Water..Water..Water...

[Iamscandalouslyglam]

::Siiiggghhhh:: I was so proud. I have been doing Atkins for 12 days and Yesterday was the first day I really tried to drink water. I drank a :whole: Litre! I thought this was great until I figured out how any ounces are in a litre: 33.8 Which means to get my MINIMUM 100oz I have to Drink 3 Litres. Plus isn't it an extra ounce for every POUND, too?? So that's 4 Litres.

My goal is 3/day. for the next 3 days and then I'll try 4/day.

Cross fingers that this helps

I was a no water drinker before I started here, now it seems a cinch to get in my water. I drink between 80-100 oz. a day and have have 2 cups of decaf tea a day besides. Congrats on getting your first liter in, it will start to come natural.

Contrary to popular belief, all waters do not taste the same.
Here in Ireland, the market leader is Ballygowan. I can't touch the stuff, I HATE IT!
It's just so bland and bleurgh!
I buy Volvic water by the case and I can taste the difference.
If I was stuck with a water I didn't like, I'd find it more of a struggle to drink lots of it.
But with Volvic, i can drink 3 litres + a day easily and it's a pleasure doing so.
Instead of drinking from a small bottle, have a full large bottle beside you as much as possible and drink from that, then you can see how much or how little you've drunk that day.

My favorite water here in the US is Fiji http://fijiwater.com/ Unfortunatley it costs over 2 bucks a liter and I drink 5-6 liters a day! I'd go broke if I only drank Fiji!

I drink Arrowhead at the office, since it's free (to me anyway). At home, I have a Brita pitcher that filters out most of the nasty stuff from LA's water. I do, however, drink far more water at work than at home. I need to work on that - especially on the weekends!

Re: Water..Water..Water...

I've been trying to get in the max amount of water I can stand. So far, I am almost squeeking in 64 ounces a day. I was a definate non water drinker before Atkins--so going from none to almost 64 ounces in 3 days still makes my eyes pop. ^.^

I have a filter on my tap to take out the metal and chlorine taste. It's cheaper for me in the long run instead of always buying bottled stuff and to me, it tastes the same.

You will get accustom to getting your daily water in-Just push yourself and everytime you think you may want to eat something, drink some water and before you know it in a day's time you could have your 100 0z in.

Re: Water..Water..Water...

For me the water issue isnt really a big deal because I actually like drinking water. But I am picky about my water (although not as picky as some... ). I merely can NOT drink tap water, I have to buy bottled water and it definately has to be very cold. I try not to go too broke so I buy the store brand gallon sized jugs for...what is it...like 65cents a piece??

I seem to easily drink a gallon in a day. I think that's a pretty decent start to my water intake and hopefully it will aid in the results I'm seeking.

Thumbs up to those of you who havent normally been water drinkers....add a little more each day or each week if you can!!
