Re: how important is water?
Water is highly important to the way that the Atkins diet works. Obviously its a health thing also, but it does go hand in hand with Atkins.
Strictly speaking you need to drink. 64oz a day, which is 2 litres. + an additional 8oz for every 25lbs of weight you want to lose.

It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!
I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

Re: how important is water?
It's not just a health thing. If you don't drink enough water there are a couple physical things that are going to happen...I know, they've happened to me when I don't get enough pure WATER.
1) You will get the most horrible cramps in your feet and legs
2) You will get constipated
3) You will chapped lips and dry mouth
4) You will NOT get the weight loss results that you want~Joy

Re: how important is water?
read the FAQ on how water helps you lose weight and you will be chugging your water. Our own Bren busted her first stall by adding more water to hewr Atkinsby the book atkinseer

Re: how important is water?
I agree. Water is important in more ways than just making Atkins work. It is essential in keeping our bodies working properly. Bren's FAQ on water definitely defines what water does for the body and how it helps us stay younger looking with healthy skin and less wrinkles. The more you drink, the better you feel and the better you look.Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F

Re: how important is water?
I hated water, I used to get nauseous with just one glass of it
ide cided i didnt really need to drink so much of it... and lost a good month of atkins where i didnt lose much. as soon as i worked it in, i started dropping pounds...
so at least for me, it feels like the more I wee, the more i lose!
