Drink Up to Lose Weight

Drink More Water

We’ve all heard that we should drink plenty of water. The benefits are well known. Water removes toxins from your system by flushing out all the bad stuff, it keeps our muscles hydrated and supple and improves skin tone and elasticity. But did you know that water helps your body burn calories?  Even at low levels of dehydration, your metabolism slows down and uses fewer calories. Studies have shown that people who drink eight or more glasses of water every day burn far more calories than those who drank four or less glasses per day.

Water also helps you lose weight by controlling your hunger and filling you up. Try drinking a glass of water or iced tea 10 minutes before every meal or snack. You’ll eat less and consume fewer calories, both which will help your weight loss efforts.

Eat This and Lose Weight

Need a great idea for a healthy lunch that can help you lose weight? Try Soup!

Soup can help you lose weight because it fills you up and contains very few calories, plus it keeps you feeling full for several hours. Studies have shown that people who eat soup every day lose more weight that people who choose other foods with a similar number of calories. In fact, people who enjoyed just two servings of soup a day lost an extra 16 pounds a year!

How to eat it

Choose broth based soups with lots of veggies and some protein - like Chicken and Rice with vegetables, Tomato Basil or Egg Drop Soup. Skip the heavy cream based soups like Cheese Beer and Cream of Mushroom. Making your own soup with homemade stock and fresh veggies is a delicious way to spend some time in the kitchen, but if you are short on time, canned soups are fine, too. Just look for low-sodium varieties of your favorites.

Enjoy!

Lose More Weight by Drinking Water

Thirsty? Skip the diet pop and head for the faucet.

Did you know that people who drink diet pop are 30% more likely to become overweight? Want a better way to cool down and refresh? Drink water.

Researchers have found that drinking water speeds weight loss by increasing metabolic rates by as much as 30%. Water also helps to curb hunger by filling you up, preventing you from consuming empty calories in the form of high calorie soda and juice. As a bonus, water gives you a leg up in the battle of the bulge by flushing out your system, removing toxins and impurities and helping your body function more efficiently.

Try to drink at least 8 - 8oz glasses of water a day and be sure to indulge in an extra glass right before you eat. You’ll feel fuller, consume fewer calories and lose weight naturally and easily!
