Comments on: Going natural… http://patchworkpsychology.com/2007/08/01/going-natural/ The fabric forming the folds of a Hoss-brain Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:09:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Nate Nelson http://patchworkpsychology.com/2007/08/01/going-natural/comment-page-1/#comment-131 Nate Nelson Sun, 05 Aug 2007 16:37:08 +0000 http://patchworkpsychology.com/?p=38#comment-131 I've been doing a bit of changing in my habits myself. I've cut back on the soda thing quite a bit. But when I go out with friends or go to parties there isn't much option so I still indulge at those times. I'm drinking about 8 liters of water per day, which is about 2.1 gallons. Since I started the water upgrade the pounds have been melting off. There's something about water helping your metabolism work, there's something about your body telling you it is hungry when in reality it's thirsty, and there's something to be said for the space that water takes up in your stomach so you don't eat so much. I've lost 41 lbs so far and I'm feeling a lot better (physically and mentally). Diet-wise I haven't changed a whole lot. I pretty much eat the same things but I've noticed that I don't pound down as much quantity because there isn't that much room in my stomach if I drink two pint glasses of water before I eat ;) Funny how old friends make the same discoveries at the same time.

(sorry blogger). Also, I am certainly too afraid to not wear deodorant (antiperspirant)... even if the aluminum is going to give me alzheimer's. But seriously that is really cool that you are taking a look at your lifestyle... or at least following a healthy trend.
