Lose Belly Fat and Have Healthy Weight Loss With Earth Juice A.K.A. - Water Part 4

 LOSE WEIGHT

The number one reason, as far as we are concerned at this moment, for drinking water is to improve our chances of healthy weight loss and to lose belly fat.  There are a number of reasons that water affects our ability to lose weight.
•    Hunger often seems the number one enemy for a person who is attempting to shed those excess pounds and lose belly fat, but what we think of as hunger is not always what we think it is.  Often it is not that we are craving more food, but rather that the body is pleading for hydration.  Rather than reaching for the granola bar or cookies in the vending machine, it might be a better option to take a few more steps to the water cooler.  Water is, in essence the natural hunger suppressant and it also takes up room in the stomach, thus making a person feel fuller.   If a person stays properly hydrated – drinks at least eight glasses per day – then he or she is less likely to break the diet.
•    Cutting calories is always advantageous when dieting.  Beverages are an often overlooked source of excess calories.  A glass of fruit juice for instance contains between ninety and 160 calories.  Sodas can be even worse as far as calorie count is concerned.  Water can be substituted and contains no calories at all.  Thus it is an excellent aid in the fight to lose belly fat and healthy weight loss.
•    Believe it or not, water can even wash away fat deposits.  Increased water intake causes the body to rid itself of excess fat deposits (lose belly fat) that it stores as a defense mechanism.  Staying properly hydrated will also cause the body to stop storing water.  This results in less bloating and swelling in hands and feet.  Dehydration causes the body to go into survival mode – that means fat and water storage and also means that the body looks heavier as a result of excess fat and bloating.

•    Finally, the body needs water for a metabolism boost.  It has been proven through scientific studies by some of the leading institutions that increased water intake leads to faster burning of calories by the body.  Just two glasses of water can boost the calorie burning power by thirty percent for half an hour afterward.  Burning calories faster equals losing weight faster.
