Water for a Diet? Two questions?!

Water for a Diet? Two questions?

Im trying to loose 36 Ibs in 8 weeks do you think that will work? If i Drink 8 Big glasses of water for the 8 weeks and excersie do you think i'll loose the weightin 8 weeks 36 ibs?

that is a rather ambitious goal. If you want to loose this weight healthily, you should aim for 1-2 lbs a week. but ive got some SUPER EASY tips on how to loose weight relatively quickly.

Drinking water is number one, plan on at least 64 oz. daily, 80 oz. or more if you spend time outside especially in the heat.

a really easy thing to remember is to drink a glass of water everytime you feel hungry. The neurological signals that your brain interprets as thirst are so weak that they are often mistaken for hunger. So in other words, if you feel hungry drink water FIRST, you may just be thirsty :-)

Also, try to stick to whole grains, fruits, and veggies. it sounds boring, and most of the time it is, but the facts are that whole grains keep you full longer. fruits and veggies provide LOTS of fiber and iron to keep your digestive tract happy. (when we have a happy digestive tract we absorb less fats into our bodies because we are getting more important nutrients)

Steam your veggies rather than boiling them, you loose less vitamins and minerals that way.

Eat 6 SMALL meals a day rather than 3 larger ones. this keeps your metabolism kicking all day long. also, if you use a smaller plate, you tend to eat much less.

STAY AWAY from overly processed foods with lots of preservatives. ive got a rule in my household that if no one in my family can pronounce the ingredients, they shouldnt go in our bodies.

when it comes to exercise, do it in the morning AFTER breakfast. This gives your metabolism a serious jumpstart and keeps it going. dont strain yourself too much and try to excercise for at least 1 hour. break it into two sessions if you need to.

I know this is alot, but lastly, if you drink, cut the alcohol dramaticly. No more beer (too many carbs), if you want a drink with dinner stick to red wine. (one 4 oz. glass) alcohol slows all of our natural bodily functions, and you want them going full speed ahead for these next 8 weeks.

Its alot to remember, but i can assure you that all these things work, and work quickly. infact these things helped me loose my FIFTY POUNDS of baby weight from my twins in less than 3 months and ive kept every ounce of it off. im in better shape than i was before the kids.

Best of luck to you, from one beautiful and healthy woman to another. let me know how you do!
