The Basics Of Weight Loss Diets: The Importance of Water
Water is definitely the simplest nutrient we have in our body, it is by far the most vital to our functioning.
But in our diet, we sometimes underestimate its value.
The most basic function of water is cleaning the body.
When you drink enough water your body allows itself to circulate the water in it a lot quicker.
Drinking water can even cure you when you're sick, just by helping the body cleanse it self and letting the immune system do its job.
When trying to lose weight, water can help us feel full.
It doesn't mean you don't need to eat, but when you know you are not really hungry and just feel like grabbing a quick bite, a glass of water will do the job.
I also suggest you drink one glass of water before every meal.
It will fill your stomach and you will need smaller meals to feel full.
But this is not the real issue,
The real issue is what you drink when you don't drink water.
People might have convinced you that diet sodas and other soft drinks are doing a great job substituting water.
Well, it is a wrong and dangerous assumption.
Aside of the aspartame which is a chemical sweetener known to be very harmful at times,
You have a lot of other chemicals that your body doesn't know how to deal with.
And to that, in most cases, you can add caffeine which is known to decelerate fat loss.
Those are your diet drinks, and you probably know what's wrong with the not-so-diet ones,
You guessed it: calories!
"But what can I do?" You ask,
"I've been drinking this stuff since forever" you say.
Well, stop!
This is just another example of the simple things you refuse to do for no apparent reason.
You change your meal plans, exercise like crazy and doing everything you can to lose another pound each week.
You are working so hard, why not do this simple thing and stop shooting yourself in the foot?
There is a very simple solution to your problem, start moderating your drinking.
I know it can be hard to just lose the soft drinks,
But you want to lose weight and it is just an obstacle in your way.
Start by buying one less bottle a week, and drink a lot of water.
Soon enough you'll see that it isn't that hard,
Believe me, I did it, you can too.
As you may have already understood, I'm a believer of simple things,
This simple thing can & will show you results.
So do it, start appreciating your water and use it wisely.
Good luck,
