Actually I never drink just water. I don't like it. I drink Crystal Light, or apple juice, or orange juice. Something like that. I could try drinking water but I doubt if I could drink 8 glasses of the stuff. And I do eat after 8 pm. Later into the evening sometime I get a little hungry and I will have a bowl of cereal, or an apple, or a protein shake.

I also have a very hard time with drinkning water....something I found that helps is lemon....and once in awhile I will add a little sugar, or low-cal sweetner. I have found that by doing this, I am drinking about 50% more water than I was before turning the water into lemonade. Some might think the added sugar isn't good, but it isn't nearly as much as even a diet cola. I squeeze half of a lemon into a water bottle, add my sugar, ice and throw in the lemon half, shake it up and go. When it is about 1/2 gone, I add more water....there is no need fore more sugar at this point, there is usually enough flavor left to mix with the new water to make a whole new glass of lemonade. Hope this helps and good luck! I will say that when I was doing this over the past summer, I lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks, just by taking the pop out of my diet and replacing it with lemonade. I think I'm going to try this again myself.
