6 Weeks of only Drinking Water.

[Shane]

Right I went 6 weeks of not having any Chocolate for Lent so I figured I can do this.

I am going to go 6 weeks of only Drinking Water from this Friday.
It's not just strictly water, still need calcium so I will be having some milk on my Cereal, but I don't really class that as a drink. ;) And thats only a few times a week.

Anyway I reckon this should help out alot with problems such as Acne and I am going to keep you all updated on the effects. :P

Just wanted to know if this will have any effects on me such as going to the toilet more or my head falling off? :S

[Ben]

lol...

[~Wayne~]

Whoa, sounds a challenge :P

[Shane]

lol...
Why laugh? You laugh at everything. It's right annoying.
And it is going to be a challenge, that's why I am doing it. :P

[Ben]

lol yeh. you just amuse me by coming out with stuff like that...

so characteristically of you, these things shouldnt come as a surprise!

[NATAL!E]

Just make sure you don't drink too much water.
You can actually kill yourself by drinking overload amounts..

[Brianna.]

You'd have to drink like....20 gallons a day to do that...haha.



I go weeks on end where all I drink is water. You'll have to piss alot, but other than that i'll help with acne, and it'll help you lose weight.

[Ben]

danny's going along with this too now. (danny from sheffield parkour)

[Shane]

danny's going along with this too now. (danny from sheffield parkour)
Looks like me and Danny are going to postpone this actually. Been doing it all day so far then my mate points out that we are buying shit loads of Bozze for a Party tomorrow. :\
Danny is going too so it's still fair.

[Ben]

[Shane]

Yeah, LOL.
We all forgot about the damned party. :/ I think we are now going to start on Monday.

[Ben]

my exams start in one month...it'll be good for me with all the water, but i could do with not running an experiment on my body at the time lol, and i could use the morning coffee...

[Shane]

Only Milk on your Cereal. No morning Coffee but you could always have a Caffiene Pill. :P

[Ben]

[Wen1992]

Support you, but anything bad( not i'm saying that something bad is going to happen and it's a bad idea) ever happens to you I had nothing to do with it.

[Sponge'K'nob]

haha thats ace. i have a lot of water at work anyway, cos thats the only thing were allowd to drink. but i couldn't go without a coffee or a glass of diet coke once in a while.
I gave up on alcohol anyway for about 4 weeks (until last night) but i decided i liked it better not drinkin!
Good luck to u lot who are doing this anyway.

[Stephanie]

I gave up on alcohol anyway for about 4 weeks (until last night) but i decided i liked it better not drinkin!

Why'd you give up alcohol and how could you like it better not drinking??

Can't imagine how I'd cope without getting a little pissed once in a while. Sad, really.

As for the water experiment, I only drink water anyway..and milk and occasional alcohol when a party comes along but mainly always just water.

Good luck to all of you who are doing it. I find that it makes you feel a lot more happy, healthy and energised all the time. But then again, that could just be the exercise..I don't know. Either way, water's great for ya! :)

[Sponge'K'nob]

I think i had a bit of a problem with alcohol actually. i couldn't go 2 days with out anything. thats waht you call sad.
it was horrible. i hated every minute of it.
i supose gettin drunk once in a while is ok. but not every friday nearly paralised and the odd day in the pub in the week. it ruins your life.

[Pearson]

I hajve started my diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUJKINB RILLIENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stephanie]

How old were you when you started drinking? They say that the earlier you start drinking/smoking the more likely you are to become addicted to it. I started when I was 14 and I wouldn't say I am addicted but I do enjoy getting pissed a little too much.

Was it really hard to stop???

Ive drank for years, as long as I can remember, only like with parents though and new years eve and stuff.
But in the past 18 months I went a bit mad, and the last 6 months crazy with going to pub. My 2 local ones seen as we can actually get served in them haha.
Never drank on streets or anything, i know of people that have but i didn't want to get into that situation.
I could never be addicted to smoking.
Wasn't hard to stop drinking, i did it for about 4 weeks, then i drank on friday and felt really bad for it, maybe i had too much after havin none at all.
Its okay to have a few drinks, but im not going to do that all the time and get sucked back into the whole. Im happy the way i am at the moment, i think i drank because it gave me confidance, i lack a lot of that. now im babling....

