store. 100% pure, it is hands down the best tasting, you will guzzle it like it has flavor. And the purity itself does actually bring its own flavor. And beagle, you could maybe use some crystal light mix or something to spice it up if you wanted, but its really best you get away from the whole carbonated soda thing.

What is the diffrence between normal flitered water and distilled water?

Distilled water is boiled, then the steam is collected and bottled. All the impurities remain in the boiler, so 100% H2O is the final product. Filtered water still contains lots of trace impurities that make it taste bad. No wonder people don't like drinking regular water!

hi all.
to me drinking plenty of water is very important especially when on diet.
i drink at least 2 litre (8 glasses) but usually i drink 3 litre of water in a day (12 glasses).

i have one tip... if u dont really like plain water... u can squeeze some lemon juice....(do not add sugar!) ive tried this but i prefer plain water.

What an interesting topic! I never used to drink water before I started exercising again. Since that, water is so much more appealing for some reason! I bought a 34 oz/1000 mL water bottle (too bad it doesn't fit in my elliptical water bottle holder), and fill it up and drink it for lunch. If I finish, I re-fill it and drink some more and it does the job!

I often have a problem as to WHEN to drink and I think sometimes I don't drink enough. When I wake up in the morning, my mouth is utterly dry and I know it's because I didn't drink enough water before I went to bed! So I think drinking a few glasses before hitting the sack is a great idea and will probably solve the problem. I also have a problem when it comes to exercising - they say to drink before you get thirsty, and that's hard for me, so I just drink it periodically throughout the workout.

Thank you all for the good info on water! I never knew...

Actully it does make a big difference. I use to drink a diet pepsi every night until I got this in a news letter from Beachbody. I quote:


Diet soda. Like most people, you probably think, "Diet soda contains no calories or sugar, so I can drink as much as I want and lose weight, right?" Wrong. Diet sodas are loaded with artificial sweeteners that convince the brain that it's real sugar, so the body releases insulin to help metabolize the artificial sweetener. Since there's no real sugar present, the excess insulin performs its other task of signaling the body to store fat—not exactly great for your waistline

Now I only have a diet pepsi once in a blue moon as a treat. It has helped. I pretty much only drink water (but mostly because I don't like other things like jucie and such. I really like water), coffee in the morning on weekends some times. It has helped to cut it out of my diet.

Hope this helps answer you question.

Regardless of what you drink before bed, you will wake up dehydrated after 8 hours of sleep, thats a given. So you don't want to be flooding yourself with liquid before you goto bed and be waking up in the night having to use the bathroom and stuff. Just wake up thirsty, and pound a couple glasses to get your day started.

WONDERWOMAN TO THE RESCUE- bravo, I also agree with what you have said. I think at a certain number of lbs the increase changes or stays the same. Water means only simple water, when its juice it changes the way your body metabolizes it and takes much more time to pass through your system. Thanks so much , that's a keeper wonderwoman!!

Here is a little secret about water and weight loss that almost nobody talks about.

You need water for your body to burn fat. Here is the main reason; without water, your kidneys can not do their job properly and your liver must pitch in to help. While it's helping the kidneys, your liver can't burn as much fat, so some of the fat that would normally be used as fuel gets stored in your body instead.

Drinking more water lets the liver get back to its own job of turning fat into fuel.

this is true . water plays an important part in a person who is following a diet program . see for urselfon how water can be so important . it was very helpful to me hope it will be for u also

Great to know! I always wondered why water was so important. I just thought it helped flush out the fat....as if it was as easy as that. But actually in a why I guess it does. Thanks for the post because now that I understand the importance I will probably drink more water. If not for me for my liver.

thanks!
