Actually, that's not necessarily so. It's sometimes recommended that when trying to lose weight, one drinks eight 8 oz. (total of 64 oz.) glasses of water a day plus eight additional ounces for every 20 lbs. s/he is overweight. For some people, a gallon of water would be just fine. The 64 oz. of water a day is the recommended minimum. |
