8 glasses of water

Will I lose weight if I drink 8 glasses of water a day without drinking soda and exercising??

get your weight ,
divide by two .
that is how many ounces of water to drink .
ex) im about 100 pounds , divide by 2 .
thats 50 . 50 ounces is 6.25 cups .
thats how much water I need to drink .

whats your weight ?

also :
food wise -
*fats, oils, sweets - USE SPARINGLY !
* milk, yogurt, cheese , etc . : 2-3 servings DAILY
*meat, poultry, fish, DRIED beans, eggs, nuts, etc : 2-3 servings DAILY
*veggies: 3-5 servings daily
*fruit: 2-4 servings daily
* bread, cereal, rice and pasta : 6-11 servings DAILY.

have a salad ONCE or TWICE a day with a LOW FAT OR FAT FREE dressing .

get either protein bars or shakes .
personally, I like the south beach peanut butter protein bars .
you can find them at the grocery store .
or you can get protein supplements from health food store ,
and you need two things of protein a day .

oh for protein - special K has protein water .

physical aspect:

1. eat good food .
2. relax in bathtub atleast twice a weak (known to relieve stress) .
3. Bike/run .
4. Lift weights . (if your a girl 2-5 pounds is good , be creative though)
5. get ENOUGH sleep . (8-10 hours)
6. Practice Yoga .
7. Play sports or extra caricular activites .
8. take walks .
9. stretch .
10. do aerobics workouts .

also :

1. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY .
- pay attention to how different foods make you feel .

2. BE MODERATE AND AVOID EXTREMES .

exercize 20-30 minutes
3 or more times a week .

"How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?"
 
One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

"What should a minimum calorie intake be?"

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

your probably perfectly fine
and dont need to lose any weight
soda is bad for you, and its going to contribute to weight gain
the body cant process that crap properly
so drinking water not only helps your insides but alo things like your skin, energy, ect
it wont help with weight loss much unless you always drink sods instead or water

Of course if you cut soda and sugar out of your diet and add exercise you'll lose weight. Silly!

I try to drink 4-5 bottles of water a day. It's great being hydrated.

Well, yes and no. I does by filling you up so you don't feel hungry, but other than that it doesn't do anything.
