Even if the story is streched a bit, we still need to drink more water!

Rep Power: 32 | | | One tip that may people may find helpful is to put your water into a bigger container. For example, I use a 750mL CamelBak water bottle. It's much easier for me to tell myself that I'm going to drink two of these before lunch and two after, then drink probably the equivalent of one at night. That ends up being about a gallon a day. Otherwise it's hard for people to constantly run back and forth to fill up smaller glasses, plus it's harder to know exactly how much you're getting. With these water bottles, I know that 5 is a little over a gallon. |

Isn't that a tad much? | I would say so. That's about 2 gallons per day, probably 17 pounds worth of water per day! I've seen even the most hardcore of athletes who would brag about how much water they drink only drinks 1.5 gallons on a regular basis. There's no reason for a normal person to drink that much. I try to drink a gallon but that's probably pushing it just a little. I only do that because I ride bikes so much. |

On another note, pouring some baking soda down the bath/shower drain and then pouring some viniger afterwards cleans all the body fat and crap out of the pipes real well. Go easy on the products though eh - they react and make a nice foamy acid |

Rep Power: 0 | |  Soup!
Morning,
I'm new here and have just re-again made the connection with drinking water and losing weight.
My question is the following - I love making soups out of chicken, beef, veggies, etc. It makes up quite a lot of my water intake. Would you say this contributes towards the 64 ounces of water one should drink?
Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 | | Hi everyone,
I have actually put a dirty copper coin into coke and let it sit in the coke for a couple of minutes. The coin comes out very shiny and clean looking new. Hate to think what it must do to our insides.  | | |
