When it comes to permanent or sustained weight loss, it is important to understand that no single factor will cause you to lose weight.

In order for a weight loss or fat loss program to be successful, you must implement a number of time-proven weight loss principles that include:

• Eating a well balanced diet,
• Performing some type of regular weight loss exercise program
• Paying attention to proper rest and recovery
• Drinking enough water each day…

…And maintaining an active lifestyle away from the gym!

All of these things in unison create the environment for permanent fat loss.

No principle alone will allow you to lose weight and keep it off!

So to answer the question: " How much water do I need to drink to lose weight ?"
My answer is somewhere between drinking as much as you can and 1 gallon a day.

If you can, drink 1 gallon a day. If 1 gallon is simply too much for your body, focus on consuming as much water as you can throughout the day.

If you are serious about weight loss, you should be eating 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. Drink 1 glass/ bottle of water with every meal and 1 large glass/bottle in between every meal throughout the day.

If you are performing regular exercise, drink water before, during and immediately following any workout. This will help to ensure that you are replacing any water lost during exercise sessions.

As far as weight loss is concerned, drinking water alone will not cause fat to fall off of your body.

What consuming water will do is allow for proper hydration. You will be able to feel a difference in your skin, joints and overall level of health.

Water will allow you to replenish what you lose during exercise and day to day life. Water will also help your body rid itself of toxins and waste.

Hopefully you can see the importance of consuming adequate amounts of water throughout the day.

Not only will you feel better, but your body will be able to function more efficiently.

As far as weight loss is concerned, drinking water throughout the day will help you to feel fuller while on a restricted, balanced diet.
