Hungry or Just Thirsty?
Inspired by the work of Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
The next time you’re tempted to reach for a snack, try asking yourself, “Could I actually be thirsty?” Many of us mistake thirst for hunger, thinking we want food when what our bodies really need is a drink of pure water. So we overeat, and leave our bodies still thirsting.
Proper hydration is one of the keys, not only to staying fit and healthy, but to looking and feeling our best, as well. Find out what Dr. Cousens, a renowned nutritionist, has to say about the connection between water and health. We also offer you a great formula for energizing the water you drink. It’s all here:
If you avoid dehydration, you can avoid overeating. As Dr. Cousens says, “When you start to hydrate by drinking enough water, then your appetite goes down because you’re actually fulfilling what your body needs—which is water. And that’s also a very powerful way to lose weight, but also, in a sense, the hydration makes everything, including your brain, work a lot better.”
He advocates drinking water that is biologically healthy and filled with positive energy. Here is his formula for making your own Energized Moon Water for better health.

The main thing is to get as much as fits your needs regularly. It's definately water which is (so all the medics speak about) best good for you, not alternatives such as coffee, tea or anything like those. As you're diabetic I wouldn't think soda would be good for you, coffee either, not to quench your thirst at least. Not sure about Danactive as I'm from the UK, so I know nothing about it. Given your circumstances my advice would be to drink plenty of the best type of water you can. Good luck. Sue.

I dislike the taste of water. I am a diabetic too so I have to force myself to drink. I am always thirsty even though I drink soda, coffee, and Danactive. Sometimes I drink flavored water. I hear it is bad for your kidneys. Is that true?

Water is good to have a fair amount of daily, it's also great for helping lose weight as well as keeping the cravings away when quitting smoking. It fills us up and takes away what you thought were hunger pangs or ciggy cravings.
It's all to easy to forget to drink it though so I often use a timer for hourly glasses of water, that really is useful. Try it during the evenings too when all too often we reach for snacks and risk gaining weight!
