Is it really necessary to drink two liters a day?
Drinking regime is a rational order of water consumption during the day.
Factors influencing the calculation of the fluid needed by a person:
- Kind of activity;
- age;
- the nature of the work performed;
- state of the body;
- climate.
According to the recommendations of the American National Academy of Sciences, the average daily water intake in drinks and food is 2.7 liters for women and 3.7 liters for men.
To calculate the fluid requirement, use the formula - 30 ml H2O x per 1 kg of weight . In addition, the need for water can be calculated using an indirect method, based on the volume of daily diuresis.
For normal excretion of metabolic products, the kidneys must excrete 0.5 liters of urine daily, which is 65–75% of fluid intake. Thus, the minimum required amount of water per day is 0.8 liters.
Normal diuresis in an adult is 1.2–1.5 liters of urine per day. To replenish, 1.5–2 liters of water is required, including that contained in food and drinks.
What are the results of the Japanese method?
Just a few days after I started drinking water on an empty stomach, I began to feel lighter and lighter, as if I was getting rid of a heavy burden.
Metabolism improved, and the feeling of hunger that made me snack all the time began to disappear. I noticed that I had more strength and energy for everyday activities.
I began to lose weight, in addition to the fact that the feeling of hunger became less pronounced, the digestion processes also began to proceed much faster, energy appeared, and with it the desire to move more actively. All this together helps normalize weight.

The fact that I started drinking water on an empty stomach helped solve some stomach problems - acidity decreased, and with it heartburn and belching. I began to feel more confident after eating, and not be ashamed of the sudden urge of my stomach to give at least some sign of itself.
The condition of my skin has changed. If earlier I looked somewhat older than my age, then with the transition to regular drinking of clean drinking water, my skin became much fresher and I look, if not younger, then certainly not older than I actually am.
The condition of my hair has also changed: if earlier I had to regularly cut off split ends, which did not allow me to grow my hair to the desired length, now there is no need for a haircut - my hair is healthy, naturally shiny and no longer splits as much as it was some time ago.
I stopped having urinary tract infections. Many women know how easy it is to “catch” and how difficult it is to completely cure cystitis that appears from hypothermia or severe stress. So, drinking water on an empty stomach according to the Japanese method is an amazing way to get rid of this problem.
Improvement in immunity was also not long in coming. Since the Japanese water technique became my constant companion, I stopped regularly catching colds, walking around with a runny nose and a hoarse voice.

What will happen if you do this every day?
Compliance with the drinking regime is considered as a modern panacea, a cure for old age and wrinkles, and an effective means for losing weight.
What happens to the body:
Activation of metabolic processes - when drinking 2 glasses of water, the metabolic rate increases by 30% within half an hour. The functioning of the digestive system is stabilized.- The production of the lipase enzyme increases - it is involved in the breakdown and excretion of fats. A necessary condition for its production is sufficient consumption of water.
- Prevention of dehydration - with a lack of water, fatigue increases, metabolic products begin to linger in the body.
- Swelling and bags under the eyes - one of the reasons for their formation is lack of water. The body reduces the amount of urine excreted, and water begins to be reabsorbed in the kidneys. The result is swelling. Sufficient consumption reduces the likelihood of its retention in tissues.
- The likelihood of developing urolithiasis is reduced - normalization of diuresis helps eliminate oxalates and urates, which cause the formation of kidney stones.
- The frequency of cystitis and other inflammatory processes in the urinary system decreases.
- Defecation is restored, since a common cause of stool compaction is precisely the lack of water in the body.
Water against a “dirty” body
The book stated that simple, clean water renews the cells of the body and cleanses it. Water passing through the kidneys washes away sand and over time crushes stones.
As proof, the book gave the example of a “dirty plate.” They say that if the plate is not washed after eating for many years, hardened formations will form. The same thing happens to the body - toxins clog the pores and blood vessels, hence all the diseases.

