How much water do you drink per day?
 
I drink three litres per day and I wonder if that is too little? Currently I am on Inductions and drink only.

How much water do you drink?

Many thanks and regards,

I drink 5 liters a day.

The rule of thumb is 8-8oz glasses of water plus 8oz per 25lbs that you want to lose.

Around 400oz, I think that's close to 10 liters, not sure on math.

Damn...don't u guys get sick of water after awhile? I try to drink as much as I can, but it's hard sometimes especially when your not thirsty.

I drink a little over 100 oz a day. I don't "get sick" of water because with a dry mouth from atkins it is the best thing.

I try to drink 6 16 oz. bottles a day ... most before 7 so I don't have an uncomfortable full bladder overnight ;)

I love my water - I drink about 5 to 6 L a day. Plus I like to chew on a cup of ice at night.

I usually drink anywhere from 3-4 liters a day (about 100-135 oz). Now that work has started (I'm a high school teacher) I'm using my voice alot more now. Being at home for the summer didn't leave me many people to talk to - except myself, but now I'm up teaching all day. As a result, I'm not only more active physically, but my mouth seems to be drier. I half fill 4 (500 ml) water bottles and freeze them ahead of time. At work I just fill the rest of the way with cold water and I have ice water to drink all day. I keep the bottles in my lunch box to keep my lunch cold, and keep refilling each bottle until the ice is gone. By the end of the day I've gone through three of the bottles. The fourth bottle is for the drive home. Then at home I keep drinking ice water.

I also drink a minimum of 1 liter (about 34 oz) at the gym in the morning. I take sips between each set of repetitions and refill the bottle from the water fountain as needed.

My students are pretty good about behaving when I leave the classroom frequently to go to the bathroom! But I keep so busy I usually wait until my eyeballs are singing "Anchors Away".

I dink between 4 and 5 liters per day. I am in my third week and still sticking with the induction diet. Lost ten lbs week one, but nothing since, but won't give up. I am hoping for my first whooosh soon.

Love to all,

Emerald

I drink on about 178 oz of water a day. I am trying to catch up to my hero LadyBelle! lol.
And yes I tinkle all day and night long-
My skin has never EVER looked better, its funny the more water you drink the more I crave it?
Any one else?

I used to HATE water. Since starting Atkins, I crave it. It helps keep that nasty ketosis breath at bay. I strive for 160+ oz. per day.

At least 2 liters, sometimes more.
