Water

I found out today that Della has a similar goal to mine, to drink more water. I've been doing pretty good, I've drunk at least 1 bottle of water each day for the last week. Now I just need to push that to 2, wish me luck. This reminded me of some information that I got when I was seeing a dietition each week:

How can water help in weight loss?
• Studies show that when you think you’re hungry, often you’re actually thirsty, because dehydration is a major contributing factor in fatigue, which leads some people to seek food for energy.
• To keep your body functioning normally and to avoid dehydration, your body needs a continuous water supply.
• For weight management, water is often your best choice it is the most available fluid around and it contains no calories, fat, cholesterol, or caffeine!
