Drinking Water To Lose Weight Something Difficult?

lemon_slicesThe usual question that I will ask a person if they keen on starting a weight management program is “How much water do you drink per day?”. You can ask this question to yourself too. If your answer is 2L and above in a day, that is good. But if less, then it something to improve on.

Are you giving yourself reasons for not drinking sufficient water? Or you really don’t know how to drink more water?

I often get excuses or reasons why drinking water to lose weight is something so difficult..

  • I’m very busy at work, don’t have the time for toilet visits
  • It’s embarrassing to carry big water bottle.. only kids do that..
  • It’s so troublesome to bring water bottle with me everywhere
  • It’s tasteless!

I do have a tips on how to make the water not that tasteless. Buy a lemon, cut it into pieces and put it into your glass of water. I do like the taste of the fresh lemon, it’s quite refreshing too. Give it a try and let me know how do you like the taste.

So, how about the rest of the other excuses or reasons..is there any tips for it? I’m sorry. There is none. Taking good care of ourselves is our own responsibilities. Yes, I do understand that at times during work it is so busy that we don’t even have the time for a short toilet break. But, don’t forget one thing, our body is the “cash machine”. If this “cash machine” spoils, it will need a lot of money for repairing and worst it will stop producing money for us. Talking about HEALTH, most people will neglect their health and don’t really paying attention to it. People care more about the things that needs money to purchase… we don’t need money to buy health, but that does not mean that we should neglect it. When there is no health, there will be no money. When there is nothing happening to your health, your don’t care about it. But when something happen, it will be too late and… who do you want to blame?

So, is drinking water to lose weight something difficult? The only thing I can say is about habits. When you have the will, you will have the way. If you do not want to do something, there will always be excuses or reasons for it. Choice is in your own hand.

Do you have any other tips to make the water taste better? Share with me, I would love to hear from you.

Just wanted to say HI. I found your blog a few days ago on Technorati and have been reading it over the past few days.

I drink about 2 liters of fluid a day. 1 liter is plain green tea and 1 liter is water. I have always a bottle of water on my office desk and a water heater for tea. That’s how I never forget to drink, even if I’m not thirsty.

Hello Anavar, good tips! It’s is not expensive to invest in a water bottle and knowing how much water that we have drink. Of course, we need to put the water bottle at a place that we can easily see and so, it will be able to constantly remind us that we need to drink water even though we do not feel thirsty.
