How Drinking Water increases Fat burning

louie377

You may think you know this. But I bet you don't know it in this WAY... Water.

The other is more technical... In order to keep acidity levels optimized the body begins to increase its core temperature slightly. This state called "thermogenesis" is prime for fat burning purposes. So you get a triple benefit:

1. More appetite control;
2. Increased thermogenesis (fat burning);
3. Increased hydration (less stress on liver= more fat burning.) This makes plain old water the number one fat burner you can drink on earth. You may think you know this. But I bet you don't know it in this WAY... Water.

Drinking water increases fat-burning. The reason is due to the fact that water relieves the burden on the liver by keeping your kidneys doing the filtering. When kidneys are taxed from too little water your liver has to take over and help... and... your liver is your primary fat burning organ. So... there you go Ah, But There's More. I've told you that bit before. Here's what I have not told you:

Drink 16 ounces of pure water 15 minutes before eating and you will drop weight. Researchers testing hydration found that
drinking water prior to meals significantly decreased the amount of food consumed. One reason is the "duh" factor: Your stomach feels more full Who'd thunk it? ; )

Thanks Lou-
I've always been told to drink at least 8 cups of water a day. But never has it been explained like this. I guess it's time for me to start helping my vitual organs.

I was told/read (I think at the gym or from using 'dr Gillian Mckeiths healthy eating methods) a couple of years back that if you drink water right before a meal or during that you dilute your stomach acids, making it more difficult for your body to break down food. The food stays 'stored' longer meaning its more likely to turn to fat. Is this just another one of those 'myths'?

In basic training this is a tactic they use to help us eat right and get on track, you will eat less and feel full longer. we never did the 15 min prior we had to drink ours then eat what we could makes more sense to me our way because the water hasn't started to digest yet it is in the stomach with the food,good luck guys
