Gulp!

… both figuratively and literally.

‘Memba the old saying, “Drink 8 glasses of water a day to stay healthy” … ?

Well, not so much, evidently.

If you already knew this, my apologies (it’s been out since early April). But this is the first I’ve heard of it, and I have to admit, I’m really surprised.

It won’t change my habits, mainly because I need to drink lots of water because of my gout condition. But there’s one comment that I’d like to call shenanigans on;

There are no studies that show that chugging H2O will curb your appetite.

As someone who fasts twice a week for 24 hour periods (via the Eat Stop Eat program), I can say that during fast time, I drink lots of water. I drink more when I’m feeling hungry. For me, at least, it takes the hunger more or less away, almost right away.

I think I’ll wait to see more evidence on this one, thank you very much!
