You drink 5L of water a day? (assuming 180lbs, 28ml Oz that's 5.04L)

[adenozine]

No no, so it's half your weight in lbs, in oz.

So for a 200lb man, it'd be 100oz. Just under a gallon.

It seems like a lot at first, and for the first few days I peed a lot, but now it seems normal.

Granted, I'm doing myself a small service by saying 200, but that's just a few covid pounds.

Ahh.

That makes more sense, I drink about that just for water excluding over drinks.

Pint of water soon as I wake up, Pint before bed and the rest through the day.

Nice! Good work.

I was terrible about it before. Coffee, energy drinks, sugary crap. I drink almost exclusively water and herbal teas, and I've been staying under 20g of sugar most days for the past few months.

I don't know if you're American or not, but I have struggled with just being surrounded with terrible snack choices and meal choices. It's been nice focusing on changing these behaviors.

UK but we are heading the same way in regards to it been easy to make terrible choices.

For me switching to sugar free energy drinks and fewer of them was a big change.

As a European, I had to look up the fact that 16 oz = 1 lbs. So the statement means: drink 1/32 of your weight.

[adenozine]

Sorry! I didn't realize the overload.

Which is not that far off from 5L. (1L ~ 1 quart)
