But if you are in good health, and not working in high temperatures, your body does not need that much water. Plus remember your food contains water too. It's pretty clearly not working for you, so I think you should feel safe in dialing back as long as you don't go below 32 ounces. snopes.com: Eight Glasses of Water a Day |
I concur. I rarely get in the amount of water that they say I should...and I think I have done just fine. As I mentioned earlier...drinking makes me hungry...so why would I want to do that.
Birdee you may lose restriction from drinking...especially if you are drinking something warm. I know that a lot of people will drink something warm to loosen themselves up so they can eat in the morning. There is no reason to think that you are crazy. One thing I have to say that I have learned in these last 9 months is that...everyone is different...and nothing surprises me about the band.
