Water

Drinking the right amount of water a day isn't as easy as it sounds. I use to drink less than 4 glasses of water a day. Way less then what I'm suppose to be drinking. When I told myself to consume more, it was a hard change. Mainly because drinking too much water makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. I started slowly and eventually started to drink more than 8 glasses a day. I did notice a lot of changes after drinking the recommended amount of water. It made my skin a lot more hydrated, my lips were less chapped, less food cravings, and I shed off some weight.

Here's my water drinking routine:

  • 2 glasses(8oz each) of water in the morning as soon as I wake up
  • Drink from any 20oz bottle(more than 2 glasses of water) while eating breakfast
  • Drink from any 20oz bottle while eating lunch
  • Drink from any 20oz bottle while having an afternoon snack
  • 1 glass of water before working out
  • Drink from any 20oz bottle while working out
  • Drink from any 20oz bottle while eating dinner

amount of water consumed= 124oz

Tips:

  • Get a water bottle that you can use to refill water with(recycle/reuse!)
  • If you don't usually drink the recommended amount of water a day(8 glasses), start by adding a glass of water to your diet every two days until you get to the recommended amount.
  • Gaining water weight is WAY better than actually gaining "fat" weight.
  • Don't be afraid to gain water weight for the first few days. It'll eventually flush away a long with the rest of the toxins that's been with you for so many years.
