Drinking Water

[BigLenny]

your body only can absorb 16 ounces of water an hour so you have to be consistent and pace yourself drinking those 3 bottles in a row isn't doing much good after the first bottle as it just goes right through you often takin needed nutrients acids and protien on the way out.

I drink .75 - 1.5 per day. I used to have to try at it but now my body just wants it. If I spread it out rather than down a bunch at once I don't have to piss as often.

Also, getting a nice water bottle helps. My Gatorade bottle makes it easier than ever before to drink water. Something about the setup of the nipple

I really need to drink more water myself. It is so hard to fit it in my day.

Drink one oz. of water for two pounds of body weight. If you weight 200 lbs., you'll need to drink 100 oz. of water a day.

now, do you all drink tap water, or some "claimed" purified water or anything special...

sometimes here in CR after alot of rain you can taste the extra cholorine they put in, i dont like the taste of water, i know it isnt supposed to taste like anything but for me it does...

what else do you do to make it taste like something else?

tea bags of some flavor?

Like suggested those crystal lights are good. Mio is pretty good too. You could also make up a couple gallons of tea (use more than 1 tea bag for this much water) and toss it in the fridge for when you need something different. Make sure you do it with herbals though, don't need the caffeine to dehydrate you further. Stash makes a good Acai berry tea that is awesome cold.

And for those of you who wait til your thirsty to drink, watch out, by the time you're actually thirsty most sources say that you're already dehydrated.

I carry my blender bottle around with me and drink probably 10-12 of them a day. Yeah, you piss a lot, but I just think of it as extra cardio to get up and run to the bathroom.

I drink a gallon of water a day. How much does everyone else on here drink? I find it hard to drink that much.Too much peeing.

peeing cleans your body so dont worry drink lots of water

better to think in terms of total fluid intake....I drink a half gallon of milk, maybe a quart of juice, and then some water....drinking just water will screw with your electolyte balance and have diuretic effects if you are drinking upwards of a gallon a day.

The more water u drink the less your body holds. It's exactly the opposite if ur dehydrated. Ur body holds water because its basically a survival instinct of ur body. I drink about 1-1.5 a day. And I piss alot but holdin less water and not being bloated as fuck is worth it

I didn't know this. I noticed since i incrased my water intake, i'm starting to look leaner & harder. Could be exactly what you're saying here. Interesting.
