The point I am trying to make you understand is - drink more water!

You may be wondering how much is enough! A simple formula - you should drink half your weight in ounces of water. So if you weigh 150 pounds, you should drink 75 ounces of water each day. If this task seems impossible, start slowly increase your water intake until you reach your goal. Something easy - break your day into thirds, calculate how much water you need to drink each third, then hold yourself accountable for achieving these smaller goals.

For those of you who are already thinking that this will send you to the bathroom every two seconds, consider this: As you slowly increase your water intake, your body will become more effective treatment / using the water, and your desire to be decreasing. You can also add a small pinch of Celtic sea salt (not every time) that will help your body absorb water and give you a bunch of trace elements fantastic (electrolytes) that your body needs anyway.

Not that I think calories are the culprit, but I think people eat too much and confuse thirst hinges is one way that people eat more.

Now go enjoy a glass of water ... or two ... or 10!
