That's what Credit Suisse restaurant analyst Keith Siegner did for all of April 2008 and somehow managed to lose five pounds. Yep, that's right, he only ate at fast-food chains like McDonald's, Wendy's, Subway and Domino's for 30 days straight. But unlike Morgan Spurlock, of 'Super Size Me' fame, he actually lost weight.

Did you know Eva Longoria drinks up to three liters of water per day? She may be upset by the recent study that said drinking eight glasses of water or 2 liters a day has no scientifically proven benefit of improving your health.

Well, after all these years of trying to knock back the recommended eight glasses a day, some doctors claim it simply is an urban myth "lacking in scientific basis."

I still think it's important to get up to eight glasses a day because our body can lose up to 2.5 liters of liters of water a day so it's important to replenish our water supply. Water is beneficial for a number of reasons. It flushes toxins out of your organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for your tissues. Without water your body will become dehydrated. So if you're just as confused as I am as to the "right" amount of water to drink per day. Here are two simple tips I came across. But make sure you take the environment, your exercise routine and any health conditions into account before you modify your fluid intake.

• First take the pee test: the lighter the color of your pee the more bile is broken down by our bodies. So if you're drinking the right amount of water for your body, your pee will be clear.
• Second: to determine how much water your body needs here's a tip from nutritionist Sophie Pachella. Sophie says you should drink about "half your body weight in ounces each day." This means if you weigh 130 pounds you should drink 65 ounces of water a day.

We all know broccoli is good for you, right? Not only does it have anti-cancer compounds, and anti-oxidant containing vitamins (vitamin-C and bets-carotene) but it's loaded with fiber. But which way is the best way of cooking broccoli and other vegetables, to preserve the most nutrients?

Believe it or not a recent study done at Cornell University said microwaving (behind steaming) is one of the best ways to cook vegetables and retain the nutrients inside. The study found that cooking vegetables on a grill, which exposes them to higher temperatures, is actually more destructive.

But be careful not to add too much water when cooking your veggies in the microwave. Researchers suggest that in order to keep the nutrients undamaged when microwaving you should only use a couple of tablespoons of water to cook raw vegetables and no extra water to cook frozen ones. That's because vegetables lose water-soluble nutrients like folic acid and vitamin-C when they are immersed in cooking liquid.

What tips do you have for steaming or microwaving your veggies?
