The more you drink the less you retain.

This philosophy has worked very well for me in the past so I plan to make use of it again.  I’ll fill a gallon jug with water every morning and do my best to drink all of it before I go to bed every night.  If I can drink more than a gallon, I will, but a gallon will be my minimum every day.

Another water issue to consider is soft drinks.  I don’t drink carbonated beverages but I do enjoy some Crystal Light on occasion.  The only problem with most Crystal Light powders is that they use aspartame as a sweetener.  Aspartame has caused many a weight loss stall for me in the past so I’ll be sticking to straight water or herbal teas.

I will allow myself coffee.  To restrict my coffee intake would make life very unpleasant for my family.
