Talked to a doctor about this. She said, you're going to drink how much water? Not with the diuretic you're on you're not. "This isn't a good idea for most people. For you, its really not a good idea. A gallon of water a day will deplete your body of electrolytes. I have a patient of mine that ended up in the ICU doing something similar. Don't do it." Well ok then. My personal opinion? She is overreacting. With some gatorade etc, I'd probably be fine. But this feels 'above my pay grade' to manage well without a lot of research. Given that I have high blood pressure, and I'm on a diuretic for it, I'm going to cut the water to 1/2 gallon per day. (Diuretics remove sodium from your body, which then causes you to reduce the amount of water in your body)
Since I'm changing that, I'm also going to be reading my 10 pages per day on Kindle instead of a printed book. I'm on a pretty limited budget right now to where a $5 book makes me pause.
I'm a little disappointed, but I'm going to do a revised version of this anyway. Here's what I'm doing:
1) Progress pic - 1 a day
2) 10 book-equivalent pages on Kindle a day
3) 1/2 gallon water per day
4) Diet: no sugar (this one has some wiggle room - I won't be putting sugar in my cereal. I won't be eating desserts, no cookies, soda, etc. However, I'll use bbq sauce, salad dressing etc.). No coffee. No crap food (chips, pancakes, etc)
5) 2 45 min exercise sessions per day, one outside.
I know this isn't 75Hard per spec, but I'll be proud of myself for getting through this for 75 days, regardless.
I've done the adjusted version above yesterday and today. All I have to say is: Holy hell.
