Tips for Weight Loss - Chapter 1



1.Drink plenty of water. Our body needs a lot of water so give in to water. Water is not just way
to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier
and fitter. This it self will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is
that is has no calories at all.

2.Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake up, gulp down a glass of cool
water. It’s a wonderful way to start you day and you only need a lesser quantity of your
breakfast drink after that. A glass of water lets out all your digestive juices and sort of
lubricates the insides of your body. You may have your morning cup of tea but have it after a
glass of water. It is good for you.

3.Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that
you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

4.Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of
making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just
the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to
settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster.
SIDENOTE: Water is such a remarkable thing, but seldom do we give it the
credit that it deserves. Did you know that over 66% of your body weight is
nothing but water? It’s amazing!
Water also plays a vital role in weight control, which is why I donated so
much space to it, above.

5.Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. Hey all those colas and fizzy drinks
are sweetened with sugar and sugar means calories. The more you can cut out on these
sweetened bottle drinks, the better for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet
sodas.

6.Include in your diet things that contain more water like tomatoes and watermelons. These
things contain 90 to 95 % water so that there is nothing that you have to lose by feasting on
them. They fill you up without adding to the pounds.
