Tip #1) Drink Water. Plenty of it.

Water is the source of livelihood – and is one of the key elements required to lose weight. Your body needs a whole lot of water for its daily functions, as you know. Water keeps you away from being de-hydrated, flushes all toxins of your body, and makes you feel healthier and better. How do I calculate the amount of water I need to drink daily? Simple – Multiply your weight (in lbs) by .66, you'll get your daily required consumption in ounces. Convert it to liters, and you're done. For example, if you weight 200 lbs, you need to consume 132 ounces of water daily – which is about 3.9 liters. The best thing about water is that – it contains no calories at all. You can drink as much as you want – and you wont have the feeling as if you're starving to death. The next time you think you're hungry, drink water first – you may realize you weren't hungry in the first place, just de-hydrated. Of course, water here does not include sodas or juices – just plain water!



Tip #2) Drink Water as soon as you wake up.

Drinking water is the first thing you should do in the morning. It will not only avoid dehydration, but it also serves as a stimulant & lubricant for the digestive juices in your body. Of course, you can have a cup of tea or coffee before, but make sure you have water afterwards.

Tip #3) Drink water before lunch or dinner.

Actually, you should have a glass of water before you sit down to eat anything! It will make you feel less hungry and thus help you in your quest of losing weight.



Tip #4) Drink water while eating.

Regardless of what others say, drinking water after each bite will make you feel full quickly – thus helping you to leave the table satisfied without eating much. Now, I'm not saying that you should use water to help you swallow every bite – not at all. Drink water after swallowing food. Using water to swallow food will only make the matter worse.
