Standard nutritional recommendations suggest a minimum of eight, 8-ounce glasses of water per day, a total of 64 ounces.

It’s further indicated to include one glass just before each meal and one during each meal.

 

It’s beneficial to drink considerably more water on this six week diet, Start with 16 glasses per day (128 oz) and then each week add another two glasses.

By the sixth week, you are drinking 26 glasses (2080z) of water a day.

 

Here’s an idea…..get a bottle and put one elastic band around the bottle for each bottle you have to drink. 

When you have drank one bottle….remove one elastic band.
