re: PuttaDaForkDown

I just got on the water band wagon a few weeks ago and it helped a lot. I try to drink about 65-75 oz a day. Water actually curves my appetite as well. Most times when you think your hungry, you might actually be dehydrated. Also I try to drink around 16oz before a meal to fill me up.

School Weekday routine.
Have a 23oz water down before 10-noon.
Then another 23 oz by 3pm.
Then another by the end of my last class at 5.
When I get home I do some jump rope for about 10 minutes and I've sweated out a good bit.

Workday routine.
I have a 34 oz thermos at work that I keep Ice water in. I sip on that in the morning and have 1-2 cups of coffee. Coffee is a diarrhetic so it flushes the water out of me pretty quick. The I refill my thermos and by the end of the day I got in at least 60-70oz just at work. Also make it a point to get some sips from the fountain when I take bathroom breaks.

I'd stay away from sodas bc those actually help you retain water weight. Only other exception I make is a glass of milk and that's very few and far between.
