7 Habits of Weight Loss

Hydration, Water, and Weight loss

Proper Hydration is key to weight loss.

Water is the lube that greases the wheels of your metabolism.
So more bad stuff is flushed, and more good stuff gets processed properly.

Why is drinking lots of water being pushed so much these days?

Do I really need to drink 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day?

Hydration, Water, and Weight Loss go hand in hand.

Water is the primary substance in our body.

It is used for everything that our body does.

It lubricates the system, and keeps the balances in check.

It flushes out the bad things we put in, and helps us process the good things we eat.

It also helps curb hunger.
A tall glass of water 30 minutes before a meal will help you feel less hungry, helping you to practice portion control.
Leading to decreased calorie intake as a part of a weight loss regiment.

The current trend is to recommend 1 ounce of water per day, for every 2 pounds you weigh to achieve proper hydration.

So, instead of the 64 ounces once recommended, it would be 80 ounces for a 160 pound person.

Scientific studies show that the amount of water that is released from your system varies greatly amongst body types, percentage of fat in the body, how hot it is, whether you are exercising, and if you are stressed out.

So the amount of water you need can vary by the day.

The real test is whether your urine is appropriately colored (clear to light yellow). If the odor is strong, or is a Bright Glowing stream…

Not all of it has to be consumed as straight water.

But the body does need to have the water available.
Water can come in the form of fruits and vegetables. (The more of them you eat, the less you need to drink.)

Many foods and drinks can take the place of drinking straight water.

There are many studies that say Tea has great health properties, and it is a great way to increase your water intake.

Find a schedule that works for you, and stick with it, and in short order, you won't even really think about it anymore.

It's just one more habit.

It just happens to be a healthy one.

If you want some suggestions on how to get enough Water for Weight Loss...

This is not about Fasting for Weight Loss, but about getting the right amount of water to let your body do its job.

Welcome aboard, and enjoy the journey to a happier healthier you.

Remember, the start of a good habit begins with the first step.
