Eight Glasses Every Day? Water Load of Nonsense!” An amazing piece of article I read just now!

If you have always believed that drinking 8 glasses of water a day is a must, then you have to read the whole article tweeted @MyFastWeightLos.

It is a view shared by Glasgow-based GP Margaret McCartney, who describes the idea that we need eight glasses of water a day as ‘not only nonsense but thoroughly debunked nonsense’.

Furthermore, she says that there is little evidence to support the idea that water before meals will help you lose weight, or indeed that even mild dehydration may contribute to the risk of conditions such as a stroke.

‘My main concern is that the bottled water industry is trying to persuade health professionals to advocate that we should all be drinking more water than we need to,’ she writes. ‘The idea that we all need eight glasses of water a day is ridiculous. The water requirement for each person is different and is different every day.’

She adds that the only groups who do need to be prompted to drink are young children and the elderly.

So, what I have always been thinking and practicing is right too! I don’t always drink 8 glasses of water as I believe that I can also get fluids from fruits and vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables are full of water and even cheese, for instance, is a third water. In fact, tea, coffee, juice or soup do count towards the fluid intake.

Today, I am going to share with you an inspiring story that can motivate you if you have made up your mind to lose weight. ^.^

The success story is about LaRhonda Darby who successfully shed 202 pounds in a year.

Yup, a year! There’s no fast weight loss solution for this lady at all.

The whole article can be read @MyFastWeightLos.

When her mother died from illnesses related to her weight, her 433-pound daughter knew it was time to do something about her own.

As well as turning to God for help, LaRhonda Darby, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, also turned to ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition.

With the help of personal trainer Chris Powell, she was able to lose 202 pounds in a year.

The show chronicled Miss Darby’s struggle to lose weight and her extreme highs and lows as she embarked on a rigorous diet and exercise regime.

So extreme were her efforts that she even collapsed at one stage and had to be hospitalised for dehydration.

But she said it was her mother’s death from diabetes that kept her going as well as God.
