I know I drink more water now that I can easily see how much water I am drinking. I always thought that I was hungry, however, now I realize that I am just thirsty most of the time. I feel a lot better and I have less drainage and sinus issues. Great article!

I love the concept, and adding on to it all these features will really make a difference in how and why people track their health.

The paradox about water retention when drinking insufficiently is easily explained: Your body retains water for what it perceives may be a drought or some other reason you currently can’t get enough water. This is also part of the reason for the Jo-Jo effect observed when dieting. Building up fatty tissue is meant as a reserve in case of food shortage. Starving yourself is having the same effect, so if you do eat something, your body uses as little as possible right away and stores the rest. Better: eating small, regular meals so you’re never hungry.

Great site and tool, keep up the good work.
