Weight Loss: More Water
Monday, October 22, 2007

Whenever the digital scale starts creeping up - I drink more water. I do this to make it easier for me to lose weight.

By the way, the digital scale is a remarkable thing! I love its accuracy. On the older models, it looks like one has gained a pound overnight. Not so! You get to see down to ounce (or kilograms) how much food is still sitting in your body.

It may seem that drinking water would make one heavier the next day, but let's look at it this way: the body needs help eliminating wastes.

I maintain a relatively flat stomach this way. The best advice I read was that your urine should be clear, not thick and almost syrupy.

I drink a few glasses of water before I begin to eat. I'm less hungry when I do this and feel full sooner.

We are made up of a lot of water, over 90%. Make sure the body is getting all the liquids it needs.
