Water Weight Gain

I am on day five of transforming my life when it comes to becoming physically fit and eating healthy.  This morning I got on the scale, can you say disappointment.  I gained weight!  How can this be?  Water weight gain, I thought so I shook it off and had a great day!  Well, I started researching today to find out my suspicions were quite typical and normal.  

My research proved to be very rewarding, as I discovered that by continuing to drink water, I would not only lose the water weight but the weight that was initially the target.  All of the articles that I read, suggested that at least a gallon of water should be the target for most adults.  The more water you drink it flushes out the water being retained in your body.  Your brain recognizes that your body isn't dehydrated and metabolically stable; so it will flush that retained water right on out of your body.   Another great benefit of drinking a gallon or more is having those toxins flushed right out of your body.

Apparently, drinking chilled water helps your body burn more calories as it attempts to warm the water.   Red Cayenne pepper in your water helps to stimulate waste elimination in the colon.  You can add spices, lime or lemon juice.  I am two thumbs up on the lime juice, love it!  Water suppresses your appetite so drink a glass before each meal.
