drinking 2 gallons of water a day is this good?

Yea I do a bit of fibre I get most of it from veggies but if I take fibre supplements or metamucil I end up unable to shit cause I'm pooping out a baby it seems.
 
^lol dude im in your same boat right now. i think I need to up my water consumption with the fiber because it's not seeming to help at all (in fact its making things worse). But 2 gallons does seem like way too much water. I was drinking about 2 gallons of water a day a couple years ago, and I was just ALWAYS thirsty and my tongue was constantly dry, even though I was literally constantly sipping a bottle of water all day long. I realized I was drinking way too much water and not getting enough electrolytes. You gotta balance it out, just like everything else. If you drink more water maybe eat something salty or a banana... or swap out one of your waters for coconut water or freshly squeezed juice.
 
It's not only about the electrolytes... Your kidneys have a limit and if you push them past their limit, they damage over time.
 
That is completely untrue. And 7 cups is around 1.65L btw.

Actually it depends on the tea and cup size. Some people drink half liter cups of tea. There are also all sorts of teas out there that only add a bit of some sort of herb (like camellia or fennel teas), and so do not have caffeine or dehydrating properties.


Is it better if we add products like Bolero to the 2L of water?

~2 liters of water and a healthy diet. It is very hard to beat plain, clean water for most applications.
