If you don't like water and have a hard time drinking it start out slow, I used to hate water, and now I drink it all the time. What I did was keep a 3 oz. bathroom glass in the kitchen, and everytime I went into the kitchen I made myself drink at least 3 oz. of water, eventually I started drinking more and more.

When I first started drinking water it was hard because the taste was bland. I added lemon slices to the water to flavor it. Now drinking water is a habit. Lime and orange slices are good too!

Of all of the tips I learned while losing weight, drinking my water at room temp was the most life-changing for me! I had been sipping my cold water all day until I discovered (learned from a seasoned dieter) that if I drink my water at room temp I could gulp it down in seconds. 2 litres of water has been a minimum of water intake for me since then...for the last 2 years...and it is EASY.
