Alright, lets do this. The average person is made up of approximately 60% water. In other words, water is essential to Living Lean. It keeps your body functioning, it gets rid of waste, and it can help control appetite.
How Much Water Should I Drink In A Day?
Depending on your climate and activity level, to properly stay hydrated, I often recommend people drink at least 3 liters of water a day (in most cases more).
How Do I Know If I’m Properly Hydrated?
Here’s a quick test to see if you’re properly hydrated…next time you’re taking a leak, if your urine is clear and odourless, you’re probably on the right track. If it’s really yellow and smells, drink more water.
Here Are 5 Ways to Drink More Water:
#1. Buy A Big BPA-Free Re-usable Water Bottle:
If your bottle is 1 liter, keep it filled with water, then once it’s empty, refill it 3 more times if your goal is 4 liters a day. Now you know you hit your goal. By knowing how much water your re-usable bottle holds, you’ll have a visual reminder of how much water you need to drink throughout the day.
#2. Keep Your Water Bottle With You:
Bring your water bottle to the office and keep it on top of your desk so it’s always within sight. Also bring it to the gym so you don’t have to waste time walking back and forth to the water fountain.
#3. Add Natural Flavor:
I personally love the refreshing taste of water. But if you need more taste, DO NOT use those artificial sweetener options.
I recommend adding a few natural flavoring ingredients like: cucumber slices, ginger slices, fruit like berries, apples, watermelon, and oranges, cinnamon sticks, mint, basil, lime, and of course I love my lemon water.
Fill your re-usable jug the night before to allow the flavors to really come alive. Then simply leave the ingredients in your bottle all day as you keep refilling to hit your water goals. Then throw out the ingredients at the end of the day, wash your bottle, then repeat the next day.
4 Water Flavoring Recipes Using Natural Flavoring Ingredients
1. 2 cucumber slices (thick), 2 ginger root slices (thick), and a handful of frozen berries
2. Handful frozen or fresh raspberries, peeled lime (thick slice) and a few basil leaves (large)
3. 2 apple slices (thick) and ½ cinnamon stick
4. 2 ginger root slices (thick), peeled lemon or lime (thick slice), and mint leaves (a stem)
#4. Set Up a Timer In Your Smart Phone
This will help remind you to get chugging.
#5. Make A Pact to Drink One Before Meals:
Drink a glass of water before every snack and meal throughout the day. It’ll help keep you feeling fuller, faster. In fact, a lot of times when people think they’re hungry, they just need more hydration.
Bottom line
If drinking 3-4 liters of water a day sounds crazy…start slow. Try adding in one extra glass a day for a week. Then increase it to 2 extra glasses a day the next week. You get the point.
Living Lean is about making progress. Not perfection.

You should not drink to much water, in fact some have died drinking to much
water according to the newspaper. water depend on you ,a labour working on
the hot sun may drink 10 liter of water but a computer engineer who work in
air-condition environment drink less. only drink water when you are
thirsty..
definitely not enough. i weight 365 and i only drink like 3 20oz bottles a
day.
I drink 1 cup per day 🙁
Giggles. One shot it looked like too. Great video.
Hi +Brad Gouthro I want to get rid of love handles can you help me ?
I estimate I drink about 4-5 cups…but I wanna know is it bad to drink
while eating a meal? Is it better to drink before or after eating a meal?
is rice flour a good alternative to wheat?

thanks man!
3,5-4 liters
3.5-4 litres 🙂 My pee is always crystal clear haha.
what about my kidneys? can they process such amount of water?
3.5 litres
6,5l
I try to drink a minimum of 2 liters, but some days it’s a lot easier than others. I also drink about 1.2 liters of green tea, and my protein shake has water in it. Do those count?
Nice!!! Thanks
16 glasses a day ,plus my 2 green teas and 1cup of coffee before my workout
…
I have a water bottle and drink it 4-5 times a day
Regarding the glass of water before every meal, I remember reading
somewhere that drinking a big glass of water before a meal can wash away
some of the stomach acids that digest your food making your body less
efficient at digesting the meal. Any truth behind that?
damn….I always look at my urine to test if I’m hydrated enough, you stole
that 😀
1st to post. Love your channel Brad. You have a lot of knowledge. Been
living lean for 3 months now.
How much water do you drink per day? I drink at least 4 liters.
