About How You Can Start Losing Weight Super Easy
How to Lose Weight with Drinks
First and foremost, people don't
realize that what they drink is the first step in losing that first 10 pounds.
In fact, most people don't know that when they feel hungry, they may actually
be dehydrated and they are really thirsty, not hungry. Water is remarkable as
well. Over 66% of your body weight is nothing but water. This is also why water
plays an important role in weight control. So TIP #1 is:
Drink plenty of water. It is
recommended that you drink 8 glasses per day, but that may take you some time to
work up to. Your body needs a whole lot of water. Water doesn't just flush all
the toxins out of your body, but it makes you feel better and healthier. When
you drink a lot of water you just begin to feel fit and this is the motivation
you need to lose weight.
The best thing about water is you
can drink as much as you want because it has no calories at all. When you're
drinking a lot of water, you eat less as well because you won't feel as though
you are starving to death. Remember, if you feel hungry, try drinking a glass
of water first and you'll realize you were probably just dehydrated and not
hungry at all.
The whole 8 glasses a day rule is
really something you should strive for. The best way to do this and to measure
your water intake is to buy a jug from the drug store or grocery store that is
designed to hold exactly 8 glasses of water.
These are great weight loss tools because you can fill them
up, freeze them and as it melts throughout the day you have fresh and cold
water. Or, if you don't mind your water room temperature you can drink it that
way as well. All that matters is that you're getting in the water your body
needs.
Weight Loss Tips
TIP #2: Start off your day with a
fresh, clean glass of water. As soon as you get up in the morning, drink one
down. This will help your body to get going because it won't be fighting
through dehydration. Also, after you drink a glass of water you won't need to
eat such a large breakfast. A glass of water wakes up all the digestive juices
in your body and gets it well lubricated. You can always have your morning
coffee or tea, but be sure to have a glass of water afterwards. Caffeine
dehydrates you and you want to ward off dehydration.
TIP #3: Drink a glass of water
before you sit down to eat. Water will naturally make you feel fuller so you
don't have to eat as much food.
TIP #4: Have a glass of water
while you eat as well. Take a drink after each bite and you will feel full more
quickly so you can leave the table feeling satisfied without feeling bloated.
Drinking water while you eat will also help your food to settle more quickly,
which also helps you to feel full faster.
TIP #5: Do your best to stay away
from soda. All sodas are sweetened with lots of sugar. The more you can cut out
of your diet the better. Also, diet soda is still soda. It may not have as much
sugar, but it has other chemicals and components that are not good for your
body either. If you drink a soda, counteract it with a glass of water.
Remember, caffeine dehydrates you as well.
Decaffeinated sodas still have
caffeine in small amounts as well and just as much sugar, so they are not much
healthier either.
TIP #6: Fruit juice isn't as
healthy as most people think either. Juice actually has a lot of sugar in it as
well. If you are craving a glass of juice, drink fresh fruit juice instead of
juice that has artificial flavors and coloring. It is even better if you can
make your own fruit juice. Just be sure not to add too much sugar which adds to
the calories. Instead of drink fruit juice, eat more fruit. Fruit provides your
body with much needed fiber as well as vitamins.
TIP #7: Go easy on the tea and
coffee. They are pretty much harmless if you don't add a lot of cream and sugar
to them. It is the cream and sugar that becomes fattening. Think of it this
way, when you have a cup of coffee or tea with cream and two cubes of sugar,
you are essentially eating a piece of chocolate cake every time. Now think of
how many pieces of cake you are eating when you have a Venti Starbucks Latte –
yikes.
TIP #8: If you must have your tea
and coffee, try to drink it black. Black tea or coffee actually has health
benefits to it as long as you counteract the caffeine in your body with a nice
big glass of water. Caffeine is also not good for you because it affects functions
in your body, like your metabolism.
Another type of tea that you can
drink freely is green tea. Green tea has been used as a medicine in China for
over 4,000 years. It aids the digestive system and can help ease an overly full
stomach and it has been linked to a reduction in cancer risk.
TIP #9: If you can say no to
alcohol, then that is best. Alcohol beverages are not exactly good for you,
although a glass of red wine does have heart benefits, most are just fattening.
Beer is especially fattening. Cocktails are fattening depending on what they
are made of. For instance, whiskey and Coke. The whiskey may not be fattening,
but the Coke definitely is. Plus, after a few drinks most people get the
munchies and when you're feeling a little inebriated and hungry you won't be
able to make rational decisions regarding your diet and it's usually late at
night, just before you pass out from a night of drinking, that you overeat. The
overall combination is just not a good one.
TIP #10: If you must have alcohol,
try dry wine. Dry wine is better than your sweet wines, because sweet wines
have more sugar! Dry wines have sugar, but most of it has been fermented away
into alcohol and from a weight gaining perspective, dry is better.
TIP #11: Another word on coffee,
that is not necessarily bad, but more interesting than anything. Some people
have reported that when they drank black coffee before exercising, they lost
more weight. There's no scientific proof to back this, but nutritionists
believe it may be caused by the body being forced to depend on fat for fuel.
Hey, it's worth trying if you can stand black coffee. Just remember to drink
plenty of water during your exercise!
TIP #12: Avoid drinking excessive amounts of coffee, as it
desensitizes your body to the natural fat burning effects that caffeine has.
One or two cups (if the day's really slow to get started) max.
