Sorry, but the gallon of water idea is a bad one. Unless you running a marathon, that much water will just pass thru your system, taking along your body’s nutrients out with it.
Most of your daily water requirement comes from the food you eat (like fruits, salads, soup, ect)
Under normal ciscumstances and normal weather, the max one needs of plain water is 4 cups ( 6-8 if your’re working out or in extreme hot climate).
And thank you, happiest for your vote of confidence! The reason my diet seems so likable is because its simple and sustainable. No one (myself included) likes counting each calorie, each point (if you are in Weigh Watchers), each gram.
Eat with your head, not your instinct.
