Why am I drinking water all of a sudden? I've never liked water at all even as a kid. I would always drink tea or soda. But now I've noticed that I go through two water bottles a day and drink soda occasionally. I need to lose weight but I'm not dieting. Does this mean that I've started dieting? Also this is a serious question so don't be mean.
It means you/your taste has matured. And it seems like you think its a bad thing, but it's healthier. Not thinking in a diet-way but in general, water is better for you. Enjoy the fact that you're not drinkin as much soda as usual.
I' m not sure that tea is any less healthy than water, if drank with moderation, but soda sure is a heath no-no so it' s a good thing that you grew tired of it. Drinking one glass of wine everyday is even healthier than just drinking water, btw. There' s lots of things that I liked when I was younger and don' t anymore, and vice-versa. Which is perfectly normal since our taste perception isn' t just linked to our taste receptors, it' s also linked to our psyche (that' s why nothing can beat the cake our dear mama cooked us when we were young). If two people who don' t have any particular eye deficiency watch the same obect they' ll perceive more or less the same color, but if you ask them to eat the same dish they won' t perceive the same taste at all.
As far as I'm aware, 'going on a diet' is when you make a conscious effort to alter what sorts of foods you consume. You're not necessarily on a diet if you happen to be drinking more water; a more likely conclusion is that circumstances dictate that you prefer water currently. Perhaps you require more due to an increased need for hydration. Soda is less effective than water in that regard, and tea is impractical to drink on a larger scale. It's only natural that you'd begin to drink ordinary water. If you wanted to, you could turn this subconscious change into a conscious diet by altering other parts of your daily intake of food alongside it. By no means should you try to stop drinking water. There are no downsides to it, unless you drink to extreme excess. My advice is to buy a nice drink bottle, and use it. Don't buy a new bottle each time. That'll just kill your wallet. (And paying for water seems to be ridiculous to me.)
