Water Me

Don't underestimate the power of water.  Drinking two glasses of water (16 oz.) before every meal will help you eat less.  Now, research has shown that only those over 35 benefited from this aspect of drinking water, but there's another benefit that drinking more water gives to dieters: increased metabolism.  Since water helps the body flush toxins out, drinking more water allows more toxins to be flushed out.  When the body continually has enough water on hand, your liver will work more efficiently to metabolize the fat and get it out of your body.  Not drinking enough water causes your body to bloat.  This happens because your body thinks it is not going to get more water anytime soon, so it holds on to the water it does get.  Once you start drinking more water, the old water goes out, and your body loses the bloat.  In a nutshell, I'm adding two glasses of water before every meal to my weight loss plan.  Between P90X, healthy eating, and drinking water, I should reach my goals.
