Do I drink water as well on Smoothie fast?

[Kiravana]

Hello all... lurker here.. hehehe:)

Tomorrow I am starting a 50 day smoothie fast.. I have done a tremendous amount of research, watched documentaries, and have gotten my families support.. but one thing I never found was do I drink water as well on the smoothie fast? I don't mean just the water in my smoothie but extra water throughout the day :)

Wish me luck.. LOL.. overweight and seriously addicted to food. but I feel spiritually this is the first step in my journey that I need to take!

Thanks

EDIT: *facepalm* Should have put this in the fasting section..! >_<!

Yes.

ALWAYS drink water! It's pretty much the most essential thing to life, you always need water. The better hydrated you are the better you will feel all round.

While smoothies have a lot of water they are really a food. You'd have to drink smoothies constantly to stay properly hydrated. Even then the balance of food consumption and water would be way out.

Try to drink a couple of jugs of water a day, even on a smoothy diet.

I hope you just *palm faced* at the obviousness of this!

I don't drink much water. I have a Vitamix, which is a blender with a huge pitcher, and I use lots of water to blend in my fruit-veggie smoothies. But then again, I like my smoothies water-y where I can drink it with a straw. I am not one of those people who feel that their smoothies should be thick with less water to where you can chew it.
