Just need to ask

Lately i have been hating the idea of drinking a gallon of water a day, and was wonder if the water i use for my protein shakes, and crystal light count for the gallon of water per day, or does it really have to be straight water all the time.

a gallon of water a day

Only one!?

Seriously, you can probably count it, but why shortchange yourself? Do you really dislike... water?

I have never really liked water, but never really liked soda either, usually i used to drink alot fruit juices. Although i do like water when hot or really thirty but that is about it.

i drink at least 2 gallons a day just always keep a water bottle with you and force yourself to sip it all the time for a few days ... after that you'll do it out of habit and won't even notice

THe water in your shakes does count as a part of your water intake

dude if your not willing to drink water.....I would give up lifting entirely

The easiest way for me to get down 2 gallons is to fill up a gallon jug before bed, and then drink that by around noon. Then i refill the jug and try to finish it around 9. It's a lot easier for me then refilling a water bottle all day long.
