Diet coke with antioxidants

[MrsH]

thats sounds pretty healthy to me. But how to you manage to drink so much water. Im struggling to get down 2 liters a day.

OK....call me whatever, but how many ounces make up a litre. I drink about 32-40 oz per day. Sometimes a cup or two more depending on the atmosphere.

40 oz is about 1.2 litres according to a converter I just googled ( I didn't know either!!)

That sounds like a lot of water to me, but if spread through out the day I can see where it would be healthy.

Drinking it all at once would be a problem though. Wouldn't that make you nauseous? I think it would make me feel ill!

Ha ha, it makes me feel funny when I don't drink water to be honest, I don't drink it particularly to try to be healthy, I just need to drink a lot! I do have quite a lot when I first get up in the morning, then the rest is spread pretty evenly. I have heard that there is such a thing as drinking TOO much water - ie you can drown yoursef or something(??!), but I think you must need to drink a lot more for that to happen ( I hope!!)

yeah i heard about that too ( too much water i mean) My husband uses that excuss to drink very little water and more coke. I have no idea how much water is 'dangerouse' , but I have a feeling it also matters how fast you drink it. I heard one woman died because she drank to much water, but she tried to drink massive amounts in very short time as she took part in a competition.

Yeah , I heard of somebody dying from it too - scary - especially when you drink as much as me!

That's actually very interesting because I always thought that even diet soda's aren't good for you when trying to lose weight. I'm just wondering if this could some other marketing scheme by coke to try and compete with natural weight loss pills and weight loss supplements. Either way, I think the best and most effective way to lose weight is simple exercise and healthy eating.

I really don't know, I'm just always thirsty!! I've been tested for diabetes more than once when I was younger because my mum couldn't get over how much I drink!

I did read somewhere that the more you drink, the more your body gets used to it, and you feel thirsty more, so it is probablly just a case of gradually increasing the amount you have.
