No Joke!
I have a cousin who wanted to shed her extra pounds. She rigorously dieted for a few months and succeeded. I met her later on during a marriage and was delighted to find her leaner and happier. But after the sumptuous lunch at the marriage, she threw up being unable to tolerate the “large” quantity of food. If only she had known the easier ways to check and lose weight. Losing weight should not be a tedious task and it should not make you look old and unhealthy.
Water helps in many ways. You know that water facilitates the removal of waste and toxins from the body. Drinking sufficient water would remove any extra fat deposit from your body. Water helps the functions of both kidney and liver. Kidney will not function properly without water and will pass on its load of work to its comrade, the liver. Liver is much like us, humans. It cracks under pressure. With so much workload, liver will fail to metabolize all the fat and store up some much of it in the body. Drinking less water means dehydration which in turn means water retention or oedema. Though small but metabolism rate does increase with an increase in the water intake. In fact, you get to burn 3% of calories without actually doing anything.
To watch on how much you eat, drink a glass of water before meals. If you drink a glass of water before your lunch, you end up eating less. It will fill your tummy and will also act as an appetite suppressant. By drinking water during a meal you are in fact aiding your digestion and bowel movements and are preventing constipation.
Drink 8-12 glasses of plain water a day to maintain your weight on the long run. Read more tips on weight loss and have fun losing weight!
