Weight Loss Tip: Drink More Water
Water plays a vital role in losing weight: It helps you feel
full so you don't eat as much, it helps all of the important
organs in your body dispose of waste, which in turn allows your
body to burn fat better and faster.
Water has no calories, so you can have as much of it as you'd
like. It also helps flush toxins out of the body, gives you more
energy, and keeps your skin healthy too. Since it also helps you
feel fuller, drinking water will prevent you from eating more
food than you should. And of course, eating less helps you lose
weight.
Some say that drinking cold water also helps boost your
metabolism slightly. Theoretically: Your body needs a tiny bit
more energy to warm the water, thus it could use a fraction more
energy when processing it. I don't know if this is true or not
unfortunately, but I personally don't think it hurts.
Here are a couple of easy ways to be sure you're drinking enough
water:
First: Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake
up, gulp down a glass of cool water. Your body has been without
fluids for 6-8 hours, so it's probably dehydrated. Drinking a
tall, cool glass of water as soon as you wake up is a wonderful
way to start you day. It also helps make you feel full, so
you'll eat less for breakfast.
A glass of water also lets out all your digestive juices and
jump starts your internal organ functionality, plus it gets your
metabolism kicked in. So even if you want coffee or tea first
thing in the morning, have that glass of water too. It's a great
step towards losing weight.
I personally drink a big cup of water while waiting for the
coffee to finish brewing.
Next: Drink a glass of water before you start a meal. Water
helps make your stomach feel full, so drinking a glass before
eating - or at the very least while eating - will help you eat
less food.
Have another glass of water while you're having the meal. Again
this is another way of making yourself full so that you can
actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just
the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each
morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get
that feeling that you are full faster.
Last but not least: Use a straw when you're drinking water. It
actually helps you drink more without even realizing it.