In addition, the healer advised drinking water exclusively before meals. This helps reduce appetite. And if you eat less, you “dirty” your body less.
What is the best H2O to consume?
To prevent dehydration and normal functioning of the body, you should drink clean fresh water with a mineralization of no more than 1 g of salts per 1 liter of water.
This category includes:
- purified bottled water;
- table mineral waters with mineralization up to 1g/1l;
- artesian waters;
- tap water that meets hygienic standards;
- fresh carbonated water, except for patients with gastrointestinal diseases.
Mineral waters containing impurities of more than 1 g/1 l are classified as medicinal and medicinal table solutions. They are used as prescribed by a doctor for a short course.
Therefore, it is not advisable to use them daily to replenish water in the body. They can do more harm than good.
I started drinking and didn’t know how to stop
So I decided that I should drink water constantly and in as much volume as possible. Sometimes, instead of the recommended two liters, I drank three liters and felt like a winner.
The process of self-purification seemed to have begun, but somehow not as promised in the book. No stones or sand came out of the body, and there was no bad smell after using the toilet, which was supposed to indicate liberation from certain toxins. Therefore, I continued to drink water with particular persistence, waiting for all these signs.
Precautions and Limitations
Two liters of water per day is a general average. For calculation, use a formula that takes into account body weight .
A man weighing 80 kg requires 2.4 liters of water per day. A girl weighing 55 kg needs only 1.65 liters of water per day.
If they play sports or work physically, then their daily dose will increase.
Exceeding dosages will cause sodium ions to be washed out of the body. This will lead to nausea, weakness, headaches, and a general deterioration in the body's condition. In severe cases, cerebral edema develops.
Patients with various kidney and heart diseases and pregnant women should use H2O with caution . The drinking regime in this case is developed by the doctor. Violation of its recommendations increases the risk of complications.
Water diet - reviews
Greetings, dear readers of Irecommend.ru!
I continue to write about the essential components of successful weight loss. In my review about calorie counting
you can look at more detailed photos and read HOW I lost weight.
Here I am inserting only one photo with a difference of 2 weeks: the period when I ate completely wrong (without drinking a single glass of clean water) - and...
period when excess weight is almost gone. Without water, my dears, neither here nor there! Remember one of the most important rules of losing weight!
In order to make the review less monotonous, I will make a small list of questions that arise for me personally at the very beginning of my journey:
1) How much water should you drink so that your body does not need it?
Some people advise drinking at least 1.5 liters of water a day, and some nutritionists advise all 3. I personally adhere to this formula: 30 grams of water * your weight in kilograms is the required minimum. My current weight is 52 kg, therefore the MINIMUM water that should enter my body is 1560 ml. But today I drink a little more - when I want and when it turns out
In summer, naturally, the figure should be maximum. But you shouldn’t approach this issue with excessive fanaticism, they say, the more I drink, the more weight I’ll lose!!! Everything should be in moderation! 5-6 liters of water is already too much for many! Don’t force your kidneys to pray for mercy, take care of your body!))
Rule 1.
Without putting it off until tomorrow, count right now how much water you need to drink. Read below about how to drink if you can’t handle it (who hasn’t done this before), about WHAT to drink.
2) How to force yourself to drink? I am writing this paragraph for those who previously drank either very little or did not drink clean water at all. PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE ONLY ABOUT ORDINARY CLEAN WATER!
I’ll be honest: if you didn’t drink much before “X”, it might be a little hard at first. The water seems tasteless (not tea and cookies, yes), the water doesn’t flow, drinking a glass or two is an impossible task. BUT! This is just the first few days, believe me! Then you will get used to it, and very quickly. You can start with at least 1 liter of water per day (for me in the first 2 days this was a lot, it seemed like there was no room for water at all). In the first days, it is important to understand not only HOW MUCH to drink, but also HOW to drink! I'll tell you about this too
Rule 2.
Our main task is to ensure that the correct drinking regime is established automatically. Let water become a habit that no circumstances can change!
