Sounds like youre drinking a heck of a lot there

Never heard of water drinking burning cals and like I said earlier SW dont recommend drinking excesses of water, like WW they say FLUID - 2l of fluid a day so 2l of water on top of loads of diet coke etc sounds waaay too much

I never knew water could burn off calories so I just looked into it. Apparently if you drink ICE COLD water, your body has to work to bring it up to body temperature. For every half litre you drink, it burns of 17.5 calories. So if you drink 2 litres a day, that would be 70 calories burned off.

But it has to be ice cold for that to work that much. I would imagine if it was tap temperature it would probably be half that amount.

Thats right mummoth as i said, it can burn upto 300 calories a day, depending on how much you drink. I personally drink an awful lot, always have always will, i dont see what i drink as alot because ive always been like that, (mum has always called me a fish because of the amount i drink!) If I dont have a drink with me all the time I have to buy one, its just something i have/need. with regards to the water I was told that by my doc, 5 years ago, and yes I do drink Ice cold water brrr hurts the teeth sometimes lol. Your body has to work harder, hence burning off more calories.

I always drink 2 litres of sparkling water every day as well as my usual drinks, I have worn a path in my carpet going to the loo, LOL....

I drink 1.5litres of water a day at work, and usually 1 or 2 hot drinks at work. plus at home maybe half a litre of water plus 1 or 2 hot drinks.
i have been doing the 1.5 litres of water challenge for two weeks and my skin is looking much clearer and i feel better for it. but the kids do look at me keep going to the toilet, oops

Lol thats the only down side, the trips to the toilets! Lol x

I find that when I drink plenty of water in the day, I sleep much better that night. Maybe that's just me though!

Also, be careful with sparkling water, as carbon is really bad for your teeth.

I've been drinking loads - almost too much from the sounds of these posts!!
But....my skin has become incredibly clear and I feel soooo much more energetic. I know about it if I don't drink so much (tired etc).
I guess that we are all different - lots is good for me!
(about 2.5 litres - inc hot drinks)
