I am unreasonable with what I drink...

For the past few weeks, I have been pretty un-well, always have a very sore headache, around the eye and the nose and this is also impacted with my endometriosis.

My husband tells me that I am not helping myself by drinking so much sprite, Fanta or coke-zero per day. I used to drink Coke Zero but switched to sprite because of the no caffeine but my husband thinks I should not drink any of these drinks unless I am out for dinner. I need to be honest and say I consume around 2 litres per day of sprite, very little water apart from at night and I do not drink alcohol.

Could my husband have a point?

He says I should drink only water but that seems crazy to me as I always have a sprite with my dinner or lunch. What do you all drink?

I drink about 5 litres of water a day....

That’s too much water. You don’t happen to suffer with headaches or dry mouth do you? Drinking too much water can lead to side effects which makes a person think they are dehydrated when actually they have diluted the sodium in their bodies.

@Blondequeenie sorry for the late reply! Yes I did lose quite a bit of weight quite quickly and then it evened out after a month or so, I think it just brought me down to the sort of weight I was naturally supposed to be!
