1 gallon/4 liters a day don't sound much, fwiw I've been drinking (significantly) more than that for years, without forcing, I just always seem thirstier than the next person.

Don't discuss with Visaria, he seems to be the expert who knows everything. Doctors are idiots, the real experts you can find on ET. Not only experts in trading.
All depends of what kind of diet you follow. If you follow a ketogenic diet and don't drink enough you can have severe problems with kidneys and some organs can even stop working. Never do a diet without doctors surveillance.
There is no 1 rule covering everything. But like always on ET something is black or white. Grey does not exist. For that in general people need a higher education.

Another "trick" is to drink water during the morning when you get a hunger feeling. You should drink plenty of water anyway, especially during the morning as you get somewhat dehydrated during the night. Having a bottle of water, plus a glass, sitting on your desk is best because it reduces the hurdle to drink some. You don't need to get up and walk to get something to drink. Of course can you also drink coffee and/or tea....However, each of us is different, so the amount of liquid that we feel comfortable with varies. Avoid advice such as "you must drink x liter/gallons of water per day".
This is good advice. I would suggest fizzy water instead of still.

If u r feel like drinking because you are thirsty, this is ok. Your body is v good at regulating water intake via thirst. It will make you feel thirsty if you lack water. Go with it. Two exceptions are if you are elderly or exercising in a very cold environment. For some reason the thirst mechanism is affected, so you should drink a bit more than what your thirst suggests.
If you drink water to excess, you risk hyponatremia:

- Drinking too much water. Because you lose sodium through sweat, drinking too much water during endurance activities, such as marathons and triathlons, can dilute the sodium content of your blood. Drinking too much water at other times can also cause low sodium
Drinking 4 litres when it is not needed can make you seriously ill and can be fatal if taken in a short period of time. For schweital to recommend that the OP drinks 4 litres is irresponsible and stems from his ignorance.

I would suggest YOU obtain a higher education before offering irresponsible advice. Stupid advice on this health section forum, if taken, can kill. Stupid trading advice on the rest of the forum (like shorting one of the biggest bull markets in history lol) might be bad for your retirement account but probably will not kill you (well i suppose u might commit suicide!)

I posted earlier in this thread a link: http://www.pronokalgroup.com/en/pronokal-group/about-us/
This program is developped by doctors and for as far as I know one of the only programs where you can enter only thru introduction of a doctor. Products are not freely available. A doctor will monitor you from start till finish. Every 2 weeks checkup with blood analysis, scan of heart, bloodpressure, analysis of urine...
What I post comes from that program. But you are apparently smarter than these doctors.
"450,000 patients treated and 4,000 prescribing doctors who trust in the rigour and effectiveness of our methods. These figures make PronoKal Group® the top company in our sector."
About your 4 liter water limit. A lot of factors have an influence on the amount of water you an drink:
- weight of the person
- time period during which consuming the water
- drugs user or not
- activity (how much energy do you burn)
On average 6 liters a day is dangerous. Certain groups can go over 4 liter a day without any problem. Others can even not take 4 liters (drug users). I never posted anything about the water consumption till this posting so I wonder what part of my advice is deathly?
For schweital to recommend that the OP drinks 4 litres is irresponsible and stems from his ignorance.
Show me where I wrote this. You just confirmed that you should go to school again. Start with basics of reading and understanding.

Apologies, it was not you, but cartmm who wrote that.
I never had hunger although it was less then 750 kcal a day.
Nevertheless, this is a bad idea. Doing this for a period of time, at say less than 1000 calories a day for a dude, the body will think there is a famine going on and dump metabolically expensive muscle and retain fat.
Mostly awful advice with some seriously dangerous crap .
Pls do not drink 4 litres of water a day! This could kill you.
I would be interested to hear why you think 4 litres is too much, if you care to share? On my gym days I tend to think its slightly on the low side, because of how much I tend to sweat out and my urine colour. On the other days I think its fair goal, for me, a moderately active male.
Or what you think is awful/dangerous? I tried to prefix my post by saying what works for me, but maybe I should have been clearer. I find the trial & error quite interesting so always happy to hear suggestions and what's been working well for others.
