Drink only Water for a Week

“I begrudgingly fill up my water bottle and head back to my desk with tired eyes. It’s only 30 minutes into the work day and I cannot focus for the life of me. Why on earth did I start this challenge on a TUESDAY and not over the weekend? I spend the rest of the day exhausted and walking around feeling like I’m in a fog. Luckily, I avoided horrible caffeine withdrawal headaches because of the ibuprofen that was helping me get through my period cramps. I’m taking more trips to the bathroom than the kitchen now. I noticed that I’m eating more snacks throughout the day.”

“Being on water for a week now I must say - this is very strange but very rejuvenating. It feels as if I unlocked a secret treasure. Blood glucose went down (I did not change anything in my eating as I am sugarfree anyway). Sleep is improving several folds. My deep sleep which was ranging 20-40 minutes in the beginning of the journey is now more than 1 hour. I do not need to wake up to go to pee anymore. I am more relaxed. I have more time. [...] It is weird to drink only water. But it is also very simple. One day I decided to add organic ginger tea bag to my water with lemon slice in the morning and I didn’t particularly enjoy it. Taste buds became very sensitive and for the first time I tasted a paper bag more than ginger. It was strange.”
