The Importance of Water in Weight Loss

While gym memberships and gourmet grocery stores may seem like an alluring way to lose weight, one of the most important components of weight loss is available in your kitchen for free. Water, and drinking enough of it, can help your body to stay hydrated and healthy during exercise and to feel fuller for longer. Talk to your weight loss clinic about how water can aid in weight loss, and read more about its weight loss benefits below. 

• Feel Fuller: As a natural appetite suppressant, water can help you feel fuller more quickly and for longer, reducing how much you eat. Instead of filling your stomach with high-calorie snack or sugary drinks, consider reaching for a glass of water instead. Because you can still feel hungry even after drinking water, avoid replacing healthy snacks with fluids. Instead, drink a glass of water before and with your meal to feel satiated more quickly.
• Quench Thirst: In addition to feeling fuller, drinking enough water helps your body to stay hydrated. Your body tends to already need water before you feel thirsty; this is partly why it usually takes more than one glass of water to slake your thirst. In addition, the human body can mistake thirst for hunger. If you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water instead. It could be that your body is dehydrated but confusing feelings of hunger for thirst.
• Drink Water Regularly: Especially for those on-the-go or busy at work, consuming enough water to hydrate your body can be difficult. Consider bringing a reusable water bottle to work and refilling it throughout the day. Have a glass of water when you first wake up, and make a conscious effort to drink a full glass of water before meals. Adding fresh lemon, mint, and ginger to your water can not only make it more refreshing but also easier to drink.

3 Ways to Eat Guilt-Free All Day

While a healthy diet and regular exercise are key components of weight loss, finding healthy and nutritious foods that are also satisfying can feel like a challenge. While fast-food options and snacks may be tempting, especially given your busy schedule, purchasing the right ingredients and planning ahead can help you to stick with your weight loss goals. Talk to your weight loss clinic about healthy meals and recipes that will give you the energy to look and feel better.

Breakfast

Your mother wasn’t kidding when she said that breakfast can be the most important meal of the day. In addition to providing your body with the nutrients to kick-start the day, eating breakfast can help both adults and children concentrate during the day and control their weight. Look for whole grains, low-fat proteins and dairy products, and fresh produce for a healthy breakfast. Even if your mornings are rushed, you can grab a portable breakfast in the form of whole grain muffins and bagels, hard-boiled eggs, or fresh fruit.

Lunch

Eating a healthy and nutritious breakfast can also help you avoid overeating at lunch. For lunch, consider a homemade smoothie using fresh ingredients (commercially-made smoothies may contain hidden calories and sugars). Using yogurt or bananas as a base for your smoothie provides you with filling nutrients, and a variety of seasonal fruits means you can try new flavors and combinations regularly.

Dinner

Craving a satisfying ending to a long day? You can still eat the dishes you love by making a few smart and strategic substitutions. Bake instead of fry, substitute whole grains when using bread, and look for low-fat alternatives to creamy ingredients. Instead of fatty meats, for example, use Portobello mushrooms for a hearty, meaty protein. Or, indulge your cravings for chocolate cake by using healthy tofu as a main ingredient.
