I’m not actually sure of the reasons myself, but I keep getting the idea that I should only drink water. I tried this before of course, but it’s really hard to quit caffeine suddenly when your daily dose is as high as mine was. I used to drink Coca Cola almost exclusively. Now I have caffeine pills.

I haven’t been taking the caffeine pills in the last few days either. The headaches from caffeine withdrawal seem to have stopped. Oh and food tastes better. More accurately, I have cravings for better food. I still have my cereal with milk, but I hardly consider that a drink.

I was searching the Internet for health benefits of drinking only water and found several articles related to weight loss. Since this isn’t my concern I didn’t read them very thoroughly. Basically it comes down to water having no calories, but filling you up.

I think my reasoning is more about giving my body a pure substance it can use to wash out the gunk. Ironically I read an article which suggested only drinking water makes your kidneys marginally less effective. It did not offer a lot of supporting evidence though.

Well we shall see if this lasts as long as my four months of vegetarianism. Note too anyone trying that: Plan your nutrition first!
