I drink at least 4 liters of water per day.

How long until i will notice the positive effects of this?

I was reading that you should take your body weight in pounds and divide it by 2. The resulting number is the amount of water you should drink in ounces every day. That is all. Oh, I drink probably 90-100 oz

0-4 oz of just plain water. Of course I consume far more than that in other forms.

You should add less than 8oz to your poll. I rarely drink more than 8 oz.

3-5 cups of black coffee between 8-5, and water thereafter. I don't keep track. When I'm thirsty, I go get a glass of water.

BTW, you're missing the ever-classic STFU gigapet option.

As much as possible... definately over a gallon. Yay to being strict on diet on exercise.

Supposedly, if you drink a 2-liter of icy cold water it burns ~400 kcals through thermogenesis/processing alone. I probably could dig out the study if I wasn't so lazy.

a minimum of 3 20oz bottles and a 16oz glass with lunch a day. So I would say 75-100oz a day.

does it matter when you drink your water as long as you drink it?

I usually drink 3 liters at work and the last liter or more over the course of the night 4 pm- midnight.

Would i be better off drinking the water more spread out over the day.

It takes .001 food-calories to heat one gram of water up one °C. You'd need to raise the water up 37°C to bring it from freezing to body temperature. 1L of water weighs 1000 grams, so you'd burn 37 food-calories per liter of ice water.
