Water?
It doesn't harm, as long as you aren't going nuts with the water. I've seen people recommending upwards of a gallon of water a day, and that much is dangerous! Aim for around 2L as a starting point.
Also i've heard not to drink a glass of water immediately after food. Water dilutes stomach acids, and you need them most when you've had at eaten!
have a look for a 1ltr bottle with timings on the side like on the website above, then you will have something to measure your intake by good luck!
or make your own if you feel up to a challenge!

have a look at this for more info on what you maybe buying from the supermarket, explains the traffic light system they have on most foods, if you know/measure out a serving of the food/drink then you can work out the calories. Its all pretty new to me, on week 2 of the 12 week challenge, have lost a stone over the past month, keep researching what works for you
I found that actually really helpful I never check the traffic light thing and I will now thank you also the portion control which is my worst ill bulk up with loads veggies lol
Thank you LouTrev I've just had a long look at this, very interesting and some fantastic tips xx
Hi, have you tried drinking boiled water? I drink it on a morning, also I now drink decaffeinated tea as well as cold water, variety may work and not as boring as continuous glasses of cold water.
Any place that works for you is a great place to start. Drinking more water will also fill you up and make you feel full more quickly, Try to drink a glass of water before giving in to snacks and before your meals. Good luck and welcome!
