Water - It Can Help Bust That Gut

Water - It Can Help Bust That Gut
By Valene Dubbelman

Everyone has all these weight loss gimmicks and they promote them all over the internet and the tv but no one ever says that water the most important substance our body needs can help with weight loss. Most people don't drink enough water and they are carrying around a few more pounds than they need to. Water can help git rid of belly fat. The liver is the one that does most of the metabolizing of fat when it coverts it to energy. It will also have to help out the kidneys when they are not working properly. The kidneys need a lot of water to work efficiently and the liver will have to kick in and help them out if they are water deprived. You end up storing fat because neither organ will be able to assimilate all of the fat.

A lot of people cannot stand the taste of plain water and so will not drink enough. If you decide to add water to your arsenal of gut busting then being prepared will help you out. During the first few days you will be going to the bathroom a lot more. The body is just flushing out all the excess water that it had been storing all these years. The body thinks that it is in starvation and dehydration mode and so will store water in excess places such as the thighs, ankles and stomach. Once you get your body normalized then the excess trips to the bathroom will cease.

Eight glasses of water a day is only about 2 quarts and it should be stretched out through the day. If you live in a hot area then you should drink more and if you are overweight you should drink 8 ounces for every 25 pounds you are over your ideal weight. If you wait till you feel thirsty then you have become dehydrated. Drink throughout the day.

If you don't like the taste put some lemon or lime slices into your glass or try one of the flavored waters but make sure that there are no added sugars. Don't drink about 3 hours before going to bed. Don't drink coffee or cokes and other sugar laden drinks. Caffeine is a diuretic and will make your body push out excess water and then it will start storing water in the tissues again. Drinking plenty of water will help to get rid of belly fat and other areas that are storing fat and will be one more aid in your arsenal of weapons against extra flab.
