Water

[Guest guest]

Dawn,

I have been told by several sources that we should drink 1 ounce for

every 2 pounds we weigh; so 230 pound person would drink 115 ounces of

water. It is a lot and for the first few weeks you go to the bathroom every

30 minutes or so, but then your bladder adjusts. I drink really close to

that most days and more on others and I don't go to the bathroom more than

every 3-4 hours.

> I know the recommended minimum amout to drink is 8 glasses a day but how

do we know how to measure how much we are suppose to be drinking with how

much we weigh?

There's alink in the Links section to a government site which explains *why*

we're supposed to drink a half ounce of water per every pound of body

weight. For me, at 264, I should be drinking 132 ounces of plain old water a

day, minimum, on top of any coffee, soup, or othr liquids, and I should

drink even *more* on days when I'm sweating a lot from the heat or exercise

or have been eating salty foods.

Yeah, that's a lot of sloshing around, which is why I don't get it all in on

days when I know I'm going to be away from home and nowhere near a clean,

safe restroom.

I'll be 49 next week and I'm peri-menopausal - my bladder is beyond the

ability to " adjust " ! LOL

This is where those fancy-schmancy sports bottles come in handy, especially

for you, with little kids around all day. You fill that baby up and

constantly drink from it all day long, refilling it as needed.

used to sell one that had a filter on it, but I don't know if it's

still on his web site. I saw the exact same thing put out by Brita in my

local grocery store at probably a lower price. I use filtered water, anyway,

so don't need a bottle that filters it as I drink it. I just keep refilling

my 24 ounce glass all day long.

That is still a lot of water. It means I would be drinking about 24 glasses

of water a day (3 times the recommended intake) or about 6 liters of water

(over 200 oz). I have heard this before and I'm sure its helpful for

flushing out your system, if you have any heart probs or blood pressure

probs, I would check with your Dr.

I'm currently on medication that limits my fluid intake to about 1.5 liters

a day (57 oz)

Remember, that " recommended " 8 glasses of water a day is for correct weight,

healthy individuals who are sitting there and not sweating. Extra weight,

extra sweating from heat or activites, extra salty food intake, all require

an increase in the water intake.

Of course, medical problems that require fluid restrictions, will mean you

drink less, but remember also, we're all supposed to see our doctors before

starting any weight loss or exercise plan, so this would be discussed with

our doctors at that time.

who knows the horrors of fluid restriction and water pills all too well

Lucy - a really good idea! I use the dry erase boards to track my days of

LMAO! I was thinking the same thing yesterday! I was like I am SOOOOO glad I

am not working anymore people would begin to wonder why I am peeing all the

few weeks, but I'm experiencing the after effects of PMS and getting rid of the

excess water EVERy 15 minutes it was CrAzY! I'm gonna buy stock in Charmin!

I am drinking the suggested amount of water for BFL. Does the peeing ever

stop? I am a SAHM, how can anyone hold down a job and drink all this water.

LOL....

[Guest guest]

It's pretty funny at my office actually. There is another guy here

doing BFL and he's up and down more than I am! Every half hour one

of us gets up, we've even timed ourselves to see how long we can last

without a pee break, just over an hour is the record! I think I can

last a little longer because I've been doing it longer and my bladder

has gotten used to the abuse.

Dear Nigel

Do you not think that any health hazards might be destroyed by

temperature/humidity after they have been

sprayed on the road.??

Are we talking about a sand road or a tar covered structure. ?? How long do

bio-hazards survive in these austere conditions ??

What sort of things will come from drill site operations?? man made Mud,

Petroleum products, etc, perhaps. OK human effluent of course but in reality

is that a problem when considered in the real factor of reality !!

I was on job in deepest Algeria where they just used a traffic pressed road

from camp to drill site (18 Km) and at the drill site just let the mud

fields overflow into the desert.

What ?? hazards will come from a drilling rig in the middle of no where

unless someone what's it to !!

Sorry for the disjointed answer but that's life

S

Water

Has anybody encountered any health hazards associated with using

wastewater sprayed over the road to keep the dust down? The water,

generated from drilling operations, will come from evaporation ponds.

