Re: News About Water & Artificial Sweeteners You Might Not Know!

1 oz of water for every 2 pounds is half your weight in water.

That's exactly what they mean, not that you drink it in pounds. But,

that if you weigh 200, you drink 100 oz. There is no way on earth

that I could drink half my weight in water. I'd gag on all that

water.

That doesn't make sense to me. If I weight 120 lbs, that would mean I need to drink 60 lbs of water a day, or 960 ounces or 120 cups of water a day!! Impossible!

Hi everyone. I went to Curves today for the first time and it was so much fun. The lady there explained some interesting things today and one of them was water. Did everyone know that you are supposed to drink half of your body weight in water per day? Reminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat. The South Beach Diet teaches you to rely on the right carbs and the right fats-the good ones - and enables you to live quite happily without the bad carbs and bad fats.

read the above posts... half of weight (lbs) in water (oz). if you

weigh 120 pounds, drink 60 ounces of water.

No, you are misunderstanding. If you weigh 120 lbs, you drink 60

ounces. That is half your weight. You don't drink your water in

pounds, but in ounces.

Thanks for clarifying this. I guess 64 oz water for me is fine.

Yea, but they don't say so much to do 8 glasses anymore. Now, half

the body weight is what most doctors and nutrionists recommend. All

the doctors I've talked to have told me that. But--I don't do it. I

just can't.

That is another reason I hated Atkins--you pretty much have no

choice but to drink that much doing Atkins because of how

dehydrating the diet is. At my weight, there is no way I can drink

half my weight in water. I spend all day and night peeing as it is,

LOL!

So what am I supposed to do? Just not give any information that I hear

or anything. It seems like every time I do I get yelled at. It's just

not worth it.

This is according to WebMD:

Artificial sweeteners do not affect blood sugar levels, but some foods containing artificial sweeteners can still affect blood sugar because of other carbohydrates or proteins in these foods. In other words, while foods that contain artificial sweeteners may be sugar-free, they may not be carbohydrate-free

***i think what they mean when the Trainer said it was stored AS fat was that it makes u crave more food and more sweet stuff so you may overeat. You still need to watch claories and carbs. wrote:

you are entitled to your own opinion just as everyone else

is :0) . If we didn't share our knowledge how would any of us learn?

Its good to challenge to the norm, it gets everyone's brain working.

Everyone will interpret things different as well. You do what feels

right for you. Maybe the next time you come across something that

raises your eye brow you can ask for peoples input on the info you

have heard/seen? For me I'm more worried abt what harm my Splenda is

doing to my body long term than a fat cell,lol I wish I could give

it up. Its always in the back of mind. I have been using Splenda for

a yr now.

Keep your chin up!
