Water Consumption and SP
I have found that increasing my consumption of water has a direct impact on my weight loss. I was surprised by this when I started the plan, but after tracking it, I've found I usually lose at least another 1 lb a week when I manage to drink 2 litres of water every day in a week.
I've been reading up on the benefits of drinking water and the way that it helps your general health as well as your weight loss. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism published a study in 2003 (link here if like me you are rather geeky) which found that drinking at least 2 litres of water, starting with 500 ml on an empty stomach first thing in the morning can boost metabolic rate by around 30%. Anything that helps me burn fat quicker, gets a thumbs up from me!
I bought one of these from Hydratem8 and it has been invaluable (I am not sponsored by them in any way BTW!) The time-based reminders on the side mean that at any point during the day I can see how much I should have had by that point and it seems much more 'do-able' than trying to down big glasses of it. Government advice is that sipping water regularly has a better impact on your health than consuming large amounts at once, so this helps remind me to do this during busy days.
There are loads of other benefits of drinking plenty of water highlighted in this well-researched article link.
