Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 If I remember correctly, there was some debate over how much water is too much. Well, I inadvertently played the guinny pig for the last four weeks. In my quest for weight loss, I was doing my best to drink 12 cups of water per day, as was reccommended by all my health care providers. I thought the little foam cups at work were 8 oz. cups. Silly me, I just realized they are 12 oz. cups. Almost every work day for the past 4 weeks, I've been drinking 144 oz. of water per day (instead of the 96 oz. I thought I was drinking). I'm fine. No harmful side effects, aside from very frequent trips to the little girls room. It seems to be helping in the weight loss quest, so I think I'll continue until the contest is over. Here are some of the good things from it: My eczema has improved greatly. My hair is shinier. My usual dry mouth, eyes, sinuses, etc, are not quite so dry. Fewer nose-bleeds (which I get quite often). I'm not nearly as hungry - just today on the radio they were saying how many americans have conditioned themselves so they think thirst is actually hunger; this causes overeating and chronic dehydration. So far, no noticible effect on the fibro; hopefully the eventual weightloss will help there. Cheers all, Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
