DRINK
Arguably the most important nutrient in our diet, water makes up at least 60% of our body composition, a loss of only 2% of our body’s water can cause reduced concentration, focus and slow reactions.The changes in metabolic processes and the breakdown of stored fats while on the Alpha Lipid™ Ultra Diet™ 2 Weight Management Programme increase our need for water.
Water and weight management.
Thirst can be mistaken for hunger, by drinking enough water and remaining hydrated this is a lot less likely to occur. Water also helps to metabolise stored body fat.
Water and toxins
Many toxins are stored in our fat cells, when we start to break down our stored fat for energy these toxins are released and must be removed from the body. Drinking enough water will help the body to eliminate toxins released from fat stores. Water is also necessary for the elimination of general wastes and is important for good bowel health. It is essential that a minimum of 2 litres (8 glasses) of water be consumed daily
while on the Alpha Lipid™ Ultra Diet™ II Weight Management Programme, more if you exercise or live in a hot climate. Unsweetened herbal teas including green tea can count as part of your total water intake. Sweetened beverages should be avoided; they contain excessive carbohydrates, usually with little nutritional merit.
