When the body's demand for water is not being met, dehydration occurs which in early stages can lead to fatigue, appetite loss, heat intolerance, light headedness and poor coordination.
Dehydration can also affect the body's ability to digest food and metabolize fat.
Adequate water intake is essential for successful fat loss efforts. Drinking generous amounts of water can reduce food cravings and appetite. You can monitor fluid intake by observing the color of your urine. In general, dark gold urine indicates dehydration whereas pale yellow or clear urine means you are heading toward adequate hydration. Keep in mind that alcohol and caffeine are diuretics so the urine can be a pale color even though you may actually be dehydrated.
