Water
and Weight Loss They go hand in hand
So, how do you
make sure you are getting enough water for weight loss?
First of all…
Track the amount you are currently drinking.
If you don't know what you are taking in, you can't take control of the
amount you are adding. See
Tracking Progress
Are you drinking throughout the day?
While you can just chug your daily intake in a couple of sittings…
You probably won't like what it does to your bladder.
But, if you take in a couple of large cups around the times you would
normally be snacking, you can kill 2 birds with one stone. (Hydration and Decreasing Calorie Intake)
If you have some water filled fruit for a snack, you won't need to
drink as much water for weight loss needs.
Want a suggestion for a Water for Weight Loss routine?
Have a glass of water to start your day.
Think of it as priming the pump.
It is a signal to your body, that things are going to get moving.
Keep a tall glass of water next to you at your desk (if you have a desk
job) and drink from it regularly.
Or carry a water bottle with you, if your job takes you on the go.
Have another large glass of water a little before lunch.
Fill up that cup or water bottle that is staying at your side, after
lunch, and make sure you finish it before you head home for dinner.
Grab another quick glass before dinner, to curb appetite, and 'grease
the wheels' of your digestive system to keep things flowing properly.
If you did that simple routine with 16 ounce (Pint) glasses, you would
have consumed 80 ounces of water. For 160 lb person, the job of meeting
your water requirements is pretty much done.
Me, personally…
Here's my goal every day.
16 ounces to wake me up
16 ounces before lunch
16 ounces before dinner
And a 32 ounce water bottle, that I consider it my job to finish
somewhere between breakfast and Dinner.
Water is an important daily requirement for healthy living.
Don't let this simple piece keep you from being all that you can be.
