"Are you saying to drink water for weight loss? That just doesn’t sound right. I’ve been working hard to get rid of water to lose weight."

Yes, I know...it doesn’t seem to make sense, but it works. Drinking more water will actually get rid of body water...and fat! Plus, it improves your health, your skin, and your appearance.

So, along with diet and exercise, drinking more water is an indispensable part of your efforts to lose weight.

*How Drinking Water Helps You Lose Weight*

Drinking water helps you lose weight in the following ways:

- Water helps suppress the appetite. The more you drink, the less you eat.

- Water helps prevent water retention by getting rid of salt (salt causes water retention).

- By drinking enough water, your body feels free to release stored water.

- Water helps your kidneys, which, in turn, sets your liver free to burn more fat.

*3 Great Tips For Using Water For Faster Weight Loss*

1. Drink the best water.

It’s important to know that all drinking water is not equal. Here are some facts about various types of drinking water that you should know:

Tap Water

Most tap water contains fluoride, which is supposed to be good for your teeth. However, here are some facts about fluoride in drinking water:

- The American Dental Association admits that fluoride is harmful to the development of teeth. Strange.

- Fluoride is used in rat poison (Hmmm, does that tell you something?)

- Most of the fluoride used in public water systems comes from the fertilizer industry, and may contain trace amounts of arsenic along with various heavy metals such as lead and mercury. Heavy, man.

Now comes the icing on the cake: studies have found that there is no difference in rates of tooth decay in countries that use fluoridated water, than those that don’t. Even without the fluoride, tap water often contains many other unhealthy elements.

The good news is that fluoride in toothpaste does help prevent cavities.

Because of the above facts and because I don’t like the taste of most public water, I would advise you to use a different source of drinking water to help you lose weight.

Bottled Water

"I know what the answer is... it’s that pure Rocky Mountain bottled water, straight from those pure mountain springs." Sorry.

Not too long ago we found out that Pepsi’s "Aquafina" and Coca-Cola’s "Dasani" bottled waters came from public reservoirs. Both of these bottled waters come from the same source as faucet water. The only difference is that they have been purified.

Now we know that a large percentage of the bottled water sold in markets is just expensive, purified tap water.

Another issue to consider is the contamination caused by the plastic containers that bottled water is stored in for a long period of time. So bottled water still isn’t the best.
