How to lose weight by drinking water



Yes, exercise and calories are important, but how much water take a day could play an important role among accomplish your goal to lose weight ... or not. And it's so easy to forget that it is important, that many lose the habit easily.

It gives you more energy to exercise: If you're dehydrated, both your training and your results will suffer. Unfortunately you begin to feel thirsty until you lose about 2% of the weight of water in your body ... but it's still recommended that active women drink at least 2.5 liters of water a day.

Accelerates metabolism: Besides sweat, water accelerates the time to burn calories. This happens because every time you have to eat or drink, your body must work (burn calories) to process what is coming.

Eliminates cravings: choro sure you heard of 'the water will make you feel full' ... but if you know it's true, why are you doing? Moreover, most people do not know how to identify if what they feel is hungry or thirsty, and that both sensations are incredibly similar. Whenever you feel hungry, drink a glass of water, if that emptiness in the stomach is not removed, it's because you're really hungry.

It gives you energy: When your energy levels are stable, you can do a lot of exercise, you will not have cravings and you really feel motivated and comfortable. And that's where the water (70% of your body) is important; sets in motion your cells, your muscles receive oxygen and nutrients and your brain focuses on work to lose weight. You feel like a push sugar? Drink water!

You refrains from taking other things: However good it is water alone is much better when you compare it with other beverages, such as soda or coffee. For example, carbonated water swollen belly, alcohol and coffee dehydrate steals energy. What better than water?

My Diet Secret



By: Craig Ballantyne, CTT

I'm not a "low-carb guy" by any means, but I have found something that works wonders for fat loss. And it does involve cutting back on whole-grains.
Back in December, I substituted more fruits and vegetables for any whole-grains in my diet, and I was as lean as I've been in years with this approach. So if you're trying to lose fat and look better than ever this summer, try this approach.
Here are some easy changes to make.
a) Instead of having toast for breakfast, have an apple.
b) Usually have a side of rice at lunch? Have 1 cup of broccoli.
c) Typically have a bowl of cereal at night? Have an orange and an ounce of pecans (or walnuts or almonds), instead.
Think I'm out to lunch?
Check this study ...
(For science nerds like me, here's the reference: Amer. J. Clin.
Nutr. 85: 1465-1477, 2007.)
Woman on a low-fat diet that ate more fruits and vegetables lost
more fat than another group of woman on only the low-fat diet.
After 1-year, the low-fat, fruits and vegetables group (LF-FV) lost more weight than another group of woman on the low-fat (LF) diet only.
Why?
The LF-FV group reported being less hungry, thanks to being able to eat more food than the LF group.
So you'll eat fewer calories if you are filling up on fruits and
vegetables, while keeping un-necessary fat out of the diet.
And isn't the summer a great time to implement this program? With watermelon, berries, apples, and cherries all in great abundance, you can satisfy your sweet tooth naturally, while burning fat with the Turbulence Training fat loss workouts at home.
