Although most of us take it for granted, water may be the only true ’magic potion’ for permanent weight loss. Water suppresses the appetite and helps the body metabolize stored fat.

A decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits.

  • The kidneys cannot function properly without enough water.
  • When they do not work to capacity, some of the load is dumped onto the liver.
  • One of the liver’s primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But if the liver has to do some of the kidney’s work, it cannot work at full throttle.
  • As a result, it metabolizes less fat; more fat remains stored in the body and weight loss stops.
  • Drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid retention.
  • When the body gets less water, it perceives this a threat to survival and begins to hold on to every drop. Water is stored in extra cellular spaces (outside the cell). This shows up as swollen feet, hands, and legs.
  • The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give your body what it needs – plenty of water. Only then will stored water be released. If you have a constant problem with water retention, excess salt may be to blame. The more salt you eat, the more water your system retains to dilute it.
  • But getting rid of unneeded salt is easy – just drink more water. As it is forced through the kidneys, it takes away excess sodium.
  • The overweight person needs more water than the thin one. Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that water is the key to fat metabolism, it follows that the overweight person needs more water.
  • Water helps maintain proper muscle tone by giving muscles their natural ability to contract and by preventing dehydration.
  • It also helps prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weight loss.
  • Shrinking cells are buoyed by water which plumps the skin and leaves it clear, healthy and resilient.
  • Water helps rid the body of waste.
  • During weight loss, the body has a lot more waste to get rid of – all that metabolized fat must be shed. Again, adequate water helps flush out the waste.
  • Water can help relieve constipation. When the body gets too little water, it siphons what it needs from internal sources. The colon is one primary source. Result? Constipation. But, when a person drinks enough water, normal bowel function returns.
  • How much water is enough? On the average, a person should drink eight (250ml) glasses every day.
  • The overweight person needs one additional glass for every 12kg of excess weight. The amount that you drink should be increased if you exercise or if the weather is hot and dry. Water should preferably be cold – it is absorbed more quickly into the system than warm water.

To utilize water most efficiently during weight loss, follow this schedule:

  • Morning: One liter consumed over a 30 minute period
  • Noon: One liter consumed over a thirty minute period
  • Evening: One liter consumed in the early evening between 5:00&8:00 PM.
