Losing Weight with Water!

By Christian Goodman

H2O is well know for it's health benefits. It has also long been credited with helping people who are trying to lose weight. The reasons why though are not so widely known.

Some say that it helps you to feel full so you eat less.

Some suggest that just having something to do with your hands help replace the desire to munch.

In fact there are many reasons to combine adequate water intake along with exercise to any weight loss program. One of the most fundamental of these happens to be the importance of water to the body's metabolism.

Now we've all heard about our metabolism and its importance to weight loss, but water? How does water come into play?

Energy is created from stored fat. The liver metabolizes the fat.

The liver also provides help to the kidneys when they are not performing at peak level. But in doing so, the liver is not able to optimally complete the function of metabolizing fat. It's busy helping the kidneys.

Water is required in order for the kidneys to perform. If the body determines enough water has not been taken in - it will start to store water. And not necessarily in places we would like.

By taking in plenty of water, the body's need to retain water is eliminated.

8 glasses of water each containing 8 ounces of water can do it for most people.

But many people do require more - those who are already carrying extra pounds or those who sweat a lot due to exercise or temperature.

The body is very efficient at regging rid of water that is not needed.

It's wise to remember that most weight loss programs are going to restrict the caloric intake in some way. This automatically means you are going to be taking in less water.

In eating less, water is also lessened. Food accounts for around 30% of most people's water intake. Eat less, and you'll also reduce your water consumption.

So stay mindful of the need for water especially when cutting down on food intake. And you don't need to wait until you're parched to drink.

By the time you feel thirsty, the body has already begun the process of storing water.

My Weight Loss Breeze program also places emphasis on water - but in a way you've probably never seen in other weight loss programs.
