Gulp

January 18th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Goal setting |

Gulp indeed, I’ve been drinking plenty of water since I was ill all last week. Today even more so. I have been reading a book about natural diet solutions for PCOS and Infertility and came across a formula for just how much water you should drink and some interesting facts. (more that I’ll share in the future too)

The suggestion is to drink 40@ of your body weight in water each day. Seriously as I type that all I hear are toilet flushes…

Your weight x 40% =ounces to drink

For example:(using my weight)

205 # x 40% = 82 oz of water

So basically I have to drink 2.5 quarts of water daily. Now I have been increasing the water, but not that much yet. In fact, that is going to be my goal for this week! If you need me I’m sure you can find me in the little girls’ room.

  • good luck. that's a lot of water.
  • Thanks for the reminder! After reading this I went and filled up my water bottle and have already downed 30 oz. almost 1/2 of what I need each day. I have been slacking on this so badly and have really been retaining water a lot this week. Between party food (two parties this weekend), margaritas (a killer when it comes to water retention) and that time of the month, I have been going up on the scale instead of down. I will be chugging right along with you this week!

    At first, that sounds like a lot of water. But once I calculated it out, I only have to drink 60oz. Not bad, really.
  • I read somewhere to drink at least half of your weight in ounces of water. Water is essential in running your system. I've noticed when I'm drinking the right amount of water, I lose more weight that week. In fact, I can count my calories, but if I don't drink my water, I don't lose the weight, or as much.

    Good luck on drinking your water, it is hard but so worth it!
