Jenn I enjoyed this challenge and ended up doing on avg better than 4 liters a day. Thanks Jenn for suggesting it. Susan 280/186/140 No problem Susan! I think we (as a group) should suggest more of these kinds of challenges to keep us thinking about our overall habits and not solely focus on what/how much we're eating all of the time since a healthy overall WOL is probably going to lead to more success than just simply your WOE. Plus it gets people involved and the ones who don't want to be or think it's an "insane" idea can just not participate Jenn |

I had always understood that you shouldn't count soda or coffee and tea when calculating water intake because they are diuretics. Is that not right? Thanks Rachael |

It was long believed that caffeine was a strong diuretic. Sometime in the last several years, research showed that it mainly stimulates the bladder so one has the urge to urinate, but is only slightly diuretic. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

Thanks Rachael I don't count any pop or coffee/tea. When I read Body For Life, Bill Phillips says to compensate for caffeinated beverages with an equal amount of water in addition to your 8-10 glasses a day. When I was on my diet plan we weren't allowed to count caffeinated beverages as water intake. Jenn |

"Beverly" ha scritto nel messaggio ... Is the herbal tea decaffeinated? Yes, it is, and it's also part of my WOE since my GP/nutritionist suggested it for its calming effects. It's a mint and chamomile blend (and other herbs too, I'd have to look it up, though), and I should drink it when I'm on the verge of wanting to eat but not being really hungry. Elly |
