How much water should you drink?

By Matthew Johnson

To stay adequately hydrated you should drink approximately three quarts (96 ounces) of water a day. For fat loss, you should drink an additional 8 ounces of water for every 25 pounds you are over your ideal body weight. Also, water consumption should be increased in hot climates or during vigorous exercise.

Benefits of Water

Improves endocrine (hormone) function
Increases metabolic function
Drastically declines appetite
Increases fat used for energy
Liver function improves
Decreases fluid retention
Increases natural thirst

After

14.5 pounds lost, 17.25 inches lost and 7.3% body fat is away.

I guess in a nut-shell I would say this program is FREEDOM in letting someone else steer the boat! Now I can get on with LIVING because I know I WILL SEE RESULTS, so I can rest and enjoy the ride.
