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 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 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 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
before going on the recommended water-drinking schedule. If
you have any doubts about the recommendations, play it safe
and check with your doctor.
