How to Drink Your Fat Away

How To Drink Some of Your Fat Away

Many years ago (in late January before golf season), I met an
overweight golfer who was desperate.   He loved to play golf, was
pretty good at it, but was having trouble with his swing due to his
“enormous” size.

It seems the fat in his arms and torso was literally making it so
hard for him to lift the club far enough into the back swing to
swing the club fast enough to get any decent launch or distance.

“Is there anything simple I can do to start losing some of this
weight before golf season starts? I’m barely 5 foot 6 and well
over 200 pounds now.”

Since he hadn’t officially become a client and started my
program  yet, I simply asked, “How much water do you drink?”

“Maybe a couple glasses per day,” he said.
That’s not near enough.  Based on your weight you need to
work up to drinking at least 12 cups per day.  Just fill a water
bottle up and drink it in the morning and afternoon, and repeat
throughout your day until a few hours before bed.  Then let me
know how it goes.”

Long story short… within a few weeks he had dropped an
entire clothes size!By the time golf season started, he was
physically a little leaner and  hitting the ball better.

Now, maybe you’re thinking, “Can drinking water really do
that?  Can you lose some weight just by drinking more water?”

And the answer is YES!

Fact is, most of us are not well hydrated, even if we THINK we
are.  And many of us habitually EAT when we actually are not
really hungry but just need to DRINK more.

Here’s why:

The recommended formula for optimal fluid intake in a nutshell
is…consume half your weight in ounces of water per day.  In
other words,if you are 200 pounds…work up to 100 oz. of
water per day. (That’s a little over 12 cups a day — just like
what I advised the man above to do).

And just keep adjusting up or down based on your weight.
Maybe that seems like a lot of water to drink.  Which is why I
always try and get ahead of the game each day by drinking 2
big glasses of water upon rising each morning (that’s about
three cups). I then make it a point to drink a glass or 2 in
between meals and snacks, too.

(Yes urination will increase initially, don’t worry about it, it’s
good to get those fat-causing toxins out of your body anyway.)

And whatever you do, do NOT weigh yourself.
Always measure, instead.

Why?

Because one of the reasons getting on the scale is a dead end
(in my opinion) is a couple of cups of water weighs
approximately 1 pound. So as you hydrate yourself, your
weight fluctuates.  Mine, for example, fluctuates during the day
between 162 and 169 pounds (and sometimes
even higher depending on when I drank or peed last).

That’s why size, body fat percentage and how your clothes fit
is a much better indicator of how you are doing.

So here’s the bottom line:

1. If you want to start to lose some weight, drink more water,
work up to 50% of your body weight in ounces.  If you
currently don’t drink very much, I always recommend working
up slowly to your goal amount.

2. Don’t weigh yourself, if your clothes are fitting better
than you are on the right track.

Do those two things and and you’re off to a good start
with your weight and your ability to make a good swing.

Here’s one more important thing…

A good tip for picking a weight loss goal is this:
1. What size clothes are you currently wearing?
2. What size clothes would you like to be wearing?

Why size and not pounds?

Because Weight Loss Success is about getting smaller and
getting  fit, going from a size 18+ to a 10 or from a 12 to a 6
(for a woman)  Or from a 44+ waist to a 38 or from a  39 waist
to a 34 or 36 (for a  man)  Whatever your numbers are it’s all
relative.

Think about it, if you could just comfortably fit into the size
clothes you’d like to wear, you felt better, and your doctor,
family  and friends took notice…and you liked the way you look
in the mirror, wouldn’t that do it for you?
