How to Lose Weight, Part II
How to lose weight? It's rather simple, just eat less food. But there is another factor. Water!
A new study shows that drinking more water will help you lose weight faster.
If you are not drinking enough water with your weight-control product and staying hydrated it is likely you will not be getting the results you expect.
Since most people are borderline dehydrated to start with anyway and not aware enough of their bodies to know this, their weight-control products, which often need lots of water for activation, will not produce the expected and desired results!
According to Dr. Mercola, a respected member of the health and wellness community, a new study has found that obese dieters, who drank two cups of water before each meal, lost 5 pounds more, after three months, than dieters not drinking two, pre-meal cups of water.
The dieting technique is well known, but this study may be the first hard evidence that increasing your water intake is a useful weight-loss strategy.
Discovery News reported, "The reason could be physical. According to some research, water consumption might spark the body to produce more heat, boosting metabolism and burning more calories. Or, drinking more water might simply make people less likely to drink a lot of high-calorie sugar-filled beverages."
Dr. Mercola stated, "You can actually survive without food for months, but without water you'd die after a few days, so needless to say, water is absolutely essential to life. Every day you lose water from your body through urine and sweat, and this needs to be replenished."
If you don't drink enough, you can easily become dehydrated, and as you may have experienced, dehydration often mimics hunger. If you're eating plenty of nutritionally balanced foods and you still feel hungry, it could very well be the case that you need a drink of water to fill you up.
This is actually a solid strategy you can use even before you eat a meal, as research shows that drinking two cups of water before each meal will help you lose more weight.
Whether the water works by physically filling you up, boosting your metabolism or simply taking the place of sugary drinks like juice and soda, isn't yet known, but it's really a moot point. The key point to remember if you're trying to lose weight is that pure water may be thesecret weapon for fighting off cravings and reducing hunger that you've been looking for.
Even beyond weight loss, chronic dehydration from not drinking enough water has been linked to an astounding number of conditions rangingfrom chronic fatigue syndrome and depression to hypertension, multiple sclerosis and asthma, according to Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj.
Dr. Batmanghelidj is the author of the phenomenal book, "Your Body's Many Cries for Water". I highly recommend it to learn more about water (nature's miracle medicine - as Dr. Batmanghelidj calls it) and why it is so essential for optimal health.
If you're trying to lose weight, stop drinking soda, fruit juice, sports drinks, and other sugar-laden, high-calorie beverages. For those who have struggled with their weight for years -- watching their diets, avoiding fat and counting calories, yet not getting anywhere andwondering what they're doing wrong -- you need to pay very close attention to this issue. In many cases the primary culprit may be the excessive intake of hidden sugar in the form of corn syrup, or high fructose corn syrup, which is a main ingredient in soda, as well as countless processed and pre-packaged foods.
It's extremely easy to consume high amounts of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) on a daily basis, especially if you drink sodas or any other sweetened beverages such as iced-teas and fruit juices.
Even seemingly healthy beverages, such as Vitamin Water, Jamba Juice and Odwalla SuperFood, contain far more added sugar and/or fructose than many desserts!
So it's time to realize that dietary fat does not make you fat. Fructose does.
As Professor Hoebel, a specialist in the neuroscience of appetite, weight and sugar addiction, reported in Science Daily: "Some people have claimed that high-fructose corn syrup is no different than other sweeteners when it comes to weight gain and obesity, but our results make it clear that this just isn't true, at least under the conditions of our tests. When rats are drinking high-fructose corn syrup at levels well below those in soda pop, they're becoming obese -- every single one, across the board. Even when rats are fed a high-fat diet, you don't see this; they don't all gain extra weight."
Soda is definitely a problem if you're trying to lose weight (drinking a single can a day translates to more than a pound of weight gain every month) but it is not the only beverage you need to cut from your dietary repertoire.
Although often regarded as healthy, fruit juice typically contains very high concentrations of fructose, which will cause your insulin to spike and may counter the benefits of the antioxidants it contains. This is particularly true for nearly all commercial juices. In addition, commercial, processed juices liberate methanol, which is metabolized to formaldehyde in your brain. Fresh juice is better for you. It is more nutritious and does not liberate methanol.
Anyone with insulin resistance, which is 80% of the public, should avoid fructose. If you don't have insulin resistance, limiting the total grams of fructose to less than 25 grams is smart.
Previous studies have already clearly demonstrated that drinking large amounts of juice dramatically increases the risk of obesity. Children are at particular risk here, since so many children are given juice whenever they're thirsty instead of plain water. For example, research has revealed that three and four year olds, who are slightly overweight, and drink just one to two sweet drinks a day, double their risk of becoming seriously overweight just one year later.
Thus, if you want to lose weight, you should cut fruit juice, soda, and other sweetened beverages from your diet.
Fructose will not only pack on extra pounds faster than other ingredients, including other sugars, it promotes a particularly dangerous kind of body fat, one that collects in your abdominal region and is associated with heart disease.
Once you've made the switch to pure water, your next question may be how much water is necessary?
If you are healthy, then drinking whenever you feel thirsty should be an adequate guide of how much water you need, but I encourage you to use this simple trick to gauge whether your water intake is sufficient: You will want to make sure you drink enough clean pure water to turn your urine a light color of yellow. Dark yellow urine is a sign that you need to drink more water.
If it's hot outside or you are engaged in exercise or other vigorous activity, you will require more water than normal. Additionally, as you grow older your thirst mechanism works less efficiently so older adults will want to be sure to drink water regularly, and again make sure your urine is a light, pale color.
Making the simple decision to drink water instead of sugary drinks will assist your weight-loss goals.
And, don't forget to exercise!
And, one last point: In the related area of appetite and weight control products, experts agree that these can be divided into 5 groups,
based on the mechanisms of action:
1. increasing energy expenditure;
2. modulating carbohydrate metabolism;
3. increasing satiety or suppressing appetite;
4. increasing fat oxidation or reducing fat synthesis;
5. blocking dietary fat absorption.
You should choose a weight-loss or appetite control product that contains chemical-free ingredients and one that is not loaded with caffeine or caffeine-like stimulants. Pills that are laced with chemicals, from chemical extraction methods, and loaded with caffeine, will leave you jittery and exhausted at the end of the day. It's not worth it!
From a selling perspective, the Holy Grail is doing an effective demonstration. If you can honestly demonstrate to a client or a customer that your product works and does what it is advertised to do, then both you and your product become acceptable and believable. If you have lost weight using your product, and are happy with it and not a jittery mass of nerves, then you become a walking example of your product's effectiveness, in essence, a living, breathing demonstration!
At that point, it is easy to close the sale - or at the very least, get your client started with some free samples!
And so your network will grow.
