I know it's gutting but the water is so crucial on this diet. We need it to flush out the empty fat cells and to stop up retaining by filling them up. I know deep down that my slow loss in week 2 and gain in week 3 is probably solely down to not enough water. Or relying too much on coffee for my fluid intake.
I HAVE to drink at least 2 litres daily to get anywhere, 3 litres is better. If I go one day drinking less than 2 litres the next 2 days I am like a sponge and no matter how much I drink, my body just won't let it go again.
I find it hard too, as usually I would have a couple of coffees through the day and maybe a small glass of juice in the evening. But other than that I never seem to get thirsty? I have to really force myself to drink!
Plus I hate the constant nipping to the loo, I'm sure the guys in your office think I have a problem!
Are you back on TS today then? Honestly, try to force yourself to drink more water, even if you can manage it for a few days and then check the scales, I'm sure you will see good things. Think back to how much you drank in Week 1, I bet it was a lot more than Week 5?
