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 will simply not get the full weight loss effect 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. The 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 as well as metabolizing the fat we need to burn.
When on The 2 Week Diet, you will lose water weight along with body fat. Remember, water weight is still weight and partly responsible for your body bloating and tight fitting clothes. The 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 filter, flushing out our dead cells and waste. Because you are burning a great deal of fat during The 2 Week Diet, you will need ample water to help flush out the by-product waste of fat burning.
You will find that when you restrict the amount of carbohydrates you eat and increase the amount of water you drink, your body stops storing water and will begin to use it more effectively. This results in a lighter and “cleaner” body. My advice is to drink 8-10 glasses of water every single day. This amounts to about half a gallon of water.
This may seem like a lot of water at first and you may have to actually force yourself to drink that much in the beginning. 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 find that your body will not retain water, but will instead use it to flush your
system keeping it clean and functioning right.
