How much did she prescribe that you drink a day?Smith1776 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 11:43 amI hired a nutritionist/trainer and had my first Zoom meeting with her a couple days ago. I told her that I was fairly well versed in fitness concepts and overall was fairly competent in the area. She showed me how wrong I was.
"So you're pretty good with fitness, hey? How much water do you drink every day?"

"Tisk, tisk, tisk...."
I am terrible at drinking water. I can go a full day without drinking anything, which is not good.
Thirst is not a sign of when you should be drinking. And, as you age it gets worse in terms of when you feel like you need to drink something.
Recently I've been trying to establish a "good" habit of drinking a quart of water when I do my daily morning sitting at this computer to do certain items. And, then another quart after I eat a huge amount of popcorn in the afternoon (generally my first "meal" of the day). But I can easily "forget" to do either or both. At some point the habit WILL be established for both the same as I could not let myself NOT brush my teeth twice a day.
I can see the results from frequent drinking in terms of the color of my urine.
But I don't like the accompanying constant annoying feeling of needing to get rid of the water and the constant interruptions that necessitates.
