Water is one of the most important nutrients that the human body needs. It uses water to keep hydrated, to keep itself clean of harmful toxins, to cool down, to help joint movement, and to make sure digestion follows through. The body also releases water through urination, sweating, and other methods. That is the reason why many professionals agree that two liters of water a day is a healthy limit. It is said that cutting down on how much food you take in is good, but you always need plenty of water.
As with most of your body’s functions, the metabolism is very dependent on water in order to work efficiently and correctly. If you are dehydrated, your metabolism slows down and doesn’t properly break down food. This means that too little calories are burnt and you don’t lose too as much weight as you could if you were hydrated.
Not to mention that not drinking enough water is an easy method to constipation!
Water can also help you lose weight. If you drink a tall glass of water before you eat a meal, you’ll eat less because water fills you up. This will suppress your appetite and will help you consume less food.
In order to receive the full effects of water, make sure you drink your two liters throughout the day. Spread out how much water you drink and do not drink all two liters at once.

Fat-Weight Loss Strategies – Don’t Let It be a Dream – You Too Can be Lean
I spent the last 20 years of my life to the Health & Fitness Nutrition. Having tried diets and feeding programs that operate for a short period, or simply do not serve at all. Through trial and error I found that there is no magic potion. No pill or training to be surprising given the results we all wanted. Of course there are lots of ads saying you can lose 20 pounds in two weeks. This is not the case. An exercise and sound nutrition program must be used to achieve weight management long life.
What I realized with my own weight loss goals is as follows: it is not going to the gym or working with a personal trainer three days a week you will achieve a certain level of capacity. There are critical steps that must be addressed and taken in an effort to lose weight (body fat) and keep it off forever.
Without these key steps can not reach fitness goals, period.
These are the steps that helped me lose over 130 pounds. Going from 322 lbs. with a 55-inch waist. Even my current weight of 188 pounds and a waist of 31 inches. DO NOT expect this to happen overnight.
Step 1)
Find a motivating factor to lose fat-weight:
This is something personal to you. Something that burning desire will one day after day. Its easy to achieve weight loss with a burning desire. Example: I have received photos back from a wedding that made me look like I’ve never worked a day in my life. I put in my fridge to remind me to choose my food wisely.
Step 2)
Establish short and long term achievable goals:
Remarkably, long-term goals first. Then create short-term goals that are easily achievable in the beginning. This will create the momentum. Make sure each time to set new goals that give more than one bet. You should always raise their standard car.
Step 3)
Discard food All Out rein in their goals:
This may be in the form of your favorite soft drink, candy, cakes, breads, enriched white bread, wheat bread enriched their favorite sugary cereal, etc. . . You know basically what is good and what is not. We are bombarded by both healthy and unhealthy food everyday. You must make your choice!
Step 4) Replace these unhealthy foods with healthy alternatives:
Foods like vegetables, beans, grains, low-fat dairy products, skim milk, and lean meats like chicken, fish, lean turkey, fruits and healthy fats, like himself, including almonds, cashews, natural peanut butter, oil canola oil, flaxseed oil, olive oil and peanut oil. Do not abuse these fats should be kept to a minimum.
Step 5) Start Slow. If you go out like a race horse you will not last long:
Slowly incorporate healthy foods into your diet. If you are not active stand 2 to 3 times a week 15 to 30 minutes for 2 weeks. Would you do this before starting a routine of strength training or high impact cardio. Remember to increase healthy eating and exercise as it gets easier for you. You should always consult your healthcare professional before starting any exercise program.
Step 6)
Persistence is the key:
We all have bad days where we eat unhealthy, sleep 5 hours or simply no motivation for exercise. If you are someone who comes into this category is important not to lose focus. Just start the next day with a clean slate. Decide you can create anything you could want. What are your past failures in the past. Before you know your body is ready for the beach!
