Drink Water To Lose Weight

You’ve probably heard it more than once: drink more water to help you lose more weight. but does water really help weight loss? The short answer is yes. drinking water helps boost your metabolism, cleanse your body of waste and acts as an appetite suppressant.

Also, drinking more water helps your body stop retaining water, leading you to drop those extra pounds of water weight.

So what can you do to make sure you’re drinking the recommended eight-to-10 8-ounce glasses per day to keep yourself hydrated and encourage weight loss?

Step 1: Follow the Water Diet

Drink water throughout the day. A big drink of water at one time does not have the same effect as several drinks spread out in smaller quantities. It is recommended at all times to have on us a water bottle from which to drink a little bit

Drink a glass of water before meals. Drink water before meals, on one hand, it will "wash" the digestive tract, and on the other hand it will reduce some of the appetite.

Give up on energy drinks. They contain sugar, and sugar consumed with water, promotes weight gain. Drink still water instead.

Drink cold water. One study shows that the body's effort to heat the water we consume accelerates fat burning and the carbohydrates metabolism

Step 2: Follow a Water Fast

Try replacing a single meal with pure water. If you have never fasted, take small steps to prepare your body for the challenge of fasting.

Consider skipping lunch and just drinking water or unsweetened, unflavored seltzer water in its place

Try a 24-hour water fast. Prepare for 7 days before a 24-hour fast. Start by removing foods and drinks high in sugar, fat, and caffeine 7 days before you intend to begin your water fast

Replace unhealthy foods with lean proteins, salads, and fresh produce. Increase your water intake each day until you are comfortable consuming at least a half-gallon each day.

Consider taking herbal supplements or finding a safe water additive to balance electrolytes.

Although the water fast does not permit sweeteners or solid food during the fast, it often recommends prune supplements or natural salts to prevent water intoxication

Sip unsweetened green tea for breakfast and seltzer water for lunch. Any time you feel discomfort or hunger pains, drink additional water.

Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the green tea or seltzer to add some flavor if desired.
