Good idea Jabber. I believe I have herd some dieticians say that it is actually better to drink the water BEFORE each of the 3 meals. That way, it helps you begin to feel more full, and thus eat less.

I'm not too fond of drinking plain water. I drink a pot of "half caf" coffee each day, and my doctor says that counts toward my desired fluid intake. In addition, I find the water more palatable if it is ice-water and contains a slice of lemon, lime -- or even a squirt of unsweetened lemon or lime juice.

As long as I make and drink the 6-8 cup pots of "coffee," I actually drink my fluids all day long.
