does the water diet work



(dramatic orchestral music) - monster headaches. - i'm so tired. - lashing out. - [woman in gray] we want fucking water! - stop torturing me. - there's a psychological component. - i might die doing this. iliterally might die doing this. (woman screaming)

(dramatic music crescendos) - coffee is life. lifeis coffee. (sips coffee) - like, on a normal day, i'm dehydrated. i'm probably dehydrated right now. - i don't know how towatch netflix without wine. - i'm addicted to coffee.i love soda on the weekend. - i really hope to not bedehydrated all the time. - i'd like to know what itfeels like to feel healthy. - i wanna be not addicted to caffeine.

- i feel really sluggish inthe afternoons around 2 or 3, and i'm hoping that maybeif i just go all water i'll have some more energy. - i can do this, 100%. (laughs) - good morning, everybody. so, got my water, i'm ready to do this, i'm feelin' pretty good. actually, i'm prettyexcited. let's do this! healthy living: day one.

it's day three. i feellike i'm dying right now. can i chew, like, coffeebeans for caffeine? - i went into this reallyconfident, but this is actually one of the hardest things i've ever done. i'm so tired. and all iwanna do is drink coffee. - i have had a ton of withdrawal. i just feel terrible. - monster headaches, lashing out at other people for no reason.

- to me, i feel like this wasprobably the toughest week. cause it was the change. i feel like now i'm sortagetting used to not having tea. but the biggest bummer,i think, was socializing. - [voiceover] david. how'sthat water thing coming, buddy? - the water thing is just great, and i was just gettingsome water right now. - which water were you gonna get in there? - and don't you guyshave jobs or something?

don't you have jobs? get to your jobs. - eating and drinking areso tied to my social life. it's difficult to be atbreakfast and just drinking water and everyone else is drinking, like, a coffee or some orange juice. - this challenge is theworst possible thing. i've gained weight. - the fact that i'm drinking so much water makes me feel entitled tomake choices like nachos.

i guess when i came intothis i was kinda hoping that i would notice more energy, or notice something significantabout the way i feel change and that hasn't happened. - i also haven't been supergood about not drinking alcohol. i just wanna have fun on afriday after the difficult week so i've had a few drinks.(buzzer) and then i went to karaoke and (buzzer)drank a lot. (laughs)

(bouncy pop music) - so we're gonna play some kind of weird mash-up of capture the flag and tag? (woman screaming and laughing) - i feel okay, i feel pretty fine. i'm not too tired, so maybe i have been a lot more hydratedthese past three weeks. - since i've started, the onlywater thing i have noticed: the wall i hit at 3 or 4pm has kind of gone away.

- i've been managing my sleep better, so i force myself to goto bed at a certain time if i know that the nextday i have to get up early. cause usually i'll just usecoffee to cover all that up. - i also didn't realizejust how often in my life alcohol is just around, andmore often than not, free. in this past week i wasat three different parties where people were offeringme lots of free alcohol. stop torturing me.

- this is way harder than ithought it was going to be. this is just, this has been the worst. - i'm about to explodewith happiness. oh my gosh! (people sipping drinks) - it's been a long time.(steven sighs) - this is great. it is before 11:30 in the morning. - it's one week out and i feeltired, still, all the time. i feel like coffee shouldreally affect me now,

but i feel like now i'mjust desensitized to it. - doing this life change was really good because now any futurelife changes i wanna make i'm a little more prepared for. - my base lesson is that water should be what you drink as a baseline. - i can't tolerate coffee anymore. which is so sad and so difficult. you're forcing me to be hydrated
