I'm a newbe to the JC diet and have only joined the online plan. I know we are supose to have our 8 cups a day but does anyone know if tea counts for that water? Does the book go into any details on these type of things. I have thought of picking one up after the holidays.

Ok, I can tell you only water counts!!!! Sorry....if you have a caffine drink then you are to drink one extra glass of water for each one. So if you have to glass of tea ..... 1 extra glass of water, 2 cups of coffee...2 extra glasses of water.

I am struggling right now to get the 8 glasses in each day.......build it up don't try to drink all that water in one day.....takes time.

What Phyliis said I have worked my way up to a gallon a day. I break it up into 16oz goals throughout the day. It is much easier for me if I keep a water bottle with me all the time because then I drink it and don't even realize it Love when that happens! We look forward to getting to know you! Drop a line any time.

Thanks,
So does caffene free tea count? I have almost completly elimenated diet soda and coffee. At first it was hard, not sure if I can completly give up the tea (I think the extra cup is worth tea once in a while).
I haven't made it up to 8 yet. Truth be told I use to be lucky to down 2 cups.

Caffene free is fine!! Just try to drink a bit more water everyday....almost everyone has a hard time with it. Took me quite awhile to get up to at least 8 glasses but now if I don't get it in I am missing it!!!

But you need the 8 glasses even with everything else you drink....

Thanks, ok here is another question. Are avocodos an ok food to eat? Is it vegitable or fat. I can eat i whole in a sitting. I usually make a sandwich out of it or put it in ,my saled. Is this a no no?

Alvacados are a- okay! BUT and a HUGE BUT........ only 1/8 of an avacado at a time. It is very healthy but is considered your fat. Very high in fat. If you NEED more and an 1/8 bump it up to 1/4, but then cut back on your butter or mayo (any fat) on your next meal.

Glad you are doing the diet. We love newbies!

Wow Dani you look GREAT....I didn't recognize you!!! Looking thin and beautiful girl!
