Scott in Florida - 37 weeks

Down by .6 pounds this week.  Chinese buffet on Sunday was no help in that regard

I am reading a very interesting book right now:

It's called "Your Body's Many Cries For Water".  Written by a doctor, and he says what we all know to be true - we don't drink enough water.  However, he presents strong evidence that water can actually cure a lot of our ailments.  He gives a lot of examples of patients that he has treated just by having them drink sufficient water, and the results are pretty amazing.  His motto is: "You're not sick, you're just thirsty".

So for a week I am having no coffee (I am not a big coffee drinker anyway) and no Diet Coke (2-4 cans a day normally).  And I am drinking 2 quarts of water every day.  I know it's good for me and the right thing to do, and I want to see if there are any noticeable signs after a week.

Obviously we all know that drinking more water is a good thing.  How much do you guys drink each day?

I think I will be doing more than 2 quarts.  Had 1 quart down by 8:30 am.

Umpa, what is an "herbal infusion"?  I'm picturing a syringe filled with Basil and Chives.

2 ounces of herbs to 2 quarts of water.Put the dried herbs in 2 qt mason jar pour boiling water over them and cap and let sit 8 hours.(do this in sink) I love nettle,comfrey,oatstraw,red clover,burdock,nettle root just to name a few.Very cheap and a great way to get your vitamins.Go to susunweed.com for videos and info.I started drinking these for menopause ,and i now have no syptoms.The nettle infusion is a good one to start with.It tastes like spinach and it will give you lots of energy ! If I miss a day I can feel it.A pound of nettle is about $8

Hi Scott!

I have been harping about the importance of drinking LOTS of water for a long time here.
My doctor convinced me that it is very important for preserving and promoting good health.
I drink between 3-4 quarts of plain water EVERY DAY!

Most of the benefits from drinking plenty of water appear over the long term.
Like helping the skin stay younger looking much longer, aid in weight loss, and generally flushing out the bad things our bodies produce that can make us ill.

If you cut out the coffee and pop and replace them with water, don't be surprised if your weight loss speeds up!
