Weight / Fat loss

many people put on weight without realising, I know, I did, and do almost every christmas! but I managed to lose 2 stone in 3 months by just cutting out bread and pasta, and by drinking 2.5l of water a day, I think the water was the biggest thing,

2.5 litres of water a day is too much if you ask me, unless you are doing some seriously dehydrating activity. 70% of fluid intake is from food anyway, and you only need 6-8 glasses of water on top of that for normal hydration. What is it with all this Volvic water challenge marketing bollocks? Dangerous is what it is - recipe for osteoporosis if you ask me, flushing nutrients right out of your system...
