Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 I am SO tired of hearing that people need half their body weight of water in ounces because if I take one more drink of water today (and it's only 11 a.m.) I am going to puke! Please help ... what do you do to help yourself drink water? Sipping hot water does NOT help. Lemon in the water does nothing for me. I have sort of tried to make it a habit but I will tell you...after awhile I start getting yucky about it. Does hot tea count if it is herbal? What about juices that have been done with a juicer? I truly do not like water. I have made myself drink it and it is a habit now but YUCK! BTW... I have already seen the benefits of water so I just need some ideas to help me drink it!

In fact, I believe just the opposite. I think a little thirst and hunger are good for you...makes you stronger. The " drink as much as you want " (or as much as you can) idea does not seem natural. I don't subscribe to the idea that the body needs to be " flushed-out " (with lots of water), like an old radiator, or rusty water pipes. Too much water is a burden on the kidneys. Nature seems to favor a kind of dynamic balance...feast and fast. Which is better: To water the lawn a little bit everyday, or give it a thorough soaking once a week? If you really want to drink more...move to Arizona and take a job in heavy construction. Eat more ham. My two cents...let the flames begin. db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 UH OH... did I start something again. To tell you the truth if I didn't force myself to drink, I wouldn't. I used to get all my water through my food. I loved fruit when I was thirsty or a freezy pop. I do like tea but other than that... I'm not a drinker.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 I see an accupressurist here in Ohio and he and I talked about this very thing. What may be right for me, may not be right for you. He says to check your urine color. If it is light yellow, then you are consuming enough water, if it is dark, you need to drink more. He also mentioned that you may need to stop supplements for a few days to check urine color,as some supplements change your urine color. So personally, I drink ALOT of water, and it is what is right for me. But I'm one of those weird people who doesn't drink anything else. But my grandmother also messed up her electrolyte (sp?) balance several years ago by drinking toooooo much. --- Dave Berntson <dbern@...> wrote: > On Wed, 18 Jul 2001 11:27:29 -0400, you wrote: > > > > >I am SO tired of hearing that people need half their body weight of > water > >in ounces because if I take one more drink of water today (and it's > only 11 > >a.m.) I am going to puke!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2001 Report Share Posted July 19, 2001 No flames here dave.... I don't agree with the water requirements I have here everywhere. If I'm thirsty, I drink - but I don't force myself to drink. There is no evidence anywhere for any of these claims that name ludicrous amounts of water drinking.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 By the time your body is thirsty, it is already dehydrated. There is proof to water requirments. Let's just look at the fact that your body is 70% water. If most of your body is water it would make since that the most important thing your body needs is water. And since your body is made up of alot of water, than you need a lot of water to replinish it. >From: Shelby <helminger@...> >Reply-Vaccinations >Vaccinations >Subject: Re: WATER? >Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 17:22:34 -0400 > >No flames here dave....

Do you have any proof of this, or even a credible source (not an anonymous e-mail forward)? I hear it all the time but have never seen it substantiated. It just doesn't seem logical to me that our bodies would work this way - it's like saying by the time you feel sick, you're already dead. > There is proof > to water requirments.

Stands to reason that many of the solid foods we eat contain large percentages of water - and that we, like many animals, can probably get most of our daily water requirements just from eating...... especially if we're eating lots of fresh/raw fruits and veggies. > If most of your body is water it would make since that the most > important thing your body needs is water. > And since your body is made up of > alot of water, than you need a lot of water to replinish it.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 That is not a good comparison. A better one would be that, buy the time you feel the symptoms the problem is already there. Your body makes you feel bad to tell you that something is wrong. You do not all of a sudden get sick. Your problem just progresses until you actually show the effects of the problem. Hence, when you get thirsty it is already too late. >From: Shelby <helminger@...> >Reply-Vaccinations >Vaccinations >Subject: Re: WATER? >Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 16:06:46 -0400 > > > >Lashanna Small wrote: > > > By the time your body is thirsty, it is already dehydrated. > >Do you have any proof of this, or even a credible source (not an >anonymous e-mail forward)?

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2001 Report Share Posted July 22, 2001 Hi I find it hard to drink water myself so now what I do is I add water to whatever I am drinking within reason, just add a little bit, even if it is 2 table spoons...increase it as you feel comfortable... It may not seem like much but eventually over time you will be drnking more water than you realized....

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I understand why it is important to eat all organic on the hcg diet but why not tap water? I know it is not as good (obviously) as pure water, but is it mandatory? I have spent alot of money I don't have already.. Also, on the first few days of binging, I didn't have much water at all. How will this affect the next phase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
