Critical thing to do in order to lose weight ...

Drink water !

Here are my favourite facts that keep me drinking water:

Did you know that the process of burning calories requires an adequate supply of water in order to function effectively ? If you are dehydrated, the process of burning fat actually slows down.! How unfair is that ! You would think that if you watch your diet and exercise regularly you should lose weight. Well, sometimes not.
 I remember this from the days when I was in Weightwatchers. People used to get so frustrated when they were super mindful of their diet, did loads of exercise and still failed to lose weight. The first question the leader asked was if they had drunk two litres of water every day and more often than not the answer was no. Sure enough, the next week they would be down weight after a week of drinking lots of water every day.

Did you also know that burning calories creates toxins, you need to drink water to flush these toxins out.

Some people, like myself, are emotional eaters. I especially tend to have poor willpower when stressed or bored. The next time you find yourself reaching for an unhealthy snack, first ask yourself are you actually hungry? If you are not, have a glass of water and step away from the kitchen.!
If you are hungry then have a healthy snack, munch on a raw carrot, or have a small portion of nuts or seeds. Then have some water.!!

It helps to have a glass of water out in front of you all day and keep sipping throughout the day. You would be surprised at how much water you can actually drink in a day. Other people prefer to drink a pint at a time so maybe have a pint after each meal.
