WTG guys!!
Brandy, why so high? It's great to drink water, but aren't you worried about too much? Be careful!!

By Brandy on Friday, January 25, 2008 - 11:02 pm:

i've heard to lose weight you are supposed to drink half your body weight in ounces so that's what i'm doing = ) yay me i've drank 107 ozs today and all by 11pm yippee...i will be careful though i actually asked a personal trainer about this years ago about water poisoning and he said unless i drink 2 gallons(i'm pretty sure this is what he said) that it would be fine = ) i might call tomorrow and ask at the local gym just for reassurance = ) have a great night everyone...

By Crystal915 on Friday, January 25, 2008 - 11:07 pm:

Be careful, because that's almost 2 gallons!! I would call the nurse line of your health insurance, if you have one, or ask a doctor, we want you to lose weight, but not dangerously!!

I checked Wikipedia, and it says you can only get water intoxication by drinking that much in a short period of time, or exercising intensively and drinking a lot of fluids that don't replace electrolytes. So you should be ok, but I'd still ask a doctor, and drink gatorade when exercising. On an interesting side note, water intoxication killed Andy Warhol.

My Weight Watchers book says to drink 6 glasses of water every day, but it don't say how many ounces per glass...BUT on Oprah the other day she says a glass is 8 oz. She was on there with Dr. Oz (don't you just love him??)I am not sure who is right but that would make it 48oz a day if this were true.

Keep in mind:
What you eat also provides a significant portion of your fluid needs. On average, food provides about 20 percent of total water intake, while the remaining 80 percent comes from water and beverages of all kinds.
