Not really eating, but drinking. At least in my circle of friends and family, I’m the odd one out.
I drink nearly 2 gallons of ice water per day.
What is your sodium intake like? Are you retaining all of that water?
Do you work at a labor job?
No, I’m retired now, but used to be a software engineer.
Long story short: The main reason I drink so much water is that I was in a bad accident in 2006 that required a knee replacement, I spent nearly a year on my back and gained a ton of wait in that time. As the years went on gained even more, ballooning up to 470 lbs. In Nov of 2019 I finally decided to do something about it. Water was one of the things I used to help me lose the weight, and I was surprised how well it worked. Now I’m down to 260 lbs with a long way still to go before I reach my goal of 180lbs. I still drink a crap ton of water to help feel full and to curb my apatite.
I like shredded cabbage for feeling full for a long time. Various cabbage salads are a lunch go-to.
Wow that is an incredible accomplishment! Good work!
Hell ya dude that’s a feat! Drowning in success (and maybe water) haha
Mention this to your doctor on your visit. Two gallons is a lot of water and you can be too hydrated.
You can be low on electrolytes if you drink too much fresh water. I’m sure at some point in the last seventeen years he’s mentioned it to his doc though.
