Hydrating your body by drinking a lot of water not only boosts your immune system but can also make you fitter. This is not something new to some people but this is too good to spread to everyone who wants to get rid of their extra pounds.
Losing weight with the help of water is true according to Steven Aitchison, cocreator of GuidedMind and author of "100 Ways to Develop Your Mind." It was his accidental discovery when he lost 8 pounds in just one week.
He wasn't doing any excessive exercise or any extended daily activities. He wondered what he has done differently and he remembered that he drank a lot of water more than he could take before. Aitchison said he consumed at least 2 liters of water daily which helped him lose his weight.
You could be wondering how water works to help you lose weight. Here are some explanations:
1. Water makes you feel fuller. When you drink water before and during meals, it will make you feel full and satisfied. So when you feel full because of water, you will lessen your calorie intake coming from foods. This makes you lose weight.
2. Water has zero calories unlike sodas and juice. Too much calorie intake will make you fat so without drinking beverages containing calories, you already helped yourself lose weight.
3. Metabolism is faster when you drink cold water. This may be an indirect effect but still contributes to weight loss. According to LiveStrong, metabolism becomes faster when you drink water because your body will work on heating the cold water that you intake in your body. A well-hydrated body increases your blood volume so your body carries out more waste.
Recommendations for those who wants to try losing weight by drinking water.
1. Drink at least 3 glasses of water in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening.
2. Drink calorie-free drinks during meals.
3. Drink a couple glass of water before meals.
4. Drink sugar-free beverages.
Weight loss made easier by just drinking plenty of water.
