Current Events > I'm gonna try to only drink water for 2 weeks

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im still gonna eat food and stuff lol, but I mainly mean Im going to cut out Soda and other drinks and only drink water. Im also going to try to meet that 3.2 L per day thing as well which is something like 6 bottles of water per day. Ill try to keep it to at least 4-6 bottles per day.

This probably doesnt seem like a big deal to most people but Im an idiot and I pretty much dont drink water at all unless Im at the gym drinking from the fountain. I dont necessarily hate drinking water but I always felt like why would I drink water when I can just drink something that has flavor.

I feel like the hardest part will be drinking water while eating. Something about water washing the taste away of what I just ate was always off putting to me and always felt kind of gross. So I guess Ill have to get used to that.

Ill try to keep this topic updated but I most likely wont lol. See you on the other side CE. If this goes successfully Ill see if I can extend it to all of March.

I've done something similar. Not 100% water, but def no soda. Occasionally I have iced tea or orange juice. 3 weeks in and I've lost 5 pounds.

not even milk?

Selzter is your friend. Get a case of la croix to lean on for when you're craving soda. The fizz helps a lot.

If you're drinking sweet tea or orange juice, you're getting just as much sugar by volume as a can of Coke.

Nice stuff. I already tried to mainly cut out soda last year, I pretty much only drink it when there isnt anything to drink. I usually just drink Lemonade or Iced/Sweet Tea.

I dont really drink Milk much anyway other then like a Shake or something tbh

Seltzer is gross. Just put ice on your water.

I bought a 2 liter bottle from Amazon. Drink 2-3 bottles a day.

I think I'd rather die from thirst.

I started associating drinking Code Red with playing Monster Hunter and I've noticably got more pimples. I usually get like 2-3 a month but I had like 4-5 at once at times now

That's probably more the monster hunter than the code red. </sarcasm>

I know. I try to minimize it for sure. I was drinking a lot of soda per day, but maybe I'll have a juice/tea once every 2-3 days.

Lol yeah thats basically how I feel about it, but Im forcing myself to do it. Already drank 2 bottles and another glass when I ate lunch.

It feels pretty gross drinking water in the middle of eating but Im not gonna lie it felt decent after I was done eating. Helped everything go down pretty smooth.

Water has a flavor.

This is hard for me to understand.

Lmao Im sorry I know it sounds dumb but it just feels weird drinking water in the middle of eating something. Its like youre cleansing your palette after each bite.

Also take my opinion with a grain of salt though because I barely ever drink water

drank my 4 bottles for the day

Enjoy pissing every thirty minutes

I wish I loved water like my wife does.

She drinks like 12 bottles a day.

If it's not clear, you're not drinking enough. That's what I always say.

Actually once I went in for a drug test for a new job and they said my sample came back inconclusive. My pee was too diluted from all the water I drink. Had to ease up on the water and take a second test to get proper results back.

I did my 4 bottles yesterday btw. Im on my 3rd today.

Im probably gonna have to invest in one of those jugs that I can carry around because Im already running out of Water Bottles

Also I kept hearing that I was gonna have to pee a ton when I started doing this but I havent really been peeing more than I usually do, idk.

I drink only water. Eventually you get to a point where it is all you want to drink.

I drink about 6 liters a day.

Since you are substituting water for other beverages, you might be consuming the same total amount.

Good luck
It's hard, but worth it.

After your two weeks are up, try to keep up with water and remember that the occasional soda is fine

That depends on how much sugar you put in your tea

Everytime I try this I end up pissing like every 5 minutes and give up.

True, I might up it to 6 bottles when I get that jug

Yeah definitely, if the two weeks goes well I plan to make it all of March. Then Im not sure how many bottles but Ill try to at least still drink a decent amount.

Im not really overweight or out of shape or anything, but I damn well know my diet is terrible and I think this will be somewhat of a decent first step to getting better.

Whatever filtered water my fridge spits out.

What would you normally drink while eating? Water dilutes the taste of the food the least

I drink tap water that goes through a reverse osmosis filtration system. Good stuff. Best $200 I spent in my kitchen remodel.

Anything lol. Lately before this I was drinking a lot of Lemonade.

Also at the rec center at my school they were passing out some Essentia water for free and it was pretty decent. Im gonna see if I can find a pack or something

Please don't drink water. You are depriving plants and animals of what water.

I didnt see any Essentia at Marianos
