Tired of hearing all the hype about diets that really don’t work? Well here are some tips about loosing that unwanted water weight we all seem to gain! If you are overweight chances are you are not getting enough water. I mean the kind without sugary sweeteners or the new type on the market filled with minerals and flavors to help your body out. If you are drinking that type of water chances are you are adding to the stress of your body not getting enough basic water.

If you drink basic water only once a day you are telling your body that water is scarce. This is something your body learned many years ago, thousands of years ago to be exact. Our bodies learned in order to survive it needed to retain water. Well natural basic water is no longer scarce, over ½ of us; Americans purchase more than 2 million bottles of water in a year!

I bet you are hearing this from everyone, if they are all saying drink more water then it must be true. Drinking more water 30-50 ounces more than you regularly drink in a day will “trick” your body into releasing the extra water. You have absolutely nothing to loose with this idea. Sounds to good to be true? Why not try it and see for yourself.  If you are willing to drink 30-50 ounces of extra water a day I can guarantee you will loose 5-7 pounds of extra water weight in a month!

Are you tired of reaching for the same high fat, high Carbohydrate snack? Fantastic because right in front of you at the fruit and veggie section of your grocery store you will find exactly what you need to help you trim inches and loose about 5 pounds a month. If we multiply 5 x 12(months) we get = 60 pounds! Just for having apples instead of candy, chips and other junk food for snacks! You are supposed to have 3-5 fruits and veggies in a day according to the National Food Pyramid. This is an easy way to get the servings you need! With the 5 grams of fiber in the apple you will be adding and additional 15 grams per day to your diet!

Don’t like apples well that’s ok, because you can also eat low calorie, high fiber yogurts. Reach for a “Dannon Active” or “CarbSmart” cup, which has 60 calories and 3 grams of Carbohydrates. What could be better? Other companies do exist on the market, but these two are my personal favorites!
