Uk/Europe - Water consumption

lou-bi-wan · 03-21-2007, 07:02 AM

I drink about 2 litres a day but am thinking of increasing it to 3 litres. How much do you drink per day?

Cosmic mentioned flavoured water that contain hidden sugars, has anyone found any flavoured ones that are pure i.e. 0 carbs or natural without aspartame?

CosmicMuffin · 03-21-2007, 07:49 AM

I know you have to watch the flavored Volvic it has close to 6 teaspoons full of sugar in it.

I am going to do my best to get my water up to 3 plus liters today. So we can post daily what we are drinking.

I am on number two at the moment.

shykins · 03-21-2007, 09:53 AM

gosh i didnt know that about the volvic cosmic

i usually drink low cal tonic at the moment as i am having problems getting my water down,, i did used to drink about 8 pints pretty easily

Kissa · 03-21-2007, 04:56 PM

Help! I drink tons of the Volvic!

I have just sent DH to grab a bottle for me to study. I love the Lemon and Lime flavour, I dilute it half and half with tap.

Shy, just looking at your amazing losses above. What is S/W?

Well my bottle firmly say 0 carbs, although it says sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame K.

MintQ8 · 03-22-2007, 12:46 AM

Sucralose is Splenda (just about I think?) and the other stuff is a sweetener - not sugar.

Don't expect anything like that here Mum!!!!! Plain old water (or some very nice Australian Plonk!)

shykins · 03-22-2007, 02:04 AM

SW is slimming world which i did before i did atkins .. .seems horrific to me now when i think what i ate lol

i did gain back about 3/4 stone after doing slimming world which is something i have never done with atkins so this is definitely it for life for me now

lol mint do u think we can count wine in our daily amounts!!

CosmicMuffin · 03-22-2007, 04:06 AM

I was told that about the Volvic at a WW meeting I did ages ago. We also discussed it yesterday after work. One of the girls is doing slimming world. Just be careful because they do have hidden carbs.

I am on my 2nd liter of water today.

I am aiming to get in close to 4 that is my new goal.

What I do is I keep the amount I need to drink in fridge in 1 liter bottles. That way I know what I am drinking. I try to refill each night. I have two 1 liter bottles at work that I try to get through during the day. Since I am thinking about what all I need to drink it seems to be much harder to get it all in.

lou-bi-wan · 03-22-2007, 09:46 AM

I'm 2 litres down and it's only 3.30, this is much easier than I thought.

CosmicMuffin · 03-22-2007, 10:53 AM

I normally get another liter and half in when I get home. SO....I just need that to be at my total for the day. I think this is good. Because I am now getting all my water in. YEAH

Gizmo85 · 03-22-2007, 11:36 AM

i only manage 2litres tops. but i always need to pee!!! embarassing at work

CosmicMuffin · 03-22-2007, 11:56 AM

I just say I gotta go and I go.

Gizmo - 2 litres is good, no reason to force it.

lou-bi-wan · 03-23-2007, 07:20 AM

Water today is . . .2 litres so far. I'm really thirsty today so I think I'll be close to 4 litres by the time I finish.

CosmicMuffin · 03-23-2007, 07:24 AM

I have not had anything to drink today. I was late leaving for work. Where I a today I don't have access to my water. I keep looking for a water cooler.

You poor thing

I hope you find one.

CosmicMuffin · 03-23-2007, 07:30 AM

I just want to go home. I off in search of a loo now. I have to pass the double chocolate muffins that like to call me name.

Kissa · 03-23-2007, 11:45 AM

Drink up Cosmic.

I am a bit behind myself. Oops!

Good work Lou.

CosmicMuffin · 03-24-2007, 06:47 AM

OK...I am starting my first two liters right now. How is everyone doing today?

Maid of Erin · 03-24-2007, 01:58 PM

I need to work on getting more water in. I do drink about four cups of tea per day, but not enough plain stuff.

lou-bi-wan · 03-24-2007, 02:25 PM

It's 8.30pm and I've just started my third litre, I always struggle with my water intake on the weekends . . .

CosmicMuffin · 03-25-2007, 01:08 PM

I am starting my third right now. So wish me luck. I really have to go to the loo.

lou-bi-wan · 03-26-2007, 09:41 AM

How many glasses are there in a litre of water? Fit day does oz, not sure about liquid oz's??

shykins · 03-26-2007, 09:45 AM

this could get convulted but....

in a pint there is 20fl oz... so a litre would be umm 2pnts 40 plus .2 of 2pints.. ummm 48fl oz??
maybe u need to look at a converter somewhere and ignore all that lol

nice try

Kissa · 03-26-2007, 09:53 AM

Empty your milk carton, first checking how many litres it holds, fill it with water, select a glass of your choice, pour, throw and count!

Simple but effective.
