Water is a natural appetite suppressant which contains zero calories!!!
Our bodies need it, thrive on it and actually lose weight by it. The more water you drink, the less you will eat. A large glass of water 15 minutes before a meal will cause you to feel full and therefore eat less. Also, if he water is icey, it may cause a slight shrinkage in your stomach, also causing you to eat less.
(If you feel you are overweight, instead of drinking just 6-8 glasses of water per day, drink an additional glass for every 12 kilograms of excess weight.)
Restricting water intake will cause the body to think it is in danger of dehydration and starts immediately to store all the water that it can between the cells. This causes swelling of the limbs and shows up on the scale as EXTRA WEIGHT!!!
On the other hand, if you do drink sufficient water, the body will release that stored water. The new will flush out the old.
Actually, you need water for your body to burn fat:
· Without water your kidneys do not function well
· The liver must step in to help
· While the liver is helping the kidney do its job, it cannot burn as much fat as necessary for use as fuel in its original task, therefore that fat gets stored in your body.
