There is a vital connection between drinking water and fat loss. Incredible as it may seem, water is quite possibly the single, most important factor in weight loss programme and keeping it off. Water is possibly the only true "magic potion" for permanent weight loss.
Think WATER WEIGHT LOSS.
It is believed that when we metabolise or "burn" 16 ounces of fat, our body generates 22 ounces of water, which surprisingly must be flushed out by drinking water, a minimum of 64 ounces daily.
Think DRINKING WATER WEIGHT LOSS.
By drinking less than this amount, the body feels threatened, and in self protection, will hang on to every molecule of water in the body, resulting in fluid retention and no "weight loss" on the scales.
Think WATER HELP TO LOSS WEIGHT.
Water can suppress the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolise stored fat.
By drinking water and correcting fluid retention, more fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolise fat at top speed. The kidneys cannot function properly without enough water.
When they don't work to capacity, some of their load is dumped on the liver forcing it to metabolise less fat.
Water helps to wash out by-products of metabolism, prevents accumulation of body (and drug) toxins, helps in maintaining all normal body functions such as temperature control and electrolyte balance, and prevents constipation.
Ample water is also important in preventing sagging skin during fat loss.
An overweight person needs more water than a thin person. Larger people have larger metabolic loads.
Since we know that water is the key to fat metabolism, drinking water is essential to weight loss and maintaining good health during the stress of dieting.
Dieters should keep in mind, that they normally receive a large portion of their daily water needs through their food, which can be seventy-to-ninety percent water.
During dieting, the food intake is reduced and thus, the person is not getting their normal supply of water let alone the extra water they need to flush out the metabolic by-products.
This results in a "hidden hunger" in dieters as the body is craving food, not for its calorie content, but for its water content.
The water is especially needed to keep the skin healthy. If the body can't get rid of the by-products from metabolising stored body fat via kidney excretion, the skin is called upon to help excrete these by-products.
People often overlook the role of the skin in excreting toxins. Water is not only a "magic potion" for fat loss, it is a "magic-cosmetic" for the skin.
Remember - 8 glasses or more a day, keeps the extra fat away
The water helps flush the body and is VERY IMPORTANT to the program.
Use a two-litre bottle, fill it with water and try to finish it every day.
Summary
Two linked topics are water weight loss. They seem to be closely linked because many of the body's functions rely on water to perform correctly and at maximum.
Water help to loss weight by ensuring these bodily functions can continue correctly.
So motto must be '8 glasses daily of drinking water weight loss'
