but what size glasses of water? If a bottle of water is 20 oz it 8 of them seems excessive. I know it's important to stay hydrated and i've heard it good for weight loss to drink a lot of water, but doesn't that leave you more bloated. Thank you!

You should drink a minimum of 8 cups of water, a cup measuring 8 ounces (64 oz. total per day).
It won't make you bloated because it passes through your system very quickly (doesn't need to be digested) and then you excrete it.
Actually the opposite is true; if you don't replace the water in you body often, your body thinks it is dying of thirst and will retain the water it has as a survival technique.

8 - 8 oz. glasses
a bottle of water would be 2 1/2 glasses
I have been hearing that they now say only 5 glasses per day and you actually get most of the water you need from the food you eat.

64oz of water daily (on average).
That is 8 cups (8oz) of water.
A normal bottle of water has 16.9oz.
So, 1 bottle is 2 cups.
In a day, you should drink 4 of them.
Just an example.
Drink up! It helps your body so much!!

The 8 glasses a day is a myth.
Studies have shown that there was no scientific basis for 8 glasses a day for healthy people.
Most doctors go along with the 8 glasses a day since it really doesn't hurt you and water contains no calories.

the recommend amount is 8-8oz glasses or water. don't go over about 85-90 oz a day...this can dilute ur blood too much, which can cause dehydration and illness

It's an urban myth, likely started by the bottled water company.
