Weight Loss Tip #7 - Drink Enough Water

If you're serious about losing fat, you need to drink enough water because:

1. It helps you metabolize fat more effectively.
2. We sometimes eat moist or fatty food because we're dehydrated, rather than hungry.
3. Drinking caloric beverages when you're thirsty can contribute to a daily calorie surplus.

And forget about the 8x8 (glasses, ounces) as the magic amount. Water consumption needs vary due to factors such as body size, climate, salt and protein intake, among others. Drink enough to keep your urine pale or clear, and you should be fine.

Try to drink it evenly throughout the day as well, and that's even better.
