Right, over the holidays I managed to rack up about 14 bottles of coke, 4 fanta and 2 Shloer, not including stuff I had while out. This made me realise how much crap I actually drink, so I've forced myself to drink nothing but fruit juices and water until I actually feel better in myself. Progress will be below.
It's really a good idea, I did this myself and now I only actually drink fizzy drinks etc on special occasions or as a treat. It's so much better health wise and especially for your teeth.
I drink fruit juice most of the time now after doctors advice, altough i can't help myself with redbull :(!
Noticed a downside already, 5th toilet trip in about 2 and a half hours.
I'll join you, i pretty much drink water anyway, but now i'm cutting out all sugar drinks, and saving alcohol until summer, unless something comes up.
Good stuff, So far, No fizzy crap, Just fruit juices and water.
It's my new years resolution, to only drink water. So far so good. However, I will be drinking alcohol as and when I go out for a night, if I'm in the mood. It's my 18th in like 6 weeks and funnily enough I'm not planning on drinking water then :P Weird having a McDonalds and asking for a water, haha.
Yh I thought that, doesn't go right, Big mac, Fries and a water? What's going on there.
Eight glasses of water today I am proud tbh.
yeah it's like that for the first 2 weeks or so but it gets better (or maybe i just stopped noticing i went so much)Quote:

Haha, spose that's an upside that I won't notice too much, I just figured that all the crap I was drinking wasn't doing me much good.
Next challenge would be food tho, then just general fitness.
Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I'm doing it, so my skin isn't so ming.
Tbh its a good idea although some juices are not good for you either they put loads of sugar so you should also read the labels on ur juice to make sure it isnt just as bad as the soda
Pure fresh stuff.
Day 7, still stuck to it, not even desperate for coke or anything anymore.
Same Adz! First few days I instinctively went to get squash/juice/fizzy drink but now I'm just like water :8
do you feel better? and have you noticed any changes to yourself?Quote:

I think your problem is drinking too much. Most things are ok to drink regular but not having like one can of coke after the other etc.Quote:

I started just drinking milk or flavoured water for a while last year but my mum hasn't got the water for a while now I think and there's always cans on Tango there and stuff lol :/
If you don't already drink filtered water. Healthier and tastes much better. Cheaper than buying bottled water too :)
How? Filtered water is basically changing hard water to soft water, but hard water is healthier (and tastes much better in my opinion)...Quote:

Once your body gets used to the idea that you're drinking a lot more than you used to it'll stop storing up water for safekeeping and toilet trips ought to become less frequent, as well as making you lose that weight of all the water your body was keeping around before (because you were basically dehydrating yourself before if you weren't drinking enough)
Nah not filtering it, I'm hard like that.
And cheers FJ, Didn't really know about this kinda area. ;)
Btw if you've been helpful, repping.
Don't drink filtered water, it filters out the minerals and everything good in the water, tbh i dont know why people even drink filtered water just stick to normal :P
Remember that fruit juices have natural sugars, so drinking enough won't do you any good.
There's nothing negative with drinking water except if you consume too much, in which case you die either by drowning or your kidneys cannot process it fast enough and your brain swells. A couple of liters in a short space of time will be damaging, some guy at a gym recently nearly died whilst working out. Anyway, I digress, I presume you're just having it in a glass every so often each day.
yeah i'm kind of doing this. be all nice and fresh and all that crp and lose a bit of weight or somet. it's wkd cos it bloats you and like washes you out with going to the loo all the time, altho it can get a bit boring to drink with meals. :(
8 days and going strong
Don't worry, know all about that ;)Quote:

Ive changed my diet already, i still eat whatever my mum makes me, even if its not considered healthy, just cut out all the crap like crisps and biscuits and sugar etc.
Still only drinking water, considering starting bodybuilding as welll, although not to get huge haha.
Yeah that's what i'm cutting out, I snack to hell for some reason.
you'll probably find it quite easy to, a lot of people mistake dehydration for hunger, you do get water from various foods but it won't be enough and that's why you have to eat more.Quote:

I've been drinking water with the odd occasion of a fizzy drink for about 2 months now, I do feel much better ;)
Nearly gave in today but managed to fight it off, That's the only time i've really craved tango :/
YOU CAN DO IT.
I keep seeing juice and squash in the house and think how much more flavour it has :(
That's what nearly made me give in, No joke, it was like an advert, drips of water comin off it and everything :(
