I picked this book up on the “free books list” today, and read it while doing my exercise. It is a short book, but a book with a lot of impact. It is well written, and well structured, but most important is the information she supplies about how she lost all that weight by drinking more water. (By the way, this book is well worth paying for!)She doesn’t say what she ate while losing all that weight, but I gather she ate pretty much the Standard American Diet, but “watered down” (literally) with all that water. She plainly wouldn’t be able to eat as much, but I do know from years past that drinking a lot of water in order to eat less (of the Standard American Diet) left me feeling a lot of hunger. For me, any ‘diet’ I have ever used - whether it is vegan or Paleo - requires I eat plenty of vegetables in order to restrain my hunger - even with water. But, then I never have drank the level of water she is speaking of, at least not around mealtimes or with meals.I grew up with the belief that a person shouldn't drink fluids during a meal because it diluted the digestive juices. But, one of Dr. Oz shows encouraged drinking fluids with meals because otherwise the stomach has a hard time getting the nutrients out of such a thick mass of food. So, Dr. Oz is confirming just what this author spoke of.From now on I will be drinking a lot more water with and around meal-times. Up to this time I have been trying to limit my water consumption during meals to ’no more than 8 ounces’.I have noticed before that at times when I am into drinking a lot of water, that the weight seems to fall off even if I'm not really behaving myself perfectly with food. And, even when I am eating well, that oftentimes the weight doesn't come off so well when I‘m not drinking much water. I was aware of this, but it never really sunk in until I read this book. From here on out I will be making sure to drink my water!I am going to type out the water schedule and amounts she used, and use it as a guideline to get me drinking more water all through the day. Hopefully it will work the magic of removing my excess weight as it did for her.
