Is it really necessary to drink glasses of water per day while dieting?
Many physicians, dietitians, diet plans, etc. recommend that you drink 6-8 glasses (8 oz./glass) of water per day, quoting one or more of the following reasons: Most people already drink far less fluids than they should, and dieters in particular should avoid the physical stress that dehydration can cause. You can be dehydrated without being thirsty; drinking this amount of water ensures adequate levels of hydration.
