How much water do you drink during the day?
I have been on a diet recently and drinking a lot of water. I did the calculations and I drink just about a gallon of water during work. I feel like I drink a lot but in reality I think you're supposed to drink much more. Anybody here know how much you're supposed to drink during the day?

Re: How much water do you drink during the day?
i've started trying to get in at least 7-8 glasses a day. Usually I'll have a bottle of water before work, 3-4 cups of water at work and then another 2-3 later on in the day into evening

I have to remind myself to keep drinking it. If I don't pay attention to it I won't drink it. Thank god we have a water cooler. The diet is going really well. I have been on it since Mid Jan and have lost 27 lbs so far. I also haven't been to the gym once and haven't been on my eliptical in over 2 months. It is all about eating right and portion control. Thank you for asking.

Re: How much water do you drink during the day?
I average 80oz on weekdays and 64oz on weekends.
It really takes effort, but, I know the benefits are worth it.

Re: How much water do you drink during the day?
A gallon seems like a LOT of water, especially since you aren't exercising.
It is definitely possible to drink too much water.
I average about 2 liters (64 oz. or a half-gallon) per day.

I walk my dog about a mile and a half to 2 miles a day. I just eliminated any type of fast food, reduced starches. I have a veggie, salad and a type of meat for dinner. It really isn't bad. I will need to hit the gym to start lifting weights again but for now I am still trying to lose more.

Re: How much water do you drink during the day?
It's interesting that drinking too much water can be dangerous to your health.
From what I've read, too much water lowers the salt concentration in your body and it more or less floods your cells and causes them to swell. This is bad in general, but especially so when it concerns brain cells. Granted you'd have to be consuming lots and lots of water to the point that you're getting sick because of it.
I also remember another article that stated that most people already get a good amount of water from the foods they eat, so drinking 64 ounces of water straight up isn't absolutely necessary. But then again, science flip-flops so much on these things, so I try to at least have 5 glasses of water a day.

Re: How much water do you drink during the day?
48 oz minimum. After having a bad UTI almost 2 yrs ago, I drink water religioulsy every day, I can go upwards to a gallon. It must be working becuase knock on wood, I may be going to the bathroom a lot to "flush" things out, but no UTI in 2 yrs.

You think I should cut down my water consumption until I go back to the gym?

I looked into this about 2 years ago bc I was drinking a ridiculous amount of water. It is true, you can drink too much water.. And the chances of it getting to the point where it is too much, is SO SLIM!!!!
Keep drinking. You're not going to drown yourself.

I'm not a doctor, so I'm not comfortable giving you advice about this. I'll just say that if it were me, yes, I would cut down.

They were talking about this on the news last night saying how only athletes really need to drink 8 glasses a day and most people don't need that much. With so many different body types and metabolisms I can't see how 64oz could be the standard for everyone.
To answer the original question, I drink a half-liter bottle of water every day.
