Can Water Really Help You
Lose Weight

Yes, it can!
I believe that
water not only helps with weight loss, but is also one of
the most important things to keep in mind when trying to
lose weight. Here are just some of the reasons why
everyone should be drinking at least eight glasses
of water day.
Naturally suppresses appetite
Increases metabolism
Reduces stored fat deposits
Improves kidney function
Decreases fluid retention Helps
muscles maintain their tone
Aids in the prevention of sagging skin after weight loss
Rids the body of excess waste
Regulates bowel movements
It’s Free!
Aren’t these enough reasons for you to start drinking your full
daily intake of water?
I started drinking 9 glasses a day, and I noticed a difference
over night!! I lost five pounds in the course of one day, and
it’s stayed off. The key is to keep drinking water, or you will
see the weight come back. For every 25 pounds you want to lose,
drink an extra glass of water.
Now, even though we have most of a day to suck back all that
water, it is actually more difficult that you might think. So
here are some tips to help you make sure you get your daily
intake:
Make an appointment with your glass of water. Schedule certain
times of the day to chug back 8 ounces at once. After you wake
up in the morning, on your way to work, during a commercial,
etc.
Have a water race with a friend or family member. The extra
competition will help motivate you.
I bought a big 1.5L bottle and made sure I drank all of it
before the end of the day. If I didn’t, I told my co-workers
that they had permission to dump whatever was left on my
head.
Before drinking that coffee or pop, force yourself to get
another glass of water down. You will probably not even want
anything else after that.
When you go to the bathroom (and you will be going frequently
at first), refuel yourself with another glass before going back
to whatever it was that you were doing.
Measure how much water you need in a bottle or measuring cup,
then you can see your goal for the day.
I played a game with myself while I was doing a puzzle. Every
time I fit a piece into the puzzle, I would have to take a
drink. It seems pretty silly, but it worked. I do puzzles
pretty fast, so I downed almost 2 glasses in less than a half
hour.
Use these ideas, or come up with your own tricks to help you
reach your goal. You will notice a difference right away. I
know I did. I felt better, I could see my stomach shrinking,
and I found myself snacking less. It really works!
