Superhydrate
Your System
Drinking
plenty
of water
is essential
to the success
of
this program.
Drinking
the recommended
amount
of water
can seem like a challenge
at first. Stick with
it. Carry
a large
sports
bottle
or similar
item with you
throughout
the day. After
several
weeks, you will find
that you actually
thirst
for more
and more
water,
and
the amounts
recommended
are easily reached.
Superhydration
aids tat loss in a number of ways.
First, the kidneys are unable to function
without
adequate
water. When they do not work to capacity
some of their load is dumped
onto the liver.
This diverts
the liver from
its primary
function,
which
is to metabolize
stored
tat into usable
energy.
Because
it's performing
the chores
of the wate>depleted
kidneys,
the liver metabolizes
less tat.
Second, overeating
can be averted through
water
intake, as water can keep the stomach feeling fllll and
satisfied between
meals.
Third,
ice-cold
water
requires
calories
to warm
it to
core body temperature.
In tact, 1 US gallon of ice cold
water
(3.8 1) generates
123 calories of heat energy.
You'll be drinking
from 1 to 1 5/8 US gallons
(3.8 - 6.2 1) of water each day on the following
superhydration
sche&lle:
Don't be surprised
if you have to make more than
a dozen trips to the restroom,
especially during the
first week of the program.
Remember,
your body is
an adaptive system, and it will soon accommodate
the
increased
water consumption.
Note:
Although
it is doub_ul
that you could ever drink
too much wate,, a fl_w ailments
can be negativdy
afflicted by
large amounts
oJJluid, l'br example,, anyone with a kidney
disorder, or anyone who takes diuretics, should consult a
physician
b@re going on the recommended
water-drinking
schedu#.
If you have any doubts about the recommendations,
play it sc_*_ _and check with your doctor.
