Change Your Thinking it May be Just What You Need to Lose Weight

And for many, if weight loss isn't experienced right away, all hope is lost and it's back to inactivity and poor nutrition.

The body reacts to weight loss as if it were starving and, in response, slows its metabolism.

When your metabolism slows, you burn fewer calories -- even at rest. So it makes it almost impossible to lose weight.

If you continue to take in fewer calories, you will either stop losing weight as quickly as you have been, or you'll stop losing weight altogether.

After starvation diets, eating under 1400 calorie per day diets, when you increase your calorie consumption, you may actually gain weight more quickly than you have in the past.

The solution is to increase your physical activity & eat 5 small nutritious meals a day. (Skip sugar, white flour and empty calories that don't fuel your body & help you to stay healthy)

Doing so will counteract the metabolic slowdown caused by reducing calories. A regular schedule of exercise raises not only your energy expenditure while you are exercising but also your resting energy expenditure -- the rate at which you burn calories even when the workout is over and you are resting.

What I'm about to share with you can almost instantly, accelerate fat loss, promote muscle development & strengthening and prolong aerobic capability. Chances are that you are already using it, but not in correct amounts.

Want to know what it is?
It is WATER!
Now, you may say that: ”You aren’t telling me something new.
What you should know about water is that:
• Every physiological process in your body depends on water.
• Dehydration decreases endurance, strength and physical performance.
• Without enough water the body can’t “burn” body fat as efficiently as normally. When dehydrated, the body tries to hold on to as much water as possible. When this happens, the body’s waste products can’t be eliminated and the kidneys become overwhelmed. At this point the liver starts to help remove these waste products, neglecting its own job which includes using stored body fat for energy.
• Water is especially important on moderate to high protein diets. Processing protein produces much metabolic waste that the kidneys can’t remove completely without enough water.
• Drinking lots of water does not make you retain water. In fact the body only retains water when it does not receive enough water.
• Water is the only zero calorie liquid and the only one that properly hydrates you. You should not drink any other liquids for the two reasons above.
The best way to figure out the amount of water you should drink per day is by drinking between 1 ml and 1.5 ml per calorie consumed. (Water intake in liters) = (total energy expenditure) X (1 or 1.5) Do not drop water consumption below the recommended 8 to 10 glasses per day (that’s about 2 liters per day).  More information at http://www.pjwatersforlife.com
