Superhydrate Your System

Drinking plenty of water is essential to the success of this program. Drinking the recommended amount of water can seem like a challenge at first. Stick with it. Carry a large sport bottle or similar item with you throughout the day. After several weeks, you will find that you actually thirst for more and more water, and the amounts recommended are easily reached.

Superhydration aids fat loss in a number of ways. First, the kidneys are unable to function without adequate water. When they do not work to capacity some of their load is dumped onto the liver.

This diverts the liver from its primary function, which is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy. Because it’s performing the chores of the water-depleted kidneys, the liver metabolizes less fat.

Second, overeating can be averted through water intake, as water can keep the stomach feeling full and satisfied between meals.

Third, ice-cold water requires calories to warm it to core body temperature. In fact, 1 US gallon of ice cold water ( 3.8 l) generates 123 calories of heat energy.

You’ll be drinking from 1 to 1 5/8 US gallons

(3.8 - 6.2 liters) of water each day on the following superhydration schedule:

Don’t be surprised if you have to make more than a dozen trips to the restroom, especially during the first week of the program. Remember, your body is an adaptive system, and it will soon accommodate the increased water consumption.

Note: Although it is doubtful that you could ever drink too much water, a few ailments can be negatively affected by large amounts of fluid. For example, anyone with a kidney disorder, or anyone who takes diuretics, should consult a physician before going on the recommended water-drinking schedule. If you have any doubts about the recommendations, play it safe and check with your doctor.

Week 1 = drink four 32-oz. bottles (3.8 liters) of ice-cold water per day.

Week 2 = drink four and a half 32-oz. bottles (4.3 liters) of ice-cold water per day.

Week 3 = drink five 32-oz. bottles (4.6 liters) of ice-cold water per day.

Week 4 = drink five and a half 32-oz. bottles (5.2 liters) of ice-cold water per day.

Week 5 = drink six 32-oz. bottles (5.7 liters) of ice-cold water per day.

Week 6 = drink six and a half 32-oz. bottles (6.2 liters) of ice-cold water per day.
