Could hard water slow weight loss?
The water in our home is extremely hard. It's so hard that when we had it tested for hardness, it was off the charts. I know, really gross, but I called the city and there's nothing we can do except buy a water softener (but with our crazy plumbing it's soooo expensive). So we have to deal with our hard water. If I'm home, I drink water from the filtered refrigerator water. It does not get rid of the minerals that cause the hardness, just bad bacteria. I have noticed that when I drink this water, I lose less weight. This entire week I've been working from home, and haven't lost anything. Yesterday I was out all day and drank bottled water, and this morning I lost weight.
Do you think there's a correlation?
Thanks!
Bonnie
