Hydration.

I have read in many places that we have to drink 8 8 oz water a day. I have also read in one place that the previous statement is BS and that our body gets water from all sort of fruits and vegetables, so as long as we eat enough fruit and veggies we should be OK!

Of course I want to listen to one person and ignore the advice of many! It is true that drinking water keeps me full and I don't want to snack all day long. But I just can't get myself to drink water. Water is boring! Soda is not! Juice is not!

I saw an article on tipsonhealthyliving.com today and I am hoping that knowing that if I don't drink enough water during the day I am not going to lose fat, would be motivation enough for me to drink the required 8 8 oz water.

You need to drink 8 8 oz. glasses of water a day. Water fills you up.
But more importantly, water helps your body function properly. When kidneys aren't operating at full function some of their work is taken on by the liver. If the liver is working overtime to cover for the kidneys, it can't metabolize stored fat into usable energy, meaning your weight loss stops.
