Drink More Water!!!

Water has so many functions for us in the body. Aside from the obvious hydration, water can also help us flush out some excess fat, HOWEVER, we have to drink enough in order to see its effects. So how much is enough? I recommend aiming for 1/2 your weight (in lbs) in fluid ounces of water. Here's an example:

Say you weigh 150 pounds, you would aim to drink AT LEAST 75 fl oz of water per day. Most water bottles are about 20 fl oz so that would be about 4 of those per day.

I often hear "what about coffee?" COFFEE DOES NOT COUNT! Especially the caffeinated kind. Caffeine acts as a diuretic in the body meaning that we actually lose water when we drink caffeinated beverages. For every caffeinated beverage, drink an additional glass of water. Pure water is going to be the best way to go to achieve hydration, but if you're looking for some flavor, I'm a huge fan of La Croix flavored soda waters- not artificial colors, flavors, and calorie-free! Orange and Coconut are my favorites! They can be found in the soda section of your local grocery store.
