If you want to lose weight, there are many ways.
One important step is drinking water.
I will tell you how drinking water helps in losing weight and how much water is required.
The statement, “You are not hungry, you are just thirsty.” is true.
If you drink water before the meal
it helps to reduce the amount of food intake and you also do not feel hungry.
It also helps to avoid eating unneccssary snacks like chips and biscuits.
It decreases the weight and calories.
Water is needed for proper functioning of our organs like heart, liver, intestine and kidney.
Water eases the path for digestion and eliminates waste.
If the content of water is less, when you eat the food, the digestion is not proper which causes constipation.
Water helps in proper digestion and in elimination of waste and toxins from the body.
If you do not drink enough water,
the waste remains in the body and increases the weight.
If you drink enough water, it relieves any pent up weight from waste.
Metabolism is the process of converting the food into energy that we use to do work.
Water helps in the process of metabolism.
If you drink less water, metabolism will not be good.
Water helps in metabolism and also in reducing weight.
It also reduces calories.
When you go out and feel thirsty, you drink aerated drinks or juice to quench your thirst.
These show that it has less sugar. But even health drinks have sugar.
When you drink these you unknowingly increase your calorie instake which increases weight.
When you feel thirsty instead of soda and juice drink normal water.
It will quench your thirst as well as not even increase your weight and calories.

There are different way to track your water consumption.
You can use a bottle of a certain quantity and keep refilling and drinking water from it through out the day.
Or you even use bottles measurements marked on it, to keep a tab on your consumption.
You may sometime forget to drink water or forget the quantity,
for that you can download apps on your mobile that remind you to drink water.
