Drink Water
Drink it throughout the day!
Did you know that water aids in absorbing nutrients and flushing out waste and toxins?
- How much water should you drink?
- 1.5 to 2 liters = 8 glasses of water.
The Water Hack
- Buy a 32 oz. sports bottle (Nalgene, Camelbak etc.), or a 1.5 to 2 litre bottle of water at the grocery store.
- You need to fill two sports bottles or one big bottle of water every 24 hours.
That's it!
No more wondering 'Did I get enough water today?'
You'll know just by looking at your water bottle.
If my bottle is looking full I tell myself that I need to take a few extra swigs especially if I'm exercising. I was never one to carry around a water bottle until I came up with this this. It just made sense to me. It's automatic. No guessing involved!
You decide how you want your water - in one big bottle that you only have to refill every 24 hours or a sports bottle that you have to fill twice.
Drink Water:
Before a meal. During a meal. After a meal.
"Water is the only drink for a wise man." -- Henry David Thoreau
"My fake plants died because I didn't pretend to water them." -- Mitch Hedberg

Water Cues
2 Glasses of water = first thing in the morning
1 Glass of water = 30 minutes before a meal (x3)
1 Glass of water = before exercising
1 Glass of water = before taking a bath or shower
1 Glass of water = before bed
Combined equals 8 glasses of water!
The more you sleep, the more calories you burn:
- For smaller body frames and women = 60 calories per hours of sleep.
- For larger body frames and men = 70 calories per hour of sleep.
*If you workout add 10 more calories burned!
8 hours of sleep
x
70-80 calories per hour
=
560-640 calories burned WHILE SLEEPING!
“I love sleepwalking, because when else would I get to combine exercise and rest?" -- Jarod Kintz
500 calories burned a night = 1 pound a week!
If you're striving to lose one to three pounds a week, sleeping wins half the battle!
Nutrition
Eating right is 90% of building muscle, burning fat and weight loss.
Nutrients:
Protein. Carbohydrates. Fat.
Vitamins. Minerals. Water.
Cardio and Weight LiftingAnaerobic exercise (cardio) burns fat... Anabolic (lifting weights) builds muscle...
If you include both in your workout routine you will lose a lot of weight very quickly!
Bodybuilding and lifting weights alone will also assist you to burn fat.
(So will Yoga...)
Muscles:
Torn in the gym. Fed in the kitchen. Built in bed.
