Several glasses of water and a low-cal salad before meals is helpful. This is something I had never read though. The first part is that your liver is primarily responsible for metabolizing fat. One of its functions is to convert stored fats to energy. It has other things that it does as well but this is one of its main functions. One of the liver's other functions though and this is where the water equation comes into play, is to help out the kidneys which need plenty of water to function properly. If the kidneys aren't getting the water they need, the liver has to help them out. Since it's now doing two things at once it won't be metabolizing that fat as efficiently as it could if the kidneys had enough water to do it on their own. The second part is that your body has to burn calories to keep itself at its critical operating temperature of 98.5, just like your furnace at home has to burn natural gas, oil or electricity to heat your home when it's cold outside. The body, exposed to the outside air which is generally cooler, is always losing heat. This could explain why people who spend a great deal of their time in water are almost one for one never fat. To make up for this, the body has to burn calories to keep itself at a constant temperature. If you drink a half to a full gallon of ice cold water each day you'll get a bonus of 50 to a little over 100 calories burned per day, because it has to raise the temperature of the water you just took in from around 40 degrees up to 98.5. Just like your furnace at home, it has to burn some form of fuel to accomplish this. The calories required to do this can add up. Plus you'll be giving it plenty of water so it will start releasing all the extra it has stored up- as well as relieving the liver of having to help the kidneys do their job. californiaweightlosscenter.com * * *
