Water question?

[tylee72198 10]

Mine said the 30/30 also. They also told us that if you have to have something to sip on during a meal, fill a cup with ice and drink the Water that melts.

That's a great idea, Tylee! I'll have to remember that for when I have something spicy -- sometimes I've HAD to have a sip or two when my mouth is on fire, heheh!

My Dr. also has the 30/30 rule, but I often drink right up until the meal. I don't (aside from the aforementioned sips-with-spicy) drink during, and I always go at least 30 after. I too find that I stay full longer if I can wait longer to drink, so I do try to stretch it to 45 or so if I can.

It's hard, though, especially in this heat, to stay away from my Water bottle. It definitely requires planning. Like I'll eat in the morning before I take my daughter to school, then on the way to the gym I get in at least 500ml or so of Water before working out. Then another 500ml-750ml after working out, but before I have a string cheese or handful of almonds (I prefer to get in that snack within 45 min of working out). That way I'm hydrated AND refueled a bit after my workout. Then I can drink more later, but before lunch.

Any time I can, I'm sipping on water, even through the night --- though it does make me usually have to get up twice to visit the bathroom.... LOL!

I just posted on another thread. My doctor told me that I can drink with meals now.

I am and no problems.

Any one else???????
