    Floating Away

    So this water thing is really doing me in. I have drank 60oz with 40oz more to go and its really tough. I have been trying to take a shot of water everytime I go downstairs from those 8oz dixie cups and I think I am going to float away. My belly feels sooooo full. Maybe I should work my way up to drinking the necessary 120oz. I NEVER drank water before. In fact I didn't drink enough fluids period!!! What do you think can I start at 70 and work up from there?

    Re: Floating Away

    70 might be too low, depending on your gender and weight. But it's better than nothing. One suggestion I would make is to stop the shots and carry around a big water bottle, only taking sips every few minutes. 2 or 3 of those go by pretty quickly. Also, make sure you start early. Having a cup or two of water in the morning makes it easier so you don't need to chug a lot later on.

    Try drinking through a straw, too. Makes it seem like it's not as much.

      I have tried the bottled thing and I feel overwhelmed with a bottle of water staring at me in the face. Thats why I have been trying the shot thing. I am a female and I weigh 300 (as of monday) so I need to drink 120oz (300/2 * .8=120) But I just need to work up to it.

        I have got used to having a sports-top bottle with me at all times and sipping from it regularly. When I am at the computer I take a sip each time the screen refreshes and find myself refilling the bottle fairly quickly without really noticing I have drunk lots of water!
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

          Yep, lots of little sips is definitely easier for me than trying to chug a shot or more. I understand about a big water bottle. I have a couple of littler ones (12 oz) so it feels like I am accomplishing something as I count them down during the day.

          Starting at 70 is fine for now. Once you adjust it WILL get easier and easier to get the water in.

           It's not about the results. Its about the process.
