Water & Weight Loss: What's the Connection?

Drink Water: Try to drink at least 1 gallon of water per day

The body needs alot of water in order to maintain its daily functions efficiently. In addition, water helps to flush out harmful toxins, as well as prime the body for fat loss. And with over 70% of your muscle being made up of water, drinking adequate amounts of water helps to give your muscle that full, pumped look.

If your body isnt getting enough water, it does everything it can to hold on to the water it does have causing excess water weight or bloating. And the way to get rid of the excess water, believe it or not is to take in more water! This will rid you of that excess water weight that bloats you, begin to help your body run more efficiently and prepare your body for dropping excess body fat.

In addition, the body needs to heat up this water in order to be able to use it properly and doing so takes energy, or calories. So drink cold water! It doesn’t seem like much, but in addition to all of the other benefits of taking in enough water by drinking ice cold water, you can drop almost a full pound of fat each month or 12 pounds per year!
