Drink More and Lose Weight

[CookBoy]

I was told the other day that if you drink 2 litres of cold water a day you can burn off an extra 1600 cals per week. Doesn't sound a lot but that adds up quickly in a couple of months. It also help detox your body naturally.

Cool - where did you hear that?

One fact I learnt was if you drink more then the guidlines it isn't healthier (or unhealthier) for you - it has no effect. It does not detox you any more then the recommended amount.

Is that really true? I drink loads my belly hasnt gone done lol!

Drinking 2l a day certainly has health benefits in helping your body detox and drinking cold water does make the body use a few calories to heat it up. It will also help curb your appetite and stop you drinking other sugar-loaded drinks, so that may account for the weight loss. Also, running to the toilet every 1/2 hour will increase your physical activity and burn even more

It is possible to drink too much water though! So be carefull - everything in moderation.
Although it is Friday today! Woohoo so have just had a flapjack and tthinking about pizza for lunch! Oh and squash or coffee today instead of water.

Has anyone been drinking more water since my post?

I've had 2 litres a day and it has helped loose about 10lbs so far. I have not changed my diet much at all so it must be helping I think.

The thing is to cut out all those nice things as well as drinking the extra water. Really hard upwards struggle losing weight. I seem to lose half a stone and put it back on again after being bad.
