3. Hydration
Aim for a diet consisting of 80% of fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts. Chances are you will be getting plenty of water. If not, you may benefit from drinking 1 litre of water per 25 kilos of body weight per day. There is nothing “slimming” about drinking water. However, it is difficult to lose body fat and maintain good health for life if you let yourself become mildly dehydrated by not drinking enough water throughout the day. When denied any vital nutrient (especially water) your body goes in to protection mode. It may tell you that you should eat (stimulating hunger) when actually you are just dehydrated. Alternatively, it may slow down your metabolism (fat burning) in an effort to retain water for survival. Thirst indicates that you body is already dehydrated.
Always make sure drink lots of water a day, because not only it will keep you hydrated and fresh it will also keep you fuller for longer making you eat less.
