Drinking water to lose weight
Try to drink a minimum of Eight 8-ounce Glasses of water a day. Water is the safest, cheapest (hey, its free!), and most effective weight loss supplement on the market today.
There may not be any magic weight loss pills on the market yet, but there is a magic weight loss drink called water that you can use to lose weight instantly!
Don't take drinking water for granted when it comes to weight loss... it's very important that you drink water and here's 4 reasons why...
1. Water Lowers the Amount of Fat Stored in your body
Your kidneys get very lazy on the job when you don't drink enough water and as a result of you not drinking water, your kidneys give most of its unfinished work to your liver.
One of your liver's functions is to help your body burn stored fat for energy and it can't perform that job fully if it has to do the kidney's job also.
By not drinking water you put your liver on double duty, decreasing its fat burning potential and causing you to store more fat. If you drink enough water your kidneys will stop being lazy, do its job of excreting waste products from your body, and...
Your liver can focus 100% on burning stored fat for energy.
So the more water you drink...
The less fat you'll store in your body
and the less water you drink...
the more fat you'll store in your body.
2. Water Suppresses Appetite
No more Overeating...!
Water creates that feeling of fullness to help suppress your appetite.
Just taking one glass of water before a meal is a good way to keep you from overeating at a particular meal.
Preventing overeating, which is one of the main causes of weight gain, will not only help you maintain your current bodyweight but also help you lose weight
3. Water has Zer0 Calories
|
Puts Weight On |
If you substitute all your sodas, fruit juice, teas, coffee, and beer for a glass of water you could lose a good amount of weight depending on how much of these different beverages you drink. For example a 20oz Pepsi contains 250 calories and if you drink 2 bottles a day that's 500 calories. If you were to replace those 2 bottles of Pepsi with 2 bottles of water you would be cutting 500 calories a day form your daily diet. Since a pound of fat contains 3500 calories... You would lose a pound every week if you simply replaced those 2 bottles of soda with 2 bottles of water. |
Burns Fat. Takes Weight Off |
4. Drink Ice Cold Water to Burn extra Calories
|
Studies show that drinking ice cold water actually helps you burn calories. Why? Fat calories are burned to bring the temperature of the cold water to the same as your normal body temperature, which is 98.6F. Your body has to burn at least 15 calories for every 16oz glass of ice cold water you drink to bring that ice water to body temperature. If you drank (7) 16oz glasses of ice cold water each day, you
would burn over 100 calories a day, or lose more than 10 lbs. a
year doing nothing! The more water the better. |

No need to be confused because the major things to focus on in weight loss is...
What you eat (see NowLoss.com/199), how much you eat here, and exercise.
these are just extra tips and whether you use these tips or not is not going to make or break your weight loss dreams

Khadijah Inas,
If the doctors say low impact - do they mean low intensity?
If so - you can still lose weight doing light activities but you'll have to do those light activities like walking or riding a bike for at least an hour everyday or at least 5 times a week to see results

Naomi,
I get good results by placing water in fridge for at least an hour but ice cubes may give you same effect
I've been drinking lots of water and I'm really noticing a difference.
But how do I get ice cold water? Am I always supposed to put ice cubes in it or is it ok if I just put the water in the fridge beforehand?