[Mamfy]

I never get pissed and barely drink alcohol. i don't really like it to be honest.

I'm hooked on apple juice, lik and RIBENA :D

[Sponge'K'nob]

yeh im addicted to ribena and robinsons orange juice these days, i used to drink a lot of fizzy pop but last 2 weeks ive changed loads.

[-Snake-]

I can go without drinking for a while, like the last week and a half, but thats mainly beacuse I well over did it and ended up in a strangers house. I love to go clubbing and drinking I like to get very merry or drunk but when I get paraletic I kinda feel bad that I over did it. Saying that it takes alot for me to get pissed lol

Monday GATECRASHER!!! woo :P

[Shane]

Anyway. Most of us started our 'Water Diet' yesterday Dinnertime. It ends Mid-June and I am going to try and go till July. :P :D - Yeah that's right, I'm bad. :P

Ah good, i'm not the only one addicted to that stuff then :D

[LukeEv_17]

[Mamfy]

I hate dr pepper

It doesn't taste like adrink lol

[Shane]

Dr. pepper rules. First drink i'll buy after this. :P

[Sponge'K'nob]

dr pepper is ok but i will agree with mamf, its not the best drink in the world!

[Riccardo]

i love dr pepper but i can't drink it because it gives me head aches almost instantly!

I am really craving coca cola or some marks and spencers chocolate milkshake right now but i can't have any for after 5 and a bit weeks! :(

[Chris]

i love dr pepper but i can't drink it because it gives me head aches almost instantly!

I used to get that with Dr P and Coke when i was little, it had something to do with the Caffeine and Phenyline (dont know how its spelt) in the drink. I've outgrown it though as it doesnt happen anymore, thank god! lol

[Ben]

i started my 'just water - no milk or coffee' (except milk on cereal) thing yesterday morning. i've done 2 full days of no coffee, fizzy drinks, glasses of milk etc - juts water. i'm finding it really easy at the moment, just because there isn't any coke or whatever that i could go and drink at the moment. that'll be there hardest when we have some in the fridge and my brother has the lot to himself

good luck shane

[Stephanie]

dr pepper doesn't taste like adrink lol

Too true. It takes like medicine!!

[Brianna.]

Dr. pepper rules. First drink i'll buy after this. :P


Eww. Mountain Dew is better.

[Tim]

I hate dr pepper

It doesn't taste like adrink lol

Dr pepper is the 1st thing i'll drink after my 6 weeks of water.

[Ben]

lol bri and your crazy american food and drink products...froot loops, mountain dew and root beer lol

dr pepper sucks ass

day 3 complete. i bought a coke by mistake earlier...wasn't thinking, i gave it to will instead lol

[Brianna.]

Hey. Don't diss fruit loops or mountain dew.



Rootbeer is gross.

[Riccardo]

lol bri and your crazy american food and drink products...froot loops, mountain dew and root beer lol

LMAO, that was hilarious when you walked out and realised you couldn't drink it! good job you didnt buy loads like you were gonna!

Yeah don't "diss" Mountain Dew! its great!

[Pearson]

I could do this very easily. Infact all I really drink is water or orange juice. I couldnt do it for 6 weeks cos Id end up going out and Id look a reyt pillock sat in a bar with a pint of water. But yer, generally all I drink is water or diluted orange juice.

[Ben]

not dissing your juices bri, just saying youre a crazy american. lol

root beer = liquid toothpaste

moutain dew = lemonade

[Brianna.]

Mountain Dew is NOT lemonade. It tastes alot different. Have you ever had it?

[Riccardo]

Its nothing like lemonade, its more like sprite if anything

[Guest]

I dont drink anything BUT water and a bit of OJ
Never drink soft drink, but its normal for me to be like this.
Seems like alot of you guys struggle with just drinking water :D

[Foo]

You would be SO surprised to see the health you are in if you only drank water.
I dont like soda anyway, but I know it would also ruin my health.

