Weight loss journey is so hard, and sometimes even water intake feels like a big task. I used to really struggle to drink enough. Most people say around 8 glasses, which is about 64 ounces, but my dietician stressed more like 10-12 glasses (80-96 oz) for active people or if you're trying to lose weight. It really does help with fullness and metabolism, so just try to increase it slowly, don't overwhelm yourself.

My mother always tells us to drink plenty of water, saying it cleanses the body. For weight loss, my doctor suggested a minimum of 2.5 to 3 liters, which is roughly 85 to 100 ounces. It helps with digestion and keeps hunger pangs away. Don't force too much at once, just sip throughout the day.

For general well-being and also for weight management, drinking ample water is a good natural remedy. I usually tell people to drink at least 8-10 glasses. If you have any serious underlying health issues or are trying a drastic weight loss plan, please see a doctor. But generally, water helps.

Bro, for weight loss, I just try to drink water all day. Like, minimum 3-4 liters. That's way more than 64 oz. Helps you feel full and boosts your energy for workouts. Just keep a big bottle handy and keep refilling it. Works for me.
