The Importance of Drinking Water in Weight Loss
By Michelle Vaughan, excerpt from her book “Secrets to Successful Weight Loss”
To some people, it may seem that drinking water will only add to your weight instead of helping to decrease it. This, however, is definitely not always the case. It actually depends on how much water you drink.
Many people, thinking that water will only increase their weight, tend to drink very little water. When you do this, your body holds on to that water, because it knows that no more is coming, and by doing adds the water weight to your regular body weight.
On the other hand, there is also such thing as going overboard with water consumption, which completely washes out your insides, and isn’t good for you at all.
A good amount of water to drink is about 3L (litres) daily, if you exercise averagely; however, for someone who exercises very often and a lot, then 4 L is a good average.
Also, drinking water at mealtimes washes all the nutrients away before your stomach has a chance to digest them. Water helps to clean out your system, which is one of the main reasons why it is so important to drink it. Remember: 1) not drinking enough water will cause your body to hold on to the water weight, 2) drinking too much water is unhealthy—it completely flushes your system, 3) drinking water at mealtimes washes away all the food you’ve eaten before it gets digested, and finally, 4) drinking water is very, very important.