[Tim]

i had fruit loops when i went on holiday to orlando. they are absolutely disgusting.

[LukeEv_17]

I might try a week and see how it goes lol

[Tim]

day 5 now and am copin quite well. hows every1 doin?

[Chris]

I'm going to buy you a bottle of Pepsi this afternoon Tim, hehe, just messing, Good luck to you all. :)

[LukeEv_17]

I'll start monday maybee

[~Wayne~]

It having any positive effcts?

[Stephanie]

Its nothing like lemonade, its more like sprite if anything

Mountain Dew AND Sprite BOTH taste like lemonade peoples! :P

[Ben]

Mountain Dew is NOT lemonade. It tastes alot different. Have you ever had it?

haha i just realized i never have...
i guess i just always thought it was like lemonade...

ricky, sprite is branded lemonade

day 4, no problems. it's going well lol

[Tim]

day 6. startin to feel depressed. don't no if its lack of sugar or most probably because i've got exams in under a month:( :puke:

[Ben]

day 6. i feel fine, been eating fruit today too. i was a bit miffed earlier when i realized my mom bought like 2 bottles of pepsi max and my brother will get to drink it all.

i can keep this up for 6 weeks, and after that i'll probably just try to keep it down with the coke and stuff and drink more water.

Come on youth its not exactly hard! what are you doing all this 'Day 6, I feel fine for' Course you going to feel fine, your drinking fukin water all day, your hardly doing a supersize me are you? and its not like your missing something that your going to have a massive craving for! your not going to wake up in the middle of the night because you havent had any pepsi are you! The only way i could see this task being remotely hard is if you go out drinking, turning down a pint when everyones getting a bit merry. Bleeding Hell anyone would think your giving up smoking or summet the way your going on about it.

[Tim]

if u drank the amount of crap i usually drink you'd understand

[Mamfy]

Mountain dew is teh sex Bri!

I love it :D

[Chris]

I didnt think they made Mountain Dew over here?

[Mamfy]

They don'#t but I had it when I went to America in February :D

[Ben]

Come on youth its not exactly hard! what are you doing all this 'Day 6, I feel fine for' Course you going to feel fine, your drinking fukin water all day, your hardly doing a supersize me are you? and its not like your missing something that your going to have a massive craving for! your not going to wake up in the middle of the night because you havent had any pepsi are you!

Bleeding Hell anyone would think your giving up smoking or summet the way your going on about it.

haha! you always go on at me for taking things too seriously, i'm only joking when i'm saying all that day 6 crap like a soppy video dairy for some fat woman on a diet on some crappy ITV reality TV program.

anyway, i would find giving up drinking for the nighyt while all my mates are drinking much easier than trying to avoid pouring myself a coke by mistake lol

i'm not craving for anything, i've just decided to stop drinking other stuff for a while. it's not like quitting smoking, i'm obvioulsy not in pain from not having a coke.

[Mamfy]

ISn't it a bit of a bad idea because you get things like calcium from milk and vitamins from fruit juices and what not?

Are you able to get these things elsewhere?

[Ben]

i'm eating more fruit. what can i substitute for milk??

[Sponge'K'nob]

you can get calcuim tablets and stuff like that from chemists or boots or something.

[Ben]

well i'd rather get it from food than tablets. any ideas?

[Pearson]

Bone contains alot of calcium, if you dont fancy eating bone then Wholemeal Bread has a lot of calcium, so do figs, almunds and brazil nuts.

[Sponge'K'nob]

"Good sources of calcium include dairy foods and leafy green vegetables, although calcium from milk and milk products is more easily absorbed and present in greater amounts."
"Good sources of calcium
Good dietary sources of calcium include:

Milk and milk products – milk, yoghurt, cheese and buttermilk. One cup of milk or a 200g tub of yoghurt provides around 300mg calcium.
Leafy green vegetables – broccoli, collards, bok choy, Chinese cabbage and spinach. One cup of cooked spinach contains 100mg. One cup of cooked broccoli contains about 45mg.
Soy and tofu – tofu (depending on type) or tempeh and calcium fortified soy drinks.
Fish – sardines and salmon (with bones). Half a cup of canned salmon contains 402mg of calcium.
Nuts and seeds – brazil nuts, almonds and sesame seed paste (tahini). Fifteen almonds contain about 40mg of calcium."

there you go lol.

