Had my weigh in at the Doctors after 4 weeks (although with my Greek holiday) only been taking tablets for 21/2 weeks & have lost 3lbs which I'm ok with but hope to do better over the next 4 weeks...

my only worry is I can't drink the amount of water people on here are recommending - how important is this in conjunction with weight loss please?

      Hi no theres not thats why i drink it but a few people says not to and i was puzzled why, surely its better to drink 3litres with the orange juice in than not drinking it at all xxx

      Well clearly water is better for you. In life sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do and drinking water is much more healthier than drinking diluted juice. I'm not saying you can't drink juice but surely you could at least try.to drink some water as those drinks are high in sugar.

      as i said in previous post you will get bloated/bunged up and the water gets rid of it i have also mentioned on other postings just because i drink up to 8ltrs a day does not mean that i recommend everyone to do it but at least drink 2ltrs a day

      Also i did reply on your original posting about the watergate question.

     Its kinda important as you can get constipated in the first couple of weeks.

    Hi Boo

    I dont drink any water at all, I have loads of sugaur free squash. I know water is better and good for you, but I cannot drink it I feel like im drowning when drinking it, I have even tried drinking it with a straw.
