How much do you drink...

Postby AkydefGoldberg » Aug 22, '17, 8:56 am

water!

It has been a month or so that I've made a conscious decision to cut down on caffeine at work (one warm brew in the morning is enough) and then having around 1500ml of water throughout the day. I've even thrown in some fruit as a morning snack rather than chocolates and crisps. It's a small journey, I hope, to try and lose weight and eat bit more healthier, especially at work. I'm feeling the benefits and surprising how during the working week, I don't massively feel tempted to grab a soft drink or chocolate. I guess my mind is conditioning itself not to eat junk at work - hopefully!

I regularly take more breaks than I am permitted to take a work to go and grab a quick drink of water.

I don't drink that much at home, but I get through a lot at work. It's a good excuse to get up and stretch the legs every hour or so. I used to drink a lot of coffee at work, but I'm down to 2-3 a week now and I usually drink decaf.

I think I would score pretty highly on this question in the doctor's office, so I'm glad you swerved us and said water. :P

There is one downside to all this water and that's needing a piss frequently. But I do have a morning snack containing melon and strawberries so that's another reason as well.

I'm sticking to coffee in the morning when I get in, but not touching decaf! And even though green tea has its many benefits, not digging the taste of it all.

I drink water pretty much all day long while working, so I'm quite well hydrated!

I wish I could cut down on coffee as well, but I start work at 8am and I can't function properly at such an ungodly hour without it. If it wasn't for my morning brew I'd have been sacked by now.

Somewhere in the British Thread @Daz said that green tea tastes of Treebeard's piss. I've never tried green tea, but Daz's words are all I need to know.

I do find now when I'm tired that I can drink a decaf coffee and it helps perk me up, even without the caffeine. I'm not sure why - it might be a placebo effect, or maybe it's the slightly bitter taste. Adding a bit of sugar helps too. So I do tend to grab a coffee when I'm exhausted in work.

I've never liked green tea, but I do keep a box of rooibos tea at my desk. It's caffeine free, but you can still drink it with milk as god intended.
