OT - daily requirement for water

[Guest guest]

I've often wondered how "The Water Cure" would work in the case of obesity. There must be a cut off point where the "1/2 of your body weight in ounces" can no longer apply. I would think, however, that 1/2 of your ideal body weight (for a person's height and frame) would be a bare minimum daily requirement.

The one thing wrong with that us daily requirement, doesn't take size into consideration. A 105 lb woman drinks 11 cups compared to a 260 lb womand drinking 11 cups (or even getting from other sources) doesn't make sense. Jmo

Wow, when I drink my 4 Mason jars per day I'm only one cup above the "recommended" allotment for women!

Hi ,

I'm currently getting my degree in clinical nutrition, and the daily requirement for water is 13 cups a day for men and 11 cups a day for women(these are the us requirements). this includes water you drink and from the food you eat.

Also, keep in mind this is traditional thinking...

I have a question about this. If you are suppoesed to drink half of you body weight in oz. each day of water, is the in addition to the smoothies that you drink or do they count towards that? I drink about 75 oz of smoothies each day and I don't think I could drink that much water in addition.Dave
