Drink plenty of fresh water. Water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off.
It acts as a natural appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full and fending off dehydration which can lead to false cravings/hunger. This not only helps you to feel full so you eat less, but it also helps to flush toxins out of your body and keep your body hydrated.
Many times when we get "hunger signals", these are really "thirst signals", so before heading for the food, try a glass of water instead.
Most importantly water helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush out waste. When you don't drink enough water the liver which works to provide stored fat for energy also takes on the task of helping the kidneys eliminate waste and thus becomes less effective at metabolizing fat.
As an added bonus drinking eight glasses of ice water a day burns about 62 calories because your body has to work to raise that waters temperature to your body's temperature. That equals about 430 calories per week.
