NEWS: Announcement made at group about WATER CONSUMPTION - Page 2 - MiniMins.com

Miss_Bettany · 27th June, 2008

And my LL counsellor last night said there has been no such announcement about including the water used to make the shakes...

supersize · 29th June, 2008

Weird. There's a lot of inconsitency there then. Mine did, yours didn't. I'll maybe have a look at their website. Bound to be an announcement. Will get back if I have anything to report!

Plonker!

omg

in a hr how on earth would that even be possible!!!??

Mine didn't say anything about how much to drink or about the foodpack water counting towards anything - she just said that they had 'relaxed' the 4 litre limit and to drink as much or as little as comfortable.....

I think I'll still aim for the 4 litres on top of the foodpack water - I dont lose very fast anyway so I'd be a bit worried that my small losses might slow down completely if I reduce my water.....

My LLC didn't say anything at all to me but I think she knows I 've always drunk alot anyway... I'll just keep up to date on here anyway

I thought I'd look on the website. I'm a great believer in drinking the amount of water you feel comfortable with ie at least 2.25L, but anything on top of that if you fancy a drink or if you are thirsty, so the ideal amount will vary from person to person.

LL seem to back this up (well, on their website they do). I quote:

There’s no magic number where fluid intake is concerned. Fluid requirements will vary between different people, due to their height, body-fat composition, age, activity levels and so on. If it’s hot or you are exercising, for example, you may need to take in more fluid to replace fluid lost via sweating - but keep it to a sensible amount and never drink to excess.

Feeling dizzy, having a dry mouth or a headache can all be indicators of dehydration, so learn to read the signals. Thirst is a powerful indicator, so be guided by your thirst and what feels comfortable for you.

Hi Blondie Logic I mentioned this to my LL councellor last week and she denied that this was the case with LL? I told her where I had seen the posts and could not see anything on the LL offical website so I am wondering if this is official. Thanks

Blonde Logic · 6th July, 2008

Hi Beetle - well ours had some posters to put up about it - they looked official.

I see this far too often with LL, there is a fair amount of inconsistancy about releases of information!

But yeah, she had some printed material that she read from - had all the doctors who were making the reccomendations photos and comments, etc., on it and then there was also a big blue poster - I didn;tlook at that though......?

You can always call head office if you are concerned?

I'll go with the announcement after seing the papers, etc.

Blonde Logic · 6th July, 2008

Thanks for that KD.

Our LLC told us that it had been changed to 2.5litres and that includes what you use for tea and packs!

This is exactly what I was told too - it is a directive from Head Office.

gazz · 9th July, 2008

mine gave us all a copy of the email to read and it actually says "drink to thirst" there is no upper or lower limit, but when you feel thirtsy, including packs and tea, coffee etc. each person should average 2-3 litres a day...

sarah-louise x · 11th July, 2008

sorry guys, i dont mean to add to the confusion of this announcement but my LLC said that they r no longer aloud to tell us how much we should drink and that we should go with our bodies, sip little and often throughout the day. water used in tea, coffee, shakes and soups would count towards our daily consumption. there seems to be alot of conflicting information on this at the moment so im just drinking steadily throughout the day, at a guess id say it prob amounts to about 3litres in a day so i dont think i can go far wrong there, after all, your body will soon tell u if your dehydrated and need watering x
