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

Blonde Logic · 24th June, 2008

Our LLC told us last night that Lighter Life and it's panel of "prestigious" doctors and nutritionists including NICE and the other one (name fails me) have reviewed the LL plan and have changed their stance on water.

The now say we should drink THREE litres of water, and that not ony does the water in our coffee and tea count towards that, but so does the water used to mix our packs!

So good news for those who struggle with water. If 4 Litres were too much, it should get easier.

I will probably keep drinking 4, because I am used to it now. But it takes the pressure of some who struggle with that aspect.

You should all be getting the announcement this week from your LLC's so be sure to question them if they don't say anything.

Ta!

I'm glad you've told us BL - we have a locum for the next two weeks, so wonder if she would be telling us, or waiting for our LLC to return to tell us.

Dancing · 24th June, 2008

a bit bizarre to make a change like that though (IMO). Oh well, I'll continue to drink as much as I have always done.

Miss_Bettany · 24th June, 2008

Our LL counsellor told us before I went away, it is because a bloke at a group nearly died downing ten litres in an hour :|

Plonker!

Blonde Logic · 24th June, 2008

What a muppet!! Glad he is OK, but geez-louise....what was he thinking? Was this someone in your group Miss B??

Dancing · 24th June, 2008

well, the changes won't stop people doing silly things like that. OMG. I don't even think I could physically drink that much if I wanted to. He is extremely lucky he didn't die!!!

Miss_Bettany · 24th June, 2008

No, not in our group..but yes what an idiot!

DaveP · 24th June, 2008

IS it physically possible to do 10 litres in an hour?!?!?

Miss_Bettany · 24th June, 2008

I'd say so...i can drink a litre in a few minutes...easily

Alibongo · 24th June, 2008

My LLC said ages ago we could include the water from our tea and coffee.
I have to say I almost never managed 4L per day and still had great losses, must be because I was actually doing ok after all, wish I hadn't beaten myself up about it so much though.

Kellie=] · 24th June, 2008

yeah i agree. its a little annoying as thats the part that i found so bloody difficult! seems pointless stressing about it now!!

So it's about the same as Cambridge now. I could never understand why there was a difference. Reckon a lot of LL people are going to be happy with the reduction

Mini_Me · 27th June, 2008

I was regulary drinking 4 litres, PLUS tea and coffee... so maybe 5.5 o 6 litres in total per day. I cut down to drinking 2.5 litres of water, plus tea and coffee, and I have been losing more weight for the last 3 weeks on that amount... it must just be what my body is comfortable with...

supersize · 27th June, 2008

Well that's interesting you say that Mini Me because after my councillor told us I was quite happy to drop to 2.5l water plus tea and coffee and fluid in foodpacks and that felt fine but i read other posts on other threads that seem to say the more you drink the more you shrink, as it were! I'm in ketone confusion mode. I don't know what's for the best. But we're not all the same size so it's pretty impossible we'd all need the same amount of fluid isn't it?

There's been a good discussion/debate on the Cambridge forum about water intake.

http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-di...you-loose.html (The more you drink the more you loose?????)

Our rules are 2.25L plus the water in shakes (so approx 3L in all). Some drink more but the 2.25L is the minimum.

I'm sure you're right about some people needing more, so I really believe that as long as you drink the minimum amount, you can then just go on whether you are thirsty, or feel that you need a drink.

Your body will tell you
