All Water Diet Can Help You Lose Weight

Water Diet does exist. Many people look far and wide for the most effective weight loss plan available, but the truth is, there is no need to crash diet, to starve yourself, or to take the risk of diet pill side effects to lose weight – all water diet can be the solution.

Yes, it is hard to exercise and to maintain a healthy diet, and even though they are effective, they make the road to weight loss a little too long. Thankfully, you can get help from the planet’s most abundant substance: water. So if you find yourself eating all the right foods and exercising right but still have a few pounds left to shed, you probably just need to increase your water intake.

We all know what health experts say: drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. Most of us take this advice for granted, not knowing the full benefits the water diet has in store.

Water Diet Boosts Metabolism

Water hydrates the body and keeps your organs and muscles working at their peak states. It is basically the body’s fuel. Here’s just one example of how important water is to the body and how it can contribute to weight loss. Water is essential for the kidneys to work properly. If the kidneys do not get enough water, it won’t work well, leaving the liver to do all the work in metabolizing fats in the body. This makes it hard for the liver to do its job 100% right, so it doesn’t metabolize all the fats. Instead, the excess fats get stored up, resulting in weight gain.

In other words, water diet boosts your metabolism, helping your body convert fat into energy faster. Thus, water helps you lose unwanted weight and maintain your peak energy at the same time. According to studies, increased water intake can make your metabolism burn calories up to 3% faster.

Water Diet Keeps Hunger at Bay

When you feel thirsty, you also tend to feel hungry. So if you don’t get enough water, the more tempted you will be to binge and eat larger meals. But if you drink water regularly, you won’t feel hungry as often, making it easier for you to control your weight.

This is also why water diet advocates recommend drinking a glass of water 15 minutes before meals and taking a few sips in between bites. The extra water makes you feel full, so you won’t be tempted to overeat.

Reminders on How to Make Your Water Diet Successful

Drinking more water alone cannot help you lose weight. Remember that water only helps your body burn fat faster and helps you control your portions. But to really lose weight, you also need to eat the right foods and to exercise.

Aside from regular water, there is also Alkaline water which is said to be less acidic and can help if you are on alkaline diet.

Also, drinking more water than you’re used to may at first be difficult to adjust to. You will probably find yourself running to the bathroom more often. Some people get discouraged by this, but instead of taking it negatively, you should actually welcome the change. After all, it’s not water leaving your body. Having to go to the bathroom more often means that your body is flushing out more toxins, those that your body has been storing all these years, as well as the extra water it’s been holding on to, those that accumulate around your ankles and thighs. So just hang in there; as your body gets used to your new water diet, you will be going to the bathroom less.
