Top #30 Greatest Ways 2 Lose Belly Fat ~ #23 "Drink Water"

Top #30 Greatest Ways To Lose Belly Fat...

#23 Drink Water
Water may contain zero calories, but it's power extends well beyond being a low, or no calories beverage. Studies show that drinking water can actually help you lose weight. Research has shown that drinking just 2-8oz glasses of water before meals can help you lose weight, because you eat up to 90 fewer calories. But, more than helping you lose weight, drinking water can help you lose belly fat. You may ask why? Dehydration may rise your cortisol levels, which inhibits your efforts to lose belly fat. So, staying well hydrated is one of the positive things you can do towards shedding that dreaded belly fat. 

1. Drink cold water. Drinking cold water will cause your body's metabolism to work harder to bring the water up to room temperature.
2. Start off your morning by drinking a large glass of water before eating anything else. This will help to increase your metabolism and help your body to get rid of toxins. It will also keep you from overeating during breakfast, as it will make you feel more full.
3. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and more if possible. When you are dehydrated, your body stores more water, especially in fat cells. By staying hydrated, your body will not store as much water and the size of your fat cells will decrease.
4. Take sips of water between every bite of food. This will help to slow down your food intake and help you feel full more quickly.
5. Keep a glass of water with you at all times and sip from it frequently throughout the day. This will help to keep you from snacking out of boredom or from mistaking thirst for hunger.
