10 Tips To Help You Consume 8 Glass Of Water Every Day



These are some tips for the ones that are not use to drinking water often like me. Personally, I think the hardest part of the food lovers program for me is the water drinking. First of all I never use to drink water this often so its kind a difficult for me to consume so much water. But because I want to lose weight I am planning on doing whatever it takes to lose weight.

Well, I did some research about water, I have listed about 10 good strategies below that you can try to get use to drinking 12 glass of water each day. I have personally tried most of them and it worked every time. Maybe you can give it try too and tell me what you think?

1. To maximize the amount of water you intake for most of the day you could make a bet with a co-worker to see who can drink more water in the course of a day.

2. Have a big glass of water at every transitional point of the day: when you first get up, just before leaving the house, when you sit down to work, etc.
                                 
3. Keep one of those 16onces plastic water bottles that are sold at the store on your desk and take a sip until it’s finished.

4. Another thing that you can do is when you are drinking any type of juice whether it’s (apple, grape, or orange) fill half the glass with water.

5. Drinking water will suppress the craving for junk-food. If that should happen just drink a glass of water immediately. At least you know that you avoid the amount of calories that you might have consumed if you bought junk food.

6. Drinking a glass of water every hour while at work. By the time work is done you have already reached your quota.  
7. Substitute ice cold water, ice tea or coffee for a bottle of sugary beverage.

8. The key is when you drink with a straw - you tend to take bigger gulps and drink much more than when you sip it.

9. Instead of freezing water in the ice tray try freezing little bits of peeled lemons, limes, and oranges and use them replace the ice cubes - it's quite refreshing and it also helps to add in a serving of two fruits.

10. After each trip to the restroom, knock back an eight-ounce glass to reload your system again. You can read more here
