It's common sense ya'll !!!! The more water you drink the less room you have in there to fill up on calories. So it does aid in weight loss but it is also super good for you! A lot of times people think they’re hungry when in reality they’re just slightly dehydrated. If you’re staying hydrated, you’re less likely to mistake thirst for hunger.
How much water should you be drinking? It actually all depends on how much you weigh. Here is the simple math: Divide your weight in half, and that corresponds to the number of ounces of water per day you should be drinking. For example, a woman who weighs 135 pounds should be getting 67 ounces per day, or about eight glasses.
However, you also need to take into consideration your activity level and the temperature outside. If any of these are higher, then your water consumption should also be higher as well. If we’re losing water, you need to be replenishing it.
You shouldn’t wait until you feel thirsty to drink either. You can actually turn this into a habit by slowly adding the amount of water you drink now and adding a little bit more to that until you get to the right amount you should be consuming daily. Get ahead of the game, don't wait till you are thirsty to drink. Just like forming healthy eating habit this is a lifestyle shift or pre-meal ritual than a race to accomplish in a short amount of time.
Some ways I sneak it all in is: drinking a full glass of water every morning right after brushing my teeth. Drinking a full glass before every meal and snack. Drinking a full glass before bed. Drinking a bottle of workout during my workout for the day. Drinking a bottle of water each time a get in the car. Keeping a bootle of water on my desk as I work all day and sipping all day. It's super easy and as time goes on these tricks become habits into your daily routines.
If you’re not big on the taste of plain old water (hey, no judgment), summer is the perfect season to flavor it. Add fresh berries or slices of cucumber, lime, watermelon or grapefruit to a pitcher, and keep it on hand in the fridge.
Each month I also have a Water Challenge group too for 5 days!!! If you want in to put these habits into play.... just let me know!!! Would love to have to you <3
