For years I had an article saved on my PC about how water helps with fat loss but lost it when my PC crashed.
Basically, it said that the liver processes fat and the kidneys rid the body of toxins. If the kidneys aren't getting enough water for this, the liver has to help out, in which case it cannot do as good a job of processing the fat. It sounds plausible and I know that when I am drinking more water I seem to lose faster. Unfortunately, I also spend more time in the bathroom. Here's another article that basically says the same thing.

Too much water can be bad for you, but I don't think any of us is drinking too much.
Interestingly, I heard that bariatric surgery patients are told not to drink while eating, as it helps to move the food through the pouch faster and allows you to eat more. I wonder if that is also true with non bariatric patients. I don't usually drink anything at meal times at home but always get water when eating out.
According to the .5 oz per lb of body weight, I should be drinking between 5-6 bottles of water per day. I really don't think I could do that. I average 3, sometimes more, but if I did 5-6 I wouldn't be able to leave the house! LOL
Today I went shopping for my ground meat for hamburgers. I will probably make 3 hamburgers, two for DH and one for me. DH, who doesn't like to eat ground meat that has been frozen, made me buy 2 big pkgs saying that I could freeze the extra. Whatever. We will also cook a few hot dogs, I will cook a brat for me, and I will make potato salad and open a can of Bush's baked beans. A typical American Fourth of July cookout.
I also bought some cream cheese that was on sale and am making a cheese cake. I will probably eat some, as tomorrow is scheduled to be Carb Day for me so I can celebrate without feeling too guilty.
So far I had