Hi Nigel, we are using a deep water well 212 m deep,for the Gypson,,using the

evaporation pond for gypson rds is a no no as the pond will contain the

chemicals from the mud tanks. Where are you getting your domestic supply from?

[Guest guest]

Hi Geordie,

Many thanks for taking the time to write back.

Can you tell me why using your pond water is a no no? Do you have any

documented research to validate the chemical content and what it would do to

people or the environment?

Our domestic supply comes from deep (300m) wells and they are trying to

conserve it.

Yep! I honestly think that was part of my problem yesterday! We had

run out of bottled water a few days ago (who ever thought we'd be

paying for water?) and our well water has a funny smell and taste so

I try to avoid it. Anyhow... I have been retaining water and thought

maybe that was my problem. Well, I ran to the store yesterday

(hungry and all) and picked up JUST what I needed and that included

Yep.. water. I had my full days supply before the day was over and

guess what... it not only helped with the hunger, but water

retention. The scales were *FINALLY* down a little this weeek. I

wasn't too concerned that they hadn't moved because I knew I was

retaining water, but it is nice to see them move!

Water & 20 Tips For Getting Your 8 Glasses Daily

How 8 Glasses a Day Keeps Fat Away Incredible as it may seem, water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Although most of us take it for granted, water may be the only true "magic potion" for permanent weight loss! Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits. Here's why: The kidneys can't function properly without enough water. When the kidneys don't work to capacity, some of their load is dumped onto the liver. One of the liver's primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. If the liver has to do some of the kidney's work, it can't operate at full throttle. As a result, it metabolizes less fat, more fat remains stored in the body, and weight loss stops. Drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid retention. When the body gets less water, it perceives this as a threat to survival and begins to hold on to every drop. Water is stored in extra cellular spaces (outside the cells). This shows up as swollen feet, legs and hands. Diuretics offer a temporary solution at best. They force out stored water along with some essential nutrients. Again, the body perceives a threat and will replace the lost water at the first opportunity. Thus, the condition quickly returns. The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give the body what it needs…PLENTY OF WATER. Only then will the stored water be released. If you have a constant problem with water retention, excess salt may be to blame. Your body will tolerate sodium only in a certain concentration. The more salt you eat, the more water your system retains to dilute it. But getting rid of un-needed salt is easy - just drink more water. As it's forced through the kidneys, it takes away excess sodium. The overweight person needs more water than the thin one! Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that water is the key to fat metabolism, it follows that the overweight person needs more water. Water helps maintain proper muscle tone by giving muscles their natural ability to contract and by preventing dehydration. It also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weight loss - shrinking cells are buoyed by water, which plumps the skin and leaves it clear, healthy, and resilient. Water helps rid the body of waste. During weight loss, the body has a lot more waste to get rid of - all the metabolized fat must be shed. Again, adequate water helps flush out the waste. Water can help relieve constipation. When the body gets too little water, it siphons what it needs from internal sources. The colon is one primary source. Result? Constipation. But, when a person gets enough water, normal bowel functions returns. So far, we've discovered some remarkable truths about water and weight loss: The body will not function properly without enough water and can't metabolize stored fat efficiently.

Retained water shows up as excess weight.

To get rid of excess water you must drink more water.

Drinking water is essential to weight loss. How much water is enough??

On the average, a person should drink eight 8-ounce glasses every day. That's about 2 quarts. However, the overweight person needs one additional glass for every 25 pounds of excess weight. The amount you drink also should be increased if you exercise briskly or if the weather is hot and dry. Water should preferably be cold - it's absorbed into the system more quickly than warm water. And some evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually help burn calories. When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally, its fluids are perfectly balanced. Once this happens you have reached the "breakthrough point". What does this mean? Endocrine-gland function improves.

Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water is lost.

More fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat.

Natural thirst returns.

There is loss of hunger almost overnight.

