With the talk about drinking water and the recent death of the radio station contestant who died from drinking to much water. I WANTED TO POST THIS FOR ALL TO READ.
Dieters can also get bad advice that they need to drink, drink, drink - and may end up drinking to excess. If you are starting a new diet, let your body and thirst be your guide. Your body really does know how much fluid it needs, and it lets you know by being thirsty - but switch to non-caffeinated drinks such as water. If your urine is dark yellow during the day, you probably need to drink more non-caffeinated liquids such as water. If you find you are drinking so much that you are racing to the bathroom continuously and your urine is so pale it doesn't even look yellow anymore, back off on drinking so much. If you decide to drink a little extra, drink only a cup of water at a time - 8 oz, not the full water bottle, and wait until you feel thirsty
