| Water, the ultimate weight loss secret |
Water is a vital key to weight loss, and it's not
just because it fills your stomach so that you aren't
as hungry. Yes you will eat less, as thirst signals
often feel like hunger and so by increasing your water
intake, you will satisfy those without taking in unnecessary
calories. But there is more to its weight loss effects
than that.
Your liver is what metabolizes fat. If your liver
isn't functioning efficiently, the excess fat has to
be stored until it can get around to it (read: saddlebags,
gut, big bottom, flabby arms that keep waving after
you stop, etc). |
Your kidneys are what filter out toxins, a process
that is vital to keeping your body healthy. If you
don't drink enough water to keep your kidneys flushed
out and filtering properly, your liver will set aside
a lot of its fat metabolizing, so as to help the kidneys
with their filtration. Toxins are poison, so it's higher
on your body's priority list to get those filtered
out and excreted than to process your fat. It's in
your best interest to get those kidneys doing their
job by themselves so that your liver can get back to
doing what is important to the size of your waistline.
What all that boils down to is that the less water
you drink, the more your metabolism will be reduced
because your body has more important things to do.
If you want to get that metabolism ramped back up to
where it's supposed to be, you have to work with your
body and give it all the flushing, cleansing water
it needs.
In addition, if your muscles are well hydrated, they
will perform better, which translates into more calories
burned 24 hours a day (again, higher metabolism).
And one more thing, if you are losing weight right
now, then all the fat that is dissolving contains toxins
that now your body must deal with.
Please please be kind to your body and flush those
kidneys with plenty of clean water so that you can
excrete all that junk out of your system.
Drink, drink, and drink some more. Work with your
body and it will function beautifully the way that
it was intended to. A vibrant healthy glowing body
is a sexy body.
