I can drink about 2.5l a day, but 4l seems almost impossible!! I guess it we shall just keep on going lol! :) LotsofLove Rachiie -ox-

I think some exercise whilst on the diet is alright, to help with lose skin and your energy levels, but nothing to over the top, just do what you can, dont over do it, because you can end up causing yourself more harm. Take Care. LotsofLove Rachiie -ox-