[Ben]

cheers kaye and perason. and nah i don't fancy eating bone. (this could bring a whole new meaning to the term 'spare ribs')

can't drink milk so that's off
nuts sounds good, i'll eat lots of nuts
i'll get my mom to buy some sunflower seeds too, they're cool
don't eat that sort of vegetable really, i'll have a think through my options
don't eat any seafood. full stop.
not sure what you mean by soy or tofu. i can't drink soy sauce, just water lol.

ooh i need cod liver oil tablets, we have those - i normally take them anyway

[Shane]

I take Calcium tabets and Tablets for every other Vitamin anyway. Have done for a few years. Dunno why but that should cover the milk I aint getting. :P

Been doing this for a week and a day now. Skin is starting to feel a little softer. :/

[Tim]

feelin ill, got a cold [how?], am i allowed to drink medical fluids e.g. honey and lemon. cause if not am stopping it

[Tim]

i have had to drink a honey and lemon drink, i am to ill :puke: :( . will though continue with water, after recovery

[Ben]

ok i got real bad stomach cramps the last 2 days and ive had a pain in my kidneys, i've been drinking too much water and it's killing me. i'm adding milk to my 'allow list' abut still carrying on with it. just milk and water now. not having anything else to drink for the remaining 5 weeks.

[Shane]

Sounds like crap to me. I am still on water. Only 4 weeks to go now. :P woompa. :P


Gonna go start a thread on the next 6 week challenge. :P

[Tim]

what will that be then?

[Shane]

See the 6 weeks of no grease thread. ;)

[Black_phoenix]

shane have you finished it yet, luke

[~Wayne~]

Im starting to cut out fizzy drinks, realised its about time I had some self control and stopped :D

[Ben]

the 6 weeks is over. i duno if shane is back on fizzy drinks yet, but i'm not, it's been about 8 weeks now, i'm feeling great and glad i went for it. i'm keeping this up for a while too. just whenever i feel like i wana give it in and drink something else.

[Mamfy]

I am off chocolate now LOL

Bit late :P

[me1]

i hardly ever eat chocolate

[~Wayne~]

I went to order a meal today, sat down and realised I' ordered coke, strange how I didnt realise at all! Didbt drink it tho ;)

[Ben]

gdgd lol

i bought a coke once lol when i just started it, was well annoyed that i had nothing to drink, i gave it to will.

[Black_phoenix]

I think i am gonna start it today, i dont have any partys planned for a while so it wont really be that differant to me, because i mainly drink water anyway,Ben are you at gym 2nite Lil luke

[Ben]

Luke? Which Luke?

[~Wayne~]

I'm not drinkin water as a strict thing too much, if a partys there I'll go and have a good time but after that I'll get straight back to it ;)

[Black_phoenix]

lil luke the one who lives next to cardo

[Ben]

Oh, that one...

[~Wayne~]

This whole no fizzy pop thing aint as bad as I thought! Although it woulda probably been worse if I was at college but its much easier than I first thought.

[lana loo]

i dont think i could drink ONLI water for 6 weeks...... i think ad die from not having Ribena in my system... im addicted!! :p

[Mamfy]

Well, I now take a bottle of water to school instead of juice. 75cl of it for lunch is good. It sounds a lot but it goes so quickly :)

[lana loo]

nah cant stand drinkin water all the time. i love it,i drink the recommended 2 litres a day (i think its tht anyway) but i cant live without my Ribena. ive been addicted for about 5 month now and i dont think i could live without it!! lol

[lana loo]

[~Wayne~]

I used to drink strange amounts of energy drinks and aint got a craving for it at all. I ain't just drinking plain water, flavoured water and orange juice etc. Anything to get off stuff like Pepsi

[Black_phoenix]

i have started the water challenge not been doing it for long but im still going strong, i`ll try to keep everyone updated it sort of reminds me of 40 days and 40 nights but without the sex...

