Thread: Always drinking water

You are fine as long as the rest of your diet is sound and you are taking a multi. I pretty much normally only drink water and milk.

Drinking only water is fine. However don't drink too much - 2 gallons is plenty... If you drink a lot more than what you require you end up flushing out too much of a whole heap of things that you need (eg: certain electrolytes) and you can end up doing yourself more harm than good.

yeah - me too - just skim milk and water for me. The skim milk is in my PWO shake and I will sometimes drink a cup after dinner or in the afternoon.

thanks guys

I drink only water as well except for milk with my whey.

It takes an excess of about 4 gallons a day, on top of having an extremely low diet in Na, K, Mg, Ca, and Cl. Not to mention long periods of intense exercising.
