Water
70% of our body is composed of water. So, drinking the plenty of water is essential for all of us.
Most people I know are guilty of not drinking enough water. When it comes to weight loss, drinking
adequate amounts of water every day is very helpful for weight loss. If you don’t drink enough water,
you simply will not get the full weight loss benefits that you’re after.
Water helps your kidneys work at full capacity. When your kidneys aren’t working fully, the liver
needs to help it. The problem with this is that the liver is responsible for metabolizing fat in your
body. When your liver is helping out the kidneys, it can’t do its job, as far as metabolizing the fat we
need to burn, at full capacity.
When on The 1 Week Diet, you will lose water weight along with body fat. Remember, water weight
is still weight and partly responsible for bloat and tight-fitting clothes. The fact is, carbohydrates are
hydrophilic (which means they cause water retention) and water retention is not something we want.
Protein, on the other hand, encourages water to be released from the body.
Once you restrict your carbohydrate intake, you will begin to let loose some of that stagnant water
that is being stored in your body. Because of this, it is essential that you consume enough water
every day to avoid dehydration. Further, water acts as your body’s filter, flushing out dead cells and
waste. Because you are burning a great deal of fat during The 1 Week Diet, you will need ample
water to help flush out the by-product waste of fat burning
You will find that when you restrict the amount of carbohydrates you eat and increase the amount of
water you drink, your body stops storing water and will use it more effectively. This results in a lighter
and ‘cleaner’ body.
