  • How much water do you drink a day?

    I'm up to 80 oz. already for today. I swear i cant get enough water in during the day. I completely gave up drinking coffee and everything else. Water is pretty much it for me. I would say i drink about 200 - 250 oz a day. Is that crazy????

      I add a drop of oregano oil to every 8 ounces I drink.

      It's flavorful and Atkins recommends oregano oil. It's ding danged delicious if I do say so.

            I dont' think 200+ ounces is crazy. Im lucky enough to work in a place where Im provided with unlimited bottled water (we're also lucky enough to get unlimited Krispy Kremes too :yikes ) I often work 12-14 hour days and find at the end of the day my recycle bin has 10-12 water bottles. Each bottle is 16.9 ounces. I think I average 150-200 a day easily. It's pretty much all I drink, maybe a few cups of tea a week.

            We have also have a soda foutain here, and oooohhhh is it hard to avoid it when its free and unlimited.

              How much time are you in that Bathroom? I do drink about 100oz each day, but I have a weak bladder, so I am in the potty alot and that gets to be the most annoying...

                  I will say i'm in the bathroom alot. For instance i went to the bathroom before my way home for lunch. As soon as I got home which is about 10 min. from her i went again. Then before I left the house went again and right now i need to go again. ....LOL! So yeah...that's the only draw back to drinking so much.

                  But i have found that if I dont drink that much a day i feel bad....bloated etc.

                    I'm probably drinking about 120-150 oz most days, some days as much as 200. I just seem to be thristy a lot, or maybe I'm mixing up that feeling with just wanting to taste the water, which tastes so good and sweet to me now that I've given up pop and coffee.

                    I was worried that I was starting to drink too much, glad to see others are drinking about the same!

                    Cleochatra--where do you get oregano oil? I never heard of it, but it sounds good! Apparently I need to reread my book if I missed that detail!

                      I average between 4 and 6 liters so that's 135 to about 200 ounces a day. I also keep a liter bottle next to my bed and usually have to refill it once before morning. I love water and yes, I do spend alot of time running to and from the bathroom!

                        You can buy oregano oil at Wal-mart.

                        The book is filled with many, many, many little things which can be missed. I don't think anyone who doesn't have oregano oil is going to keel over...it has fungicide qualities which enhance our digestion and keeps candida away.
