A member asked:

Approximately how much water should a person with a bmi of 43 drink daily?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Water: As long as you have no real health issues, the normal individual should consume half their weight in ounces of water. Therefore, a 150 pound individual should consume 75 ounces of water each day.
