Drinking Water Helps You Lose Body Fat

Water is the best thing anybody can put into their body. Drinking water is vital to your health and you can gain a tremendous amount of benefits.

Depending on you body size, the human body is anywhere from 55% to 78% water. Every cell in your body needs water from head to toe in order to function. That is why it is so important to drink enough fluid.

A lot of people are walking around today dehydrated and don’t even know it. Sodas, coffee and sugary drinks don’t make up your consumption of pure water. Those items I just mention actually contribute to dehydration.

There are a few key things that water does to help you lose weight. It flushes down the by- products of fat breakdown, reduces hunger and is a very effective natural appetite suppressant so that you will eat less. Plus water has Zero calories.

Did you know that insufficient of water can lead to over eating? If there is a slight dehydration in the body, the thirst mechanism may mistake it for hunger and one may eat when the body is actually craving for water.

Water is Zero calories and will make you full. This means you'll eat less and feel less hungry. Did you know that if a person increases his water consumption by 1.5 liters a day, you will burn an extra 17,400 calories, for a weight loss of 5 pounds? Increase metabolism means increase the calorie burn and fat loss. This is how you can achieve fat loss by drinking water.

If you drink 8oz of water before each meal, wait 30 minutes and eat. You will notice that you will eat less, therefore taken in fewer calories. Since the water suppresses your appetite naturally it will help with your weight loss. I tried this and it really work. Being consistent is the key to seeing results.