[Lenny]

i would like to give up something for that long.. but .. shoot i don't know if i could do it.. i guess i could if i really put my mind to it good luck!

[mandude]

I drank nothing but water for the whole summer. Me and my cousin walked a few miles into the forest near his house and drank it from the stream every day. Now I'm here in the city and water isn't so good anymore. :(

I <3 water!

[Matty]

I would highly recommend drinking water other than anything else like soda or juices, which is made up of loads of sugar which is bad for ya. Your body is made up of 70% water. You need water to hydrate yourself. I've heard this around town but the best way to determine how much water you should drink per day is to take your body weight and divide by two. This number gives you the amount of water in ounces you should drink. So lets say you weigh 200 pounds. You should drink 100 ounces of water per day. I don't know what that works out to be maybe just over 2 litres. I try to drink 3 litres a day, just because of my activity level it makes more room for more water.

10 Reasons why drinking water is good for you
1. Get healthy skin. Drinking water moisturizes your skin from the inside out. Water is essential to maintaining elasticity and suppleness and helps prevent dryness. (Which will help with the ance you were talking about Shane.)


2. Lose weight. Increased water consumption can help you control weight by preventing you from confusing hunger with thirst. Water will also keep your body systems working properly, including metabolism and digestion, and give you the energy (and hydration) necessary for exercise. (Drink water if you are hungry, it will help you lose weight.)


3. Flush toxins. By helping to flush toxins, appropriate water intake lessens the burden on your kidneys and liver. (You'll notice you will have to use the restroom about twice as much as you normally would for about the first week until your body starts to function with the larger intake of water. Once your bladder adapts, you will be able to make less visits to the toilet :))


4. Reduce your risk of a heart attack. Researchers at Loma Linda University in California studied more than 20,000 healthy men and women and found that people who drink more than five glasses of water a day were less likely to die from a heart attack or heart disease than those who drank fewer than two glasses a day. (Helps with blood flow and blood clogs.)


5. Cushion and lube your joints and muscles. Water makes up a large part of the fluid that lubricates and cushions your joints and muscles. Drinking water before, during, and after exercise can also help reduce muscle cramping and premature fatigue. (This is soooo important to drin kwater when you exercise. Before and after! I usually drink half a litre before I workout, and half a litre while I work out, and half a litre after I work out, plus orange juice with my protein powder after.)


6. Stay regular. Water helps prevent constipation by adding fluid to the colon and bulk to stools, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass.


7. Stay hydrated, get energized, and be alert. On average, most adults lose about 10 cups of fluid a day through sweating, exhaling, urinating, and bowel movements. Even minor dehydration can cause impaired concentration, headaches, irritability, and fatigue. (So continually drink it throughout the day. Don't just be like oh well I'm going to try to drink my 2 litres before noon. NO. Rule of thumb, don't drink 3 hours before you goto bed, this way if there is excess in your bladder, it will pass through before you hit the sack.)



8. Regulate your body temperature. Perspiration is your body's natural mechanism to control body temperature. And to sweat, you need plenty of water.


9. Reduce your risk of disease and infection Water can help prevent kidney stones and reduce your chances of getting bladder, kidney, and urinary tract infections. One study found that women who drank more than five glasses of water a day had a risk of colon cancer that was 45 percent less than those who drank two or fewer glasses a day. (My sister for examples doesn't eat or drink the right kinds of food and beverages. She just had her bladder scopes because of major pains throughout her teenage life, and it's simple because she is not drinking water. Therefore she cannot flush the infections out or prevent them! She's dumb like that.)


10. Get well. The traditional prescription to "drink plenty of fluids" when you're sick still holds strong. Water can help control a fever, replace lost fluids, and thin out mucus.



Simply put, drink as much of it as you can handle. Just buy a bottle of water, and keep refilling it all day!
