Sharron - Musical Theatre Geek! Female, age 49 - Second time arounder - started Atkins 2/2001 @440 lbs LOST 150 GAINED 110 Restarted 6/1/05 for the FINAL TIME @ 431 lbs Lost 80 Atkins Came back 10/1 after losing 109 additional on Weight Watchers Weight on 9/30/07 239.8! Lowest EVER! If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?
This gallon of water thing! 1 gallon = 4 quarts or 128 ozs, or 3800 mls, and it adds up to 8.34 lbs of water! Thats alot of water! I thought I was drinking an adequate amount of water. I am always drinking. But even on a hot day, I rarely drink more than 3 large perrier sized bottles of water a day. Thats 2250 mls a day. How can I possibly stuff in 8 plus pounds of water a day? Seems excessive!
Star it does seem like a lot but I do it by breaking it up.
Quart # 1 down before 9AM, #2 gone by noon #3 down the hatch by 2P and I do my best to get the last one gone by 4 or 5P (3 if If I can get away with it) then I am not in the bathroom all night long.
I am behind and only on #3 right now and it 5:18. Im gonna be up tonight!
Im not weighing this time just yet, but it did make a difference last time when I was weighing. It may have to do with appetite suppression as well as flushing that fat right outta your system.
I am a kitchen manager at a local elementary school and drinking the water helps me to keep from picking all day long while I am cooking. If I keep my belly full I wont eat. Thank the heavens a bathroom is VERY close!
It also depends on how much you have to lose too. Half your weight in ounces is what you "should" be going for. I am not sure what you need to lose so you may not require a gallon a day.
Not every one does drink this amount. My cousin (also on Atkins) drinks about 24 oz each day and a diet coke or 2 and still loses so everyone is different.
