Water for Weight Loss Last week we talked about colors. We talked about adding colors and adding fruits and vegetables. Those are the colours to your plate. Today, I want to talk about something else that can help you continue on to meet your health goals. Your weight loss goals, and your fitness goals for 2023.
You may still be working on those. I’m Debbie Harris. I’m the co-owner of Maynestreet Weight Loss on the Connecticut shoreline and we’re here to help you. So what are we going to do today? We’re going to talk about water. Sounds pretty simple, right? Water. Well, the thing is, most people don’t drink it and they don’t drink it in its natural form. What do I mean?
I mean not in the ice tea, not in the coffee or some other additive to the water. Most people simply don’t get enough. Now, I want you to think about that. I want you to start adding water. Why am I adding water? Well, first of all, it is going to fill you up if you’re hungry. If your stomach’s growling, get used to grabbing a glass or a cup of water or have your water bottle handy. Believe it or not, water will also help speed up your metabolism, your metabolism. So if you’re trying to lose weight, obviously that’s a good thing. Water is also flushing toxins out of your body. So every time you drink, think, okay I’m drinking water and toxins are leaving my body now.
There are some reasons I want you to start and again, what do we always say? You start here then you increase. Don’t just go for the, I’m going to have a gallon of water a day or I’m going to have two gallons of water. I don’t know how many glasses you’re drinking right now, but what I want you to shoot for is one litre per day, (about 34 ounces or about 5 8 oz glasses) okay? One litre per day. Start with a glass in the morning and throughout the day. Maybe set your phone for half hour or hour intervals, again to pick it up. And, remember I’m not talking about the coffee and the tea.
I’m talking about water. As always, put a comment with this video. If you need help reach out to us at Maynestreetweightloss.com and if you’re getting this in an email reply to this email. We’ll be sure to help you.
