Soak Up The Skinny In Your Fat Loss Diet

Everyone knows, diet is crucial to losing weight. What
everyone doesn't know is that diet includes what you drink.
This, of course, can be taken to mean avoid sugary sodas,
but there's something more, and most people miss it...

Just drink more water. Most people, period, don't drink
nearly enough water. Drinking 8 eight-ounce glasses of
water a day, or around two quarts, can be the missing key
to success in your fat loss diet. Here's why:

1.) Water Quenches Appetite

Can't stay away from the fridge? Our runaway appetites are
often the biggest obstacles to a sustained fat loss diet.
After all, if we're going to cut the pounds, we've got to
cut some calories. But did you know that when the brain
tells us we're hungry, it may be instead signaling thirst?
Physiologically, our brains do not truly differentiate
between hunger and thirst. So if we find ourselves picking
up a snack right after a meal, fill up a glass of water
instead. Just wait a few minutes and see what it does to
your appetite... More often than not, you'll walk away
without eating a bite.

2.) Boil Away the Fat

Our kidneys are designed to process all the water we
consume. However, if we don't drink enough, they can't
handle the small amounts - there's a sort of minimum
requirement. The job is then delegated to the liver that,
while able to deal with small amounts of water, also hosts
a number of other duties - like converting fat into energy.
Yet, if it's too occupied with processing water, that fat
doesn't turn into energy. It turns into body fat. The
kidneys can take one for the liver here, and you can help
by just drinking enough water. Try giving your fat loss
diet another leg up.

3.) Evaporate the Water Pudge

You gain weight if you don't drink enough water. Sound
contradictory? This is how it works. Our body adapts to our
daily water intake, and in ideal circumstances, does not
retain water. This happens only if we provide it with
enough hydration. If we don't drink enough, water gets
stored in something very much like fat.

This is a safety mechanism, guarding against the impending
"drought". But if we're at home or at work, there's no
reason to enter into survival mode. Once we begin hydrating
our bodies again, this water fat disappears, as our bodies
no longer deem it necessary to survive. Several pounds can
be lost by this alone. Not bad.

There is a legitimate concern here - if I drink so much
water, won't I constantly be in transit to and from the
bathroom? Well, at first, there will be more trips to the
bathroom, but only at first. When you reach ideal hydration
levels, your body dumps all the water fat it has been
retaining - and when you go the bathroom, you're
effectually losing weight. But once the water fat is gone,
the bathroom visits return to normal. With all the benefits
to be had, it's worth a few days of getting up and down a
little more.

Adding water to your weight loss diet can be key in
dropping pounds. After all, if it's free, easy, and
convenient, why not soak up the skinny?
