We all like to watch the number on the scale go down when our goal is to lose weight. However, it is important you drink adequate amounts of water throughout the day, every day, in order to burn fat and maximize your weight loss. This cannot be overemphasized enough. Let me tell you why water helps to burn fat. I am sure you will all go get a glass or bottle of water after reading this.
TIP: one large sip of water is equal to about an ounce of water. For me, it is a tad under an ounce. When I drink ten sips of water (these are good-size sips) I know I am getting about eight to ten ounces of water and I do not have to measure it out. Since I aim for at least 120 ounces of water per day (more if I am exercising or playing a sport) this knowledge makes it easy for me to calculate. Fifteen or twenty sips of water during or before each meal and I am set each day.
Your body’s fat-burning super organ is the liver. The liver is also a multitasking organ. When the kidneys need help in the filtration process, they call on the liver for assistance. This is a concern if you want to burn more calories and more body fat. Every minute the liver spends helping gout the kidneys is one minute the liver is not spending doing its real job which is to help the body burn fat.
Since the kidneys are assisted tremendously by adequate water intake, the key to keeping this relationship between the liver and kidneys happy is to drink sufficient amounts of water.
You do not have to overdo the water. You can actually damage your body if you drink too much water at one time. Spacing water out over the day and getting about one quart for every 50-75 pounds of body weight is absolutely vital to the fat-burning, weight loss process – and that is far less than the average person is drinking. On the WeightLossVillage program you will be encouraged to drink water in between your meals so that you can take advantage of the fat burning power of water.
