It seems as though everyone is looking for diet pills that work. However, diet pills aren’t really what a body needs to lose weight and we all know it. These pills and supplements are full of things such as caffeine which are not great for the body although they may artificially increase energy in the short term. In the long term, these products just won’t get you the results you’re after. All they will do is waste precious resources and pump more chemicals into our systems and our planet.
So, how do you lose weight naturally?? It’s all got to start with water. People are meant to drink much more water than we currently do. Just regular plain old tap water in a reusable water bottle will do. There’s absolutely no reason to buy bottled water. In fact, all of these used plastic bottles are damaging our planet and using up resources that cannot be replaced.
Adults should drink 8-10 glasses of plain water a day to help maintain or achieve a healthy weight. You really shouldn’t get thirsty at all. That’s your body’s way of telling you that it is being deprived of water. When I say “plain water”, I mean just that. Not juice, not tea, not water sweetened with artificial products. Just water, straight from the tap. Most western countries have extremely clean drinking water coming directly into their home.
Try keeping a bottle (reusable of course) of water with you at all times and try to fill it at least 8 times throughout the day. I guarantee you that you’ll feel and see a difference. It will also help give you the added energy to put more exercise into your daily routine. Remember that 30 minutes to 1 hour of daily activity is the recommended minimum. It doesn’t need to happen all at once though. Try 5 ten minute bursts. Add in some fresh organic, local produce and you are on your way!
