I Married A Fat Bitch

I know you have heard about the fat-burning abilities of water – but there are also other reasons why everyone should start consuming 8 or more 8 to 10 oz glasses of water per day.

The principal reason is this amount of water is the start of any good weight loss program. Water is probably the weight loss rule that is most over-looked and not everyone realizes what it can really do for you – no matter what diet program you are on.

It is safe, low cost and is abudantly available in developed countries.Having no side-effects it’s tastes is also good.It also saves money on additional supplements that aren’t really so efficient.

There are some people who don’t like the taste or feel that water has no taste – so they don’t intake enough of it.But there are other reasons that someone doubtlessly comes up with a new reason every day.

But I am one skeptic who has seen the advantages.6 months ago I was about 40 lbs overweight and could not easily walk because of back spasms and knee pain.  I was also short of breath and just a walk from my apartment to my car was something that I almost could not do.I stay in a second story apartment and have a flight of stairs that truly is not very long – but I could not easily make it up the stairs and was almost out of breath before I could open my front door.So I was nearly homebound.

I was drifting towards high blood pressure and my blood tests showed emergence of diabetes.And, I was only 58 which really isn’t very old following today’s standards.I had already been warned many times by my doctor to losse my weight but my back hurt, I was too tired, and I couldn’t breathe. Acid reflux disease was another problem associated with me.

Now I have lost 30 lbs and able to run up and down the stairs.   Walking to my car is no problem and my blood pressure is good.Acid reflux is not bothering me. My back only hurts sporadically and when it does concern me, it is not the serious back pain that kept me from walking.I am more active than I had been in the past though I am not running any races or walking any great distances a day.

It really was easy to do. I still eat chocolate chip mint ice cream without changing my diet except cutting down my portions.All candy or snacks from my refrigerator is cut and low fat or no fat items are kept.  I have also cut my drinking of diet drinks with caffeine -  in half – so these changes are not that much of a big deal.

Instead I have added water to my daily routine – as much water as I can drink – and I can’t seem to get more of it.  So my theory is that I have probably been dehydrated for years and years and it put my whole body out of whack.  Water – just plain water from my water faucet – not ice cold with a lot of  ice cubes – just water, plain, and unflavored water.

So I am living proof – water is good for weight loss as well as a lot of other good health changes and benefits.
