An experiment with water

[salamander]

For awhile now, I have had low energy levels, heartburn, inability to lose a few pounds (I'm 175 and need to get to 170), and low endurance when running. I'm going to try and drink nothing but water from today's date to 30 days from now (Nov. 12th) and see if some of my problems cease.

I usually drink koolaid or soda, by the way. Anyone else tried this before?

Are you saying you drink sugary stuff more often than good old plain water any given day?

Yeah, fix that.

I think that's true for a lot of people.

I only drink Pepsi and Full Throttle. Proooobably not the best thing to do.

Soda is poison for your body and sugary drinks in general are pretty terrible.

A lot of people make fun of the guy who orders a super sized value meal and asks for a diet soda but there's a good reason for that. Sugary drinks contain absolutely zero nutritional value and your body doesn't take them into account when it decides it's hungry. You could pound back a 12-pack of coke in a single sitting and that's 30x worse than eating 12 cheeseburgers spread out over a day. Just count how many times the waiter refills your glass on average at a restaurant and realize all those calories are being added to your meal and you can understand how terrible that mess is for you.

Yeah, dude I lost 10lbs in a month cutting soda completely out of my diet and I didn't change my eating or work out habits. I've found a new sin and her name is beer but go for it.

I'm supposed to drink water? Maybe that's why I shot up from 120 to 145 in the past months... (I'm 5'5'' to put things in perspective)

Soda that is my main flaw in my diet.

Water is good for you.

I just buy those little crystal light kind of drink mixes you put in bottled water and pretend I'm being healthy.

Usually those taste like crap.
