Water water water....

Hi,

Day 1 for me so bear with me!

I want to stick to the plan 100%, but I am getting mixed information as to how much water I should drink. I am SS and 7 stone overweight. Now my Mum who has just moved into maintenance (well done Mum!) drinks about 5 litres a day but I am not sure if this is right or maybe too much!?

So how much? does water in green/peppermint tea or coffee count?

Thanks for your help

I would recommend 4 litres a day, every day, day in and day out, measure it out to make sure it is always 4 litres and you will give yourself the best chance of losing the weight as quickly as possible.

Thanks for the replies.

Would you say I am better sticking with plain water? I don't mind it, seem to able to drink more if it is not straight from the fridge!

Plain water, fizzy water, mineral water, spring water... doesn't make any difference really.

I always say don't drink it from the fridge as much harder to drink when it is cold. Also try and drink it from a hi-ball tumbler glass as I find that makes it easier as well.

You can use the Cambridge flavouring but new guidance is only 1 teaspoon a day.
