The body will not function properly without enough water and cannot metabolize stored fat efficiently. Retained water shows up as excess weight. To get rid of excess water you must drink more water. Drinking water is essential to weight loss. Water should preferably be cold - it is absorbed more quickly into the system than warm water.
Some evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually burn calories.
An easy rule of thumb is to divide your weight in half to determine how many ounces of water you need to drink daily. There is a loss of hunger almost overnight When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally, its fluids are perfectly balanced. Endocrine gland function improves. Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water is lost. More fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat.
