You guys don't want that in your system .

If you calculate in pounds, let's say a body weighs 160 pounds, for example, we divide the 160 by 16 that gives you 10. That 10 represents the number of 8-ounce glasses of water daily that a 160-pound person needs. If you were a much heavier person, weighing 240 pounds, when you divide that by 16 that's going to give you 15 glasses. You will say, “But so much water!” Let me tell you, you are not going to drink all that water in once, You take it during the day.

Now, for those of you who are in countries where weights are calculated in kilos, let's do it in kilos. In kilos it would be divided by seven. Let's say you weigh 70 kilograms, so 70 divide by 7 and that gives you 10 glasses again. These 10 glasses are calculated in milliliters, we are talking about 250 milliliter glasses of water, which is the same as 8 ounces, per day. Also know that 10 glasses are generally going to equal 5 bottles. The most common bottles sold on the market are 500 milliliter bottles, or 16 ounces.

It’s funny about how walking and watching what you actually eat does the same thing, you lose weight

Did he say some ppl "need" medication or surgery to lose weight. He is really pushing this concoction which i understand but don't misinform ppl

You don't need this medication, make a real lifestyle change

Obesity is NOT a disease, you can't "catch" obesity it's poor lifestyle choices, Look at any video of the population 40+ years ago and almost NO ONE is obese. I went to the pool today and EVERYONE I saw was obese with the exception of 1 woman who looked pretty fit. I'm 60 and look like a fitness model compared to these people and many are in their early to mid 30s. Lay off the sugar, corn syrup, seed oils and processed carbs, hit the gym and do RESISTANCE training (lift heavy weights) cardio is less effective at weight loss. Learn to do time restrictive eating and do a 24 hour fast every month or so. Or be unhealthy and enjoy limited quality of life and die early.
