Water Water Everywhere
Why not stop n Drink!!!
Kim Beardsmore writes- "If I were asked, "what is the most difficult thing many people find to do when they start a weight-loss program?", I would have to say right near the top of the list is this - they don't drink enough water!"
Though three-fourth of our planet is water, we yet do not sit back to think why it is so? Yes, because it is a valuable resource for us...it serves all the aspects of life, cures us from innumerable diseases, quenches our thirst and most important to the fitness-freaks...it is an absolute MUST for any weight reducing plan!
Here is Dr Batmanghelidj M.D advice on loosing weight:
Collecting and storing fat
Losing weight through proper hydration of the body and exercise is more prudent than drastic dieting. Complications of drastic dieting and focusing only on the readings of the weight scale can cause an unbalanced intake of essential ingredients and precipitate deficiency diseases. The good think about water as the primary source of clean energy is the fact that any excess is passed out in the form of urine. Fat, on the other hand, has to be burned through many steps until it is converted to carbon dioxide and passed out in the lungs.
The experts suggest on an average, to drink 8 glasses of water everyday. amount. This is okay for the average person, but if you're overweight, you should drink another eight ounces for every 25 pounds of excess weight you carry. You should also up this if you live in a hot climate or exercise very intensely.This water consumption should be spread out throughout the day. It's not healthy at all to drink too much water at one time. Try to pick three or four times a day when you can have a big glass of water, and then sip in between. Don't let yourself get thirsty. If you feel thirsty, you're already becoming dehydrated. Drink when you're not thirsty yet.
It is important to note that water is a natural appetite suppressant . Lack of water can lead to over eating. You brain does not differentiate between hunger and thirst. So, when you think you are feeling hungry, your body may in fact be signalling to you that you are thirsty! If you are not consuming enough water each day and you feel hunger pains, chances are, your body really is craving for water. In many instances people will find what they thought were hunger pangs were in fact, satisfied by water. Try it! You have nothing to lose, except some weight. To ensure a well-hydrated body, you should also try to consume more of liquids like juices, soups and herbal tea.
So to begin with, on your weight-loss regime, just start with introducing plenty of water to you routine. It may seem uncomfortable in the beginning, but soon your body would get used to this good habit. The reward will be evident not only in the reducing waist-line but also the immense glow it can bring to your skin!
One more important thing...our weight-loss plans mostly fail not because of lack of effort we put in it, it is rather on the contrary. Too much of conscious effort all of a sudden does not go well with a long term plan. So, when you begin with water-watch plan, let it settle completely in your habit(for 2 to 3 weeks) and then only introduce the next set of food-regimen to follow. This style of working will be doubly beneficial for you. First, you can have a watch at the effect that sufficient water-intake has exclusively produced on your body. And secondly, a sincere effort being carried all along will help to raise your self-esteem and thus strengthen you determination to succeed!!