If you stop drinking enough water, your body fluids will be thrown out of balance again, and you may experience fluid retention, unexplained weight gain and loss of thirst. To remedy the situation you'll have to go back and force another "breakthrough". By S. on, M.D., M. Sc

Everyone always talks about drinking water. This one is tough for me. My water windows on foodmover are always wide open. I am a dedicated diet dr. pepper drinker and find the thought of drinking vast amounts of water to be a daunting task. What exactly does water do for you? I guess if I actually saw something in writing as to the benefits of water with weight loss I might give it more of an effort. Does anyone know of any medical reports about the benefits of water drinking? Anything on the internet?

20 Tips For Getting Your 8 Glasses of Water Daily

Sometimes drinking our eight glasses of water a day can be a real challenge Here are 20 tips to help you accomplish that feat! It is said by many beauty experts that drinking your water is the cheapest, quickest way to look better! That should motivate us! 1. Make a bet with a co-worker to see who can drink more water in the course of a day. 2. Have a big glass of water at every transitional point of the day: when you first get up, just before leaving the house, when you sit down to work, etc. 3. Make it convenient - keep a big, plastic, insulated water bottle full on your desk and reach for it all day. 4. When you have juice (apple, grape, or orange) fill half the glass with water. 5. When you have a junk-food craving, down a glass of water immediately. You feel full quickly and avoid the calories, and it lets time pass till the craving fades. 6. Have one glass every hour on the hour while at work. When the work day is done your water quota is met. 7. Substitute a cup of hot water with a drop of honey for tea or coffee. 8. While at work, get a 20 ounce cup of ice and keep filling it up from the office water cooler. The key is drinking with a straw - you take bigger gulps and drink much more. 9. Freeze little bits of peeled lemons, limes, and oranges and use them in place of ice cubes - it's refreshing and helps get in a serving or two of fruit. 10. After each trip to the restroom, guzzle an eight-ounce glass to replenish your system. 11. Don't allow yourself a diet soda until you've had two to four glasses of water. You will find that you won't want the soda anymore or that just half a can is enough. 12. Let ounces of water double grams of fat: When eating something containing 10 grams of fat, I drink 20 ounces of water. 13. Drink two full glasses at each meal, one before and one after. Also, drink one glass before each snack so you don't eat as much. 14. Carry a small refillable water bottle at all times and drink during downtime; while waiting in a bank line, sitting on the train, etc. 15. Use a beautiful gold-rimmed glass and fill it with cold water from the tap. 16. Drink two glasses of water immediately after waking up. 17. Bring a two-liter bottle of water to work and try to drink it all before you leave work. If you don't finish, drink it in traffic on the way home - it's like a race. 18. Always keep a 24-ounce bottle of water handy while watching TV, doing laundry, making dinner, etc. 19. Add drinking two glasses of water to your daily skincare regimen. Drink, cleanse, moisturize, etc., then drink again. 20. Drink your water out of a big Pyrex measuring cup - it's a good way to keep track of how much water you are drinking.

Thanks for that & I whole heartedly agree - and that's coming from someone who has had a 10+ pop a day past I've lost 65 pounds since May and I can tell you the only thing I am consistent in is my water. I get teased a lot because I have gone from using the washroom 3-4 times a day to about every hour lol

Hello,

My water dealer told me that sometimes people don't drink water just because

the water they drink (usually tap water) tastes TERRIBLE. Pure water tastes

sweet; if you drink tap water, you might want to consider getting a good

water purifier or buying from a water purification store for a few cents a

gallon.

By the way, in Dr. Batmanghelidg's latest book on water, he includes the

story of a man dying of prostate cancer who was cured of it merely by proper

hydration. See www.watercure2.com

Hope that helps,

Depends on who you ask. I say it counts. Some people say it doesn't. You

have to decide for yourself. I think it's silly to say that something

that's 99.99% water doesn't count. Is water better? Yes. Am I going to

Some good information there EXCEPT they say COFFEE and SODA

can be counted as fluid intake. (!!)

Coffee is a diuretic and additionally leaches valuable

nutrients from the body creating a net loss for the body.

I have a question for you since you would be best suited to answer

this. I have a friend who has cellulitis and has to wrap her legs with

gauge to contain the moisture coming out of her skin. I plan on

getting her on the Kombucha Tea but my question is, can she use the

culture either in cream form or the whole thing to put on her legs to

heal them also?

By the way, her doctor has her on diuretics!!

Thank you,
