Question: What is the best weight loss pill? Can water
help me lose weight?
Answer:
Water Is Safer and Easier
I’m asked every day if there’s a “magic” pill
out there . . . something that’ll help shed that excess fat tissue and
keep it off for good. What if I told you that there is something that’s
inexpensive, readily available, safe, without side-effects, and just may be
the most effective fat loss substance anywhere?
What is this mystery substance? This magic pill that you’ve been waiting
for? Well, it isn’t a pill at all. It’s good old water.
That’s right, pure H2O.
Water is without a doubt one of the most underrated and yet dramatically effective
keys to weight loss and, in particular, body fat reduction. There’s absolutely
no denying that drinking a lot of pure, clean water (8-12 glasses per day) will
help you get and stay LEAN.
Let me make it perfectly clear here that we’re talking about plain water
. . . not soda (which is loaded with sugar; even diet soda is full of salt and
chemical sweeteners), not coffee, tea, juice, blah, blah, blah. None of these
count. Just WATER.
Why Water Is Such An Effect Fat Loss Aid
*Water seems to act as a natural appetite suppressant. In fact, people on diets
who do not increase their water intake will find themselves feeling “hungry”
much more often and more severely than those who do up their water consumption.
One possible reason for this is that dieters are getting less water from their
food, because they're eating less food, so the body is actually craving
fluid. These cravings can be significantly curbed with increased water intake.
*Consuming enough water allows the kidneys to function optimally. This in turn
enables the liver to become more efficient at metabolizing fat. The result is
an increased fat burning capacity in the liver.
*When the body doesn’t get sufficient amounts of water, it’ll metabolically
shift in a defensive and protective strategy to “preserve” what
it has. This can only result in a negative slowdown of bodily functions and
processes. Incidentally, something similar happens when you cut fat completely
out of your diet: the body compensates by holding on to as much of its fat stores
as possible, thus defeating the purpose. This is why I recommend a nutrition
program rich in “good” fats which promote metabolism.
In addition to fat loss, drinking adequate amounts of water also has numerous
other biological and physical benefits. Maintaining healthy and vibrant appearing
skin is an example of one such added benefit.
Bottom Line: drinking sufficient amounts of pure water should be the first
step in any serious fat reduction program.
