Water is the best! I drink just water…coffee and Tea (either hot or iced, but always made with the tea bags) And i feel just amazing!!!! Water is the best thing for your body, cellulite, skin, weight and hunger control etc etc etc…Love it…i drink around 3 liters/day…sometimes more counting the coffees and teas during the day ;)

Craving salt (sodium) could also be just an electrolyte imbalance. I would talk to your doctor, to see if adjusting your diet may help. It can also be related to medications. Never hurts to get a couple tests at the doctors.

I drink about 1/2 litres of water a day because I work out a lot and I’m a runner. So I have to stay hydrated. I also make sure I consume water before I have my morning coffee as it dehydrates me. However I agree that I don’t think it does as much as people THINK it does. I do notice that if I’m dehydrated I tend to eat more, then after I have a drink of water I’m not hungry any more, if that makes sense:).

Hi All, im sure, like many, I got tired of reading all the comments about drinking a lot of water, no doubt, could not be bad for you. I’ll give everybody something to think about. Earlier in my life i met a guy who drank 4 gallons of water per day. When I asked him why, he said because he was thirsty ;)……. he said he started drinking a litre, or two, per day….. he worked out, and had to up that amount. Soon, he just became more and more thirsty. Whatever the case, he was drinking 4gallons. Thats a ridiculous amount of water. So i decided to train my body to use less water. I drink about 1 litre per day, plus or minus, and my body is used to it. Not sure about the health repercussions, but, if i drink over my usual amount in a day, my urine becomes transparent, a sign of being well hydrated. I think this whole water deal is about knowing your body and drinking the necessary water accordingly, and knowing that your body will take more of anything you give it, its designed for that, and it will adjust accordingly. But, unless the water is of poor quality, i would probably go with the conventional “science” and drink more, rather than less, before i die in 44.5 years, i hope to be able to tell ppl if i ended up having health repercussions because of this….lol……ciao

Zuzana,

How long have you been working out? What type of shape were you in prior to becoming so very toned. I am looking to tone up and am wondering if the workouts you post are the only exercises that you did in order to get those results. I am hoping to get leaner thighs, stronger upper body, and a six pack.
