thank you oh hey bro oh hey man what are you doing oh my uh fat loss coach told me I gotta drink more
water to lose weight so I just wanted to track it in real time uh you know that's not how that
works right what [Music] hey what's up my name is Schuyler Diehm I'm the founder of REACH fat loss
and fitness where our goal is to help you lose weight and keep it off and do it without the sucky
dieting without weighing all your food counting all your calories and definitely without having
to eat five or six times a day what we're going to talk about in this video as well as every other
video I've put out has helped clients of mine lose weight build muscle and overall feel incredible
and my goal with these videos is to help you do the same so if you're not subscribed to the
channel make sure you tap that subscribe button and hit that Bell I'm putting out new videos
every single week and I would love to have you as part of the community now the topic of water water
water is extremely important not only for health and General Health and well-being but also for fat
loss now keep in mind not necessarily for weight loss considering if you're consuming water your
actual weight is probably going to go up in that moment however a couple cool studies to highlight
just to show the importance of water here so one study showed that older adults that drink water
before each meal had increased their weight loss by about 4.4 pounds over a 12-week period another
study showed that middle-aged overweight and obese participants who drank water before each meal lost
about 44 percent more weight compared to a group that didn't drink more water and another study
showed that drinking water before breakfast would reduce the amount of calories consumed during the
meal by about 13 percent which in effect will lead to weight loss so how much water
should you be drinking by the end of this video you're really going to have an accurate picture
of that answer now here's the deal if you are the average human being the truth is you're probably
not drinking enough so that's going to be first and foremost is if you are not consuming a ton of
water throughout the day you don't consistently have water by you drink more but the interesting
part here here is that the water that you're drinking it's not actually about the water well
it is but there's some things that are actually more important there and I'll expand on that in
a second but here's the deal most water that you'd find out in nature in streams where water is going
to be flowing it's going to be clean it's going to be positive for drinking contains minerals
that are called electrolytes now five of the key electrolytes we've got sodium magnesium potassium
calcium chloride and phosphate the purpose of these electrolytes is to regulate function of
the body so it regulates the fluid we hold it serves with muscle function nerve function and
something that is extremely extremely important to understand is that low sodium in the body is
connected to so many things that the average human being is experiencing today including headaches
low energy and fatigue and all the other things that you hear your co-worker Betty complaining
about every single day or you are Betty laughs so here's the thing sodium is something in our body
that's an electrolyte that we consume from outside sources and it can be excreted from
sweating it can be diluted actually if you drink too much water which we'll get to in a second
and there's something that athletes and people with health conditions tend to experience that's
called hyponatremia and this is where you have a very dangerous drop in blood sodium levels so
here is the problem that we're running into right we're running into this idea of us telling people
to drink more water and hey I have to drink more water while avoiding the fact that many
of the water sources that we have today have lower electrolyte balances than they normally would and
normally should most modern water sources from tap water to filtered water is very deficient
in electrolytes and then if you take that a step further if you look at something like tap
water that tap water contains a lot of toxins including birth control antibiotics pathogen
fluoride which don't even get me started on that how it's not even healthy for the teeth but it's
actually damaging things like our pineal gland so what we find is that most Americans are getting
a lot of sodium from their diet but they're not getting enough of these other essential minerals
and so especially if you are taking care of your health and you are eating healthy you actually
may not be getting enough sodium so before we go on I'd love if you could leave me a comment down
below how much water are you currently drinking on a daily basis are you under drinking are you over
drinking are you the person that carries the glass gallon with them everywhere they go let me know in
the comments because I'd love to hear from you so how much water should you be looking to drink if
you're looking to lose weight now plain and simple for most people my answer is going to be more but
with an emphasis of getting electrolytes and I'm going to share how to do that in a second I really
don't think it's important to put a magical number by the amount of water you should drink there's no
specific study that says this number is the best this percentage of your body weight is the best
this many ounces per pound is the best so ideally you just drink more a good thing to aim for is a
gallon a day but if you're currently drinking like an eighth of a gallon don't shoot for that from
day one right work your way up to that and again no matter how much water you're drinking make sure
you get enough electrolytes now if you're looking to get more electrolytes I've got three ways for
you to do that number one I highly recommend looking into a Trace mineral blend the specific
company that I use is trace minerals there are a lot of other companies out there that put
together electrolytes but all I do is I fill up my gallon once a day I fill this in with the proper
serving size to make sure that I am getting enough electrolytes throughout the day I use a reverse
osmosis filtered water which does tend to filter out a lot of the minerals so it's my focus to
replace that using those trace minerals if you're looking for something a little more flavored or
something that tastes good I highly recommend the company Element element is a great way they have
these individual packets where you know if you're just looking to get a little hit of flavor and
electrolytes all you do is open it up pour it in your water I will say the dosages here are going
to be very different so for the trace minerals we're looking at serving size of 250 milligrams
of magnesium where we're only getting 60 with the element you're definitely getting much more
sodium with the element so this would typically be for athletes people who are sweating a lot or
people who eat very healthy and don't get a lot of sodium in their diet potassium again you're
getting way more here big big plus of this as you are getting also chloride sulfate lithium and
as well which are other essential minerals and then the third thing I'd recommend is just
eat more fruit drink more fruit juices that are unpasteurized that are totally raw eat more fruit
whether it's frozen or fresh because those are going to have some electrolytes in them as well
but here's the deal again water is just one of the pieces of the puzzle when it comes to losing
weight can you lose a substantial amount of weight just by starting to drink more water potentially
but odds are based on your current diet and your movement routine it's going to take some more
tweaks in those areas to see better results and so if you are looking for help losing weight if
you're fed up with all the other overwhelming information out there and you're looking for
something that is simple and something that is straightforward make sure you check the link
