Lose Weight by Drinking More

Am I mad? Do the alcohol companies pay my salary?

Sorry, all you budding Homer Simpson's out there, I don't mean lose weight by drinking more alcohol. I'm talking about drinking more Adam's ale - also known as water.

Yes, you can lose weight faster by drinking water. It should be an intuitive thing to drink water, really, but so many of us will reach for a fizzy soda just bursting with stuff you can't pronounce. Here's a little tip for you: if your mouth can't pronounce the name of the stuff, you probably shouldn't be putting it into your mouth in the first place!

So what's the real skinny on this miracle drink?

First, the human body is made up of a significant percentage of water. Estimates vary, but something like 70% or so of your body is water. Just keeping yourself well hydrated, 'topped up' if you will, helps you boost your overall health. And good health is important in keeping a good, fat-burning metabolism.

Water is also used to 'flush out' the toxins and garbage that accumulates in your body cells. Have you ever caught the odor from a household garbage bin that hasn't been emptied for a while? Would you like that going on inside of you? Part of the garbage that accumulates in your cells is fat deposits and flushing them away is a no-brainer. Don't overlook the importance of keeping your kidneys clean and efficient - they need water to work well.

You also need water to help eliminate other waste. If you are well hydrated you'll be able to eliminate waste more efficiently, completely and easily. And the faster you eliminate waste matter the better because you don't want your body storing it.

There are lots of myths about how much water you need and the oldest one of all is probably the 8 glasses a day myth. How much you need depends on your body size and composition, your level of activity and the climate where you live. There really isn't a one size fits all solution so you'll have to discover what works for your individual circumstances.

Another big plus if you're well hydrated by drinking sufficient water is that you are naturally likely to eat less food. Many times you might think you're hungry when in fact you're actually thirsty. That's more common than people realize. Popping the top on a cold one, or having a soda doesn't count as hydration, either!

Generally speaking, if you're well hydrated, you're likely to experience better energy levels and less hunger. Seriously, you'll find you're less hungry if you keep yourself hydrated. Just don't try to take your daily water consumption all in one go. You should be drinking water throughout the day.

Why not commit to ditching sodas and other man-made drinks for a week? At the end of the week have a soda and just notice how you feel after you've drunk it. You won't feel light and energetic the way you would when you drink water. You're likely to feel lethargic and leaden.

Your body knows what's good for it - you just have to give it the support it needs. If you don't think you can stick to drinking water for a week. you may need to consider how to increase your motivation and perseverance.

There are several techniques you can use that will help you to increase your motivation and perseverance.

The majority of your body is water. Do it a favor and replenish its supply with drinking water regularly.

Here's drinking to your health!
