Lose Weight by Drinking More

This is certainly one of the simplest nuggets of truth around. In all the froth and bubble of life there’s a flurry of bargain purchasing of exercise equipment and a plethora of weight-loss diets, yet this simple technique goes relatively unnoticed. And it’s such a shame. When we learn to drink more... water, we find for several reasons we’re more likely to lose weight and keep it off!
Water has no calories but it fills our stomaches, giving us the full feeling so we don’t need to snack on calorie-laden food stuffs.

- Water hydrates us so fats are easily and readily sent packing, flushing through the kidneys and excreted out.

- Water, drunk in plentiful quantities, keeps us active in going to the toilet--more exercise.

- Water helps us perspire and giving the body the means to stay efficiently cool.

- Water also assists with the formation of our stools, so constipation and rectal bleeding could be a thing of the past.

Water is so underrated. And all that gets in our way is the lack of willingness to form the healthy habit of drinking 4 litres or a gallon a day for men, and 2-3 litres or half a gallon for women.

To establish the healthy habit of drinking lots of water, it pays to get used to the feeling of a full bladder. And we also need to carry a drink bottle with us.

Remember the more coffee or alcohol we drink the more water we’ll need. The best situation is to live on water alone--now that’s simplicity.
