Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Figure out how much water you are already drinking. Add more water to your daily intake if you are not already drinking enough. Drink at least eight glasses a day.
Step2
Drink before you become thirsty. Listen to your body's cues of dehydration, the most obvious being thirst and drink before they appear. Many people are not aware that they go through much of their day dehydrated.
Step3
Drink water cold, in order to maximize its weight loss effects. Drinking cold water burns more calories and allows your body to absorb water faster.
Step4
Ingest more water to increase your metabolism by as much as 3 percent. Drinking water has the same metabolism-boosting effect as exercise.
Step5
Drink water to keep your liver functioning at its best. It helps to break down fat in the body. Continue drinking more water to help your body flush fat away after it has been broken down.
Step6
Eat food with high water content. Consume lettuce, bean sprouts, celery, broccoli and citrus fruits for their high percentage of water.
Step7
Limit the amount of drinks that act as diuretics, such as sodas, tea, coffee and other high caffeine drinks. Choose caffeine-free versions of these drinks.
