How to drink water??? and day 1

The title may sound bizarre and you may feel i m crazy(wtf,now u will tell us how to drink our water,,wats wrong with these bloggers???)well,no..i m in my full senses..drinking water may not be as simple as we all believe..our body reacts to excess water that causes water retension in different ways.The most common effects may be weakening of bones,muscle cramps,joint pains,aches in the body,shooting pain in the muscles,internal organs may be damaged,infections,high bloodpressure,constipation,make u put on weight,bloating etc may occur.for this you need not keep drinking buckets of water but just regulate the good 3-4 lit of water you take daily in a proper fashion so that you can be benefited...i already shared the importance of water for weightloss here

IDEAL WAY

  • 1 lit of lukewarm water immediately after you wake-up(before brushing your teeth)
  • 1 glass: 20 min after breakfast
  • 1 glass:before lunch
  • 1 glass:after lunch
  • 2 glasses: 20 min before exercising
  • sip water during workout,dont gulp or over drink
  • 3 glasses: after workout
  • 1 glass:before teatime
  • 1 glass:before dinner
  • 1 glass: after dinner
  • 1-2 glasses before sleeping
  • carry around your favourite water bottle to work and sip whenever needed and keep refilling it  .


you may find it difficult in the starting but it just takes a few days and you will be habituated to have your daily water intake in a perfectly healthy way..yay!!!


DAY 1
1.i could just complete 20% of my todays academic goals(will do better tomorrow)


2.Body:

Diet tip 5 : Portion control! Portion control!! Portion control!!!!

When we aim for weight loss,our full energy goes in loosing weight only.we do all crazy things like having all yucky drinks,fatfree junk,fad diets...but do we concentrate on the fact that `we not only want to loose weight but we want to put it off for the rest of life`...for this to happen we should adapt some changes,some lifestyle changes like the one below....

1.Controlling your portions is very important so that you dont overeat and then carry the guilt 
2.Before eating switch off your TV,computer,mobile so that you can concentrate on what you eat
3.serve yourself half of what you usually eat,on a nice.clean small pplate
4.Drink a glass of water
5.start eating and eat slowly chewing it properly



6.use the entire mouth and dont just chew from one side of your jaw
7.eat with all your senses relishing each and every bite.
8.if you want to eat some more,serve your self a second helping from the other half of whats left .
9.Now dont be in a hurry to get up,stay where you were for a couple of mins. clear youself up and clean your plate and glass instead of leaving it in the sink.
10.take a walk in your dining room for 5 min or move yourself in and around for a few mins..
how do you control your portions?what is your way to weight loss??plz share your two cents in the comments...it will help me thank u

DIET TIP 1

Drink plenty of water or unsweetened teas or other calorie free beverages:
         *water helps cleanse your body from waste and toxins ,and it improves your skin moisture.

       *it supresses hunger and unnecessary cravings so very helpful in weight loss.water is a appettite supressor.

       *speeds up your metabolism,so that we can burn more calories than usual.

       *water helps in better digestion and absorption of vitamins and nutrients.

       *water helps in the maintainance of the muscle tone during the weight loss

       *water also helps in the sagging of skin common in weight loss.




HOW MUCH:


The general amount indicated always is a good 8 glasses per day.But over weight people should drink an extra 1 glass of water for every extra 20 pounds(approx 8 kilos) and 1 glass water for very 20 min of workout.If you cant drink plain water try adding lemon,mint,herbal teas etc.



My way:I try to drink a good 3 litres every day and 3 cups of unsweetened green tea.Drink as much water as possible in the morning hours and less in the nights.try to avoid colas and other beverages they do nothing good to us,just a hole in the pocket



                                                                          luv   Pav



what is your take on water and how much do you drink daily??any advice for weight loss or what worked for you???
