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

sports 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 gallon of ice cold water generates

123 calories of heat energy.

You’ll be drinking from 1 to 1 5/8 gallons of water each day

on the following superhydration schedule:

Week 1— drink 4.0 32-oz. bottles of ice-cold

water per day.

Week 2— drink 4.5 32-oz. bottles of ice-cold

water per day.

Week 3— drink 5.0 32-oz. bottles of ice-cold

water per day.

Week 4— drink 5.5 32-oz. bottles of ice-cold

water per day.

Week 5— drink 6.0 32-oz. bottles of ice-cold

water per day.

Week 6— drink 6.5 32-oz. bottles of ice-cold

water per day.

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

or health care professional before going on the

recommended water-drinking schedule. If you have

any doubts about the recommendations, play it

safe and check with your physician or health care

professional.
