Water ...

[Dobbie]

Hey Guys,

Just been reading your posts in Gemma's diary about water not making a difference on WW vs. VLCD. Since changing from CD I've been drinking the same amount every day, 10-12 pints. I had a STS this week for WI and just wondered if it might be connected? I have eaten ALL my points and been exercising so I thought perhaps I might see a small loss - but nothing!

Will too much water prevent me losing on WW? Should I cut down to say 6-8 pints per day?

I was told that you dont need to drink the water as it could retain in your body and make you weight heavier x

I limit my intake to no more than 2.5 litres a day otherwise I retain it.

thats what i was made aware of x

I dont drink water atall! ....... i know thats bad but my fluid intake daily is 2 cups of tea and a glass of diet coke in the evenings .. thats usually all! .... unless its really hot and then ill have a glass of flavoured water but nowhere near enough ....

Im not sure about the weight loss thing ... but i do know i should be drinking more ! hehe

Thanks for all your replies.

I think I am going to cut back to 6 pints a day (a little more for gym days) and see what happens! I do feel quite blobby and put it down to food. Hadn't considered that i could be retaining water.

I would only have 1 litre a day thats all i have ,but on gym days i have more xx

I drink about 2.5 litres a day but thats largely because Ive stopped drinking diet coke etc. Ive never found its made any differnce what so ever to my wi, I think unless youre doing a VLCD then theres no benefit

 

[Starlight]

Well you ARE a total nut job but thats a whole other conversation I think

I cant drink plain water at all... it must be the most boring drink in the world but I can drink sugar free pink grapefruit squash til its coming out my ears and other oficies :giggle:

 

[Gemma1986]

no water for me thanks after doing cd never want to drink 8 litres a day again!

 

[Dobbie]

LOL!! Thanks guys.

I cut back to 6 pints yesterday and think perhaps I'll get some sugar free squash next shopping trip as I really don't 'enjoy' the water!
