WATER
Most people I know are guilty of not drinking enough water. Drinking adequate amounts of every
day is absolutely essential for weight loss. If you don’t drink enough water, you simply will not get
the full weight loss bene #ts that you’re after.
Water helps your kidneys work at full capacity. When your kidneys aren’t working at full capacity,
the liver needs to help out. !e problem with this is that the liver is responsible for metabolizing
fat in your body. When your liver is helping out the kidneys, it can’t do its job at full capacity as
far as metabolizing the fat we need to burn.
When on the 3 Week Diet, you will lose water weight along with body fat. Remember, water
weight is still weight and partly responsible for bloat and tight #tting clothes. !e fact is, carbohydrates are hydrophilic (which means they cause water retention) and water retention is not
something we want. Protein, on the other hand, encourages water to be released from the body.
Once you restrict your carbohydrate intake, you will begin to let loose of that stagnant water that
is being stored in your body. Because of this, it is essential that you consume enough water every
day to avoid dehydration. Further, water acts your body’s #lter, "ushing our dead cells and waste.
Because you are burning a great deal of fat during the 3 Week Diet, you will need ample water to
help "ush out the by-product waste of fat burning.
You will #nd that when you restrict the amount of carbohydrates you eat and increase the amount
of water you drink, your body stop storing water and will use it more e $ectively. !is results in a
lighter and “cleaner” body.
My advice is to drink 8-10 glasses of water every single day. !is amounts to about a half gallon
or water. !is may seem like a lot of water at #rst and you may have to actually force yourself to
drink that much. However, once you do this for a while, you will regain your natural thirst and
actually be thirsty for this much water every single day. And again, once you begin drinking this
much water, you will #nd that your body will not retain water, but will instead use it to "ush your
system keeping it clean and functioning right ....
