I Am Trying to Drink More Water Every Day

I've been trying to up my intake, I heard its good for your skin as well as just being generally healthy but I'm finding it difficult 😩

When I get to mealtimes I don't feel like eating much as I'm already half full from drinking.

No-one has the 'recommended' 8 glasses a day, right??

Its really not even recommended to drink that much. Your body has a great system for telling you when you need water. Its called thirst! Drink water when you are thristy :)

@Pherick Good point, if I mangage 4 glasses in a day i'm happy. Which is more than i'd have if it wasn't a deliberate effort. So I guess i'm doing ok.

@Emele I think we forget that our bodies have had hundreds of thousands of years to get these signals right. They are good at telling us when we need more water, if they weren't we would have died off a long time ago :)

I have 32oz bottle I fill in the mornings and drink that throughout the day. To be honest I care more about the color of my output than I do my intake. Output should be light in color and not have a strong odor. If its dark or smells, you might want to add more water into your diet.
