Every new diet program, book or weight-loss guru eventually mentions water, but only after touting their diet pill, weight loss supplement, program, book or own personal fabulousness.
They have the order backwards, I am afraid. Water is important to your weight-loss efforts, no matter what you are using, eating or doing.
In fact, water should be mentioned at the start, middle and end of every diet book and program, regardless of who wrote them or what they are suggesting. Yes, water is that important, Whether you want to lose twenty pounds or just stay healthy.
Quick! What is the difference between feeling thirsty and feeling hungry? It may be harder to tell than you think and you may be reaching for a snack when all you need is a nice, big glass of water.
