Drinking Water-Helps weight loss

One of the simpliest ways to lose weight is the simple act of drinking more water that can help you lose weight. Here's how. WHY water is so important. It all has to do with your liver. One of the main jobs of the liver is to convert stored fat into energy. That's a good thing. But your liver also helps out the kidneys when they are having some trouble. And when you are not drinking enough water, your kidneys need a hand, so your liver helps out. But now, your liver is taking away it's focus on turning your fat into energy and... well, you see where I am going with this one. It makes you fatter. Period. You might have tried to drink more water before and felt yourself going to the bathroom non-stop. That's only temporary and it's actually a good thing. It's your cells releasing all the excess water in your body. Soon, it will slow down as you body beings to realize it will continue to get more water. So try my previous recommendations. A cup of water for every 15 pounds of bodyweight. It's not a magic formula, but I found it works well for me and my clients. And just as important, have a big glass of water first thing when you wake up. You get dehydrated when you are sleeping, so it's the perfect way to rehydrate right away. Ryan