3) When exactly and in what volumes should you drink water?
It is clear that you need to drink water throughout the day. But if you somehow pour a liter bottle of water into yourself in the morning, and then curse yourself all day for every 5-minute run to the toilet - this is completely wrong. You need to drink in small portions. The first intake of water is 1-2 glasses (I have 200 ml) on an empty stomach! This is necessary in order to awaken the body and start the metabolic process. This was probably the most unusual thing for me
But the first step is the most important! You can’t skip it even if you definitely have coffee/tea for breakfast. We drank, waited at least 15-20 minutes - then you can have a full breakfast. Then, before each meal, we should also drink a glass or two of water (as much as anyone can fit and want). You should also drink 15-30 minutes BEFORE meals. You can't drink after eating! Many sites advise that you can drink only 2 hours after eating. I try to adhere to this rule, but sometimes I break it due to a certain rhythm of life or a banal desire to quench my thirst. In this case, I drink about 40 minutes after eating. At least half a glass)
Rule 3.
We drink water, observing the correct time. We drink throughout the day in small portions of 200-300 ml.
4) Is it possible to replace water with some other liquids?
Here the answer is clear: no, no and no again. Juices, coffee, milk and even unsweetened green tea are no longer water. Water is the only liquid that you should drink as part of your drinking regime. Why? Firstly, because water contains no calories. And not only calories, but also sugar (as in juices), fat (as in milk), protein (as in milk and other dairy products). Why not tea? Tea contains special tannins, which just cause a feeling of thirst, having an astringent effect. Tea, especially green tea, is very good. But tea is not water. We drink only the simplest water!!! Sometimes I can substitute sparkling drinking water (usually Bonaqua) for pure still drinking water - but this is very rare.
Rule 4.
Water is water. And don’t even hope to replace it with anything! We drink only in its pure form.
5) Drink water - fat goes away. Is it true?
I’ll say right away: if you weigh more than 70 kg, then at first the weight will fly off quite well even without adding good physical activity. BUT! Fat is lost the slowest, so you will lose weight mainly due to the loss of UNNECESSARY accumulated fluid. If there is a lot of excess weight, then in the first couple, in principle, it is not so important what goes away: your volume will decrease, your body will become more toned. Water also perfectly removes excess salt, which in turn also retains fluid and prevents you from losing weight. If you have a little excess weight, then burning FAT with water is unrealistic. Another thing is that fat burns during physical activity only if metabolism is good. And if you can’t boast of one, then water is the best helper! That is, in the end, WATER helps you LOSE WEIGHT! No matter what weight class you are in
To prove that all the information was taken not only from my head, but also tested from personal experience, I present you with a photo. The difference is only 2 weeks - the result, as they say, is obvious! Initial weight: 55 kg. Weight after: 52 kg. Weight loss continues Please note that the result of such weight loss in a short period of time is a complex: calorie counting, maintaining a water regime and DAILY physical exercise! I will also talk about them in detail in the reviews.
Well, I think I’ve told you everything, but if you have any questions, write in the comments! I will try to answer as quickly as possible!
I suggest you read a few more reviews, in which I also describe in detail all my weight loss secrets with photographs: (for now I will be adding to the list almost daily)

Reviews
Reviews about the state of orgasm against the background of compliance with the drinking regime are mostly positive.
Many note weight loss, normalization of the urinary system , lightness and increased performance.
But at the same time, some complained that they did not notice an improvement in the condition of their hair and skin. There are no negative reviews. But all users noted that the amount of water was calculated using a formula based on body weight. Reviews can be found here, here and here.

Decided to drink water
By the age of 30, I decided that it was time to quit my unhealthy lifestyle. To begin with, I gave up all bad habits and began to plan a major cleansing of the entire body from waste and toxins.
But I didn’t really understand how to do this. Therefore, I first studied the “material parts” on the Internet, and then found a book from 1996 from a famous healer and TV presenter and decided to trust it.
In the book, I especially liked the advice to drink two liters of plain water a day, not counting coffee and tea. And I started pouring myself a bottle every day!
