Losing Weight With Water!

It may not come as surprise to you that water is good for your health. And it’s been widely publicized that drinking water can help people who are trying to lose weight. Few people would disagree, but there are also few who truly understand why this is so.

Many suspect that drinking water will help you feel fuller thereby eating or craving less high calorie food. There’s some truth to that.

It’s also been suggested that keeping your hands busy with water glass or bottle helps reduce the need to eat needlessly.

There may be plenty of truth to these suggestions, but water also fulfulls fundamental need for the body. It is needed for metabolism.

How does water factor in?

Well, it’s like this..the liver is the internal organ that metabolizes fat. It takes the stored fat (that fat which you want to get rid of) and it turns it into energy.

But the liver also has other functions and one of those functions involves helping the kidneys out anytime they are not working at full capacity. In order to keep the liver optimized for metabolizing stored fat, it’s critical to have the kidneys carrying their full load.

Now you see where the water comes into play. The kidneys require water in fairly large amounts to do their job. If your body senses that it is not getting enough water, it will begin to store water in unlikely and undesirable places.

One way to help the body eliminate water ’storage’ is to let it have confidence that continuous stream of water is coming down the pipe and there is no need to hoard.

For most of us, this means minimum of eight 8-ounce glasses per day.

Overweight people as well as those living in hot climate or exercising intensely require more, often twice the amount we think of as ‘optimum’.

The body is very good at ridding itself of excess water.

Since most diets require reduction in caloric intake, less water is normally consumed as well.

About 30% of our total water intake comes from foods we are eating. Decrease your food intake and chances are you will be reducing the amount of water your body is used to getting.

For some variety, add squeeze of fresh lemon or lime to your water and drink it chilled whenever possible. And by all means, avoid waiting as long as you become thirsty to start drinking.

By the time you feel thirsty, the body has already begun the process of storing water.

I have seen truly amazing results in my Weight Loss Breeze program. I use water in the program but in completely different way than I’ve ever seen in any other program.
