You. Are. Not. Drinking. Enough. Water.

Staying adequately hydrated ensures that your metabolism is running at it’s maximum, meaning you are burning the most amount of calories for yourself as possible, whether you are sitting at your desk, digesting your food, or working your butt off in that spin class.

Also, our bodies often times mistake hunger for thirst, so you’ll end up reaching for more food (and calories), when really what you need is water. If you make sure you are always well hydrated, then you can eliminate unnecessary snacking and reach your health goals quicker!

So, drops the pounds quicker by drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day (more if you work out). Cold, hot, or room temp all work. And feel free to add in a slice of lemon, cucumber, or orange for a bit of flavor if you need it. Or try unsweetened green tea, that counts too!
