Water
A Blast From The Past!
Below are two videos I posted from my first weight loss journey. I realize that many people are opposed to drinks with aspartame and other artificial sweeteners, but I will never… NEVER… stop drinking these drinks!
Water increases the rate at which the body burns calories, flushes out impurities, improves muscle tone, makes your skin look younger… there are so many different health benefits of drinking water… but… there’s just one problem… IT DOESN’T TASTE GOOD!
Water is vital in your weight loss. In order to burn fat, the fat cells themselves must be free of the water and toxins you are retaining right now. If you don’t drink enough water, your body will retain water for survival. This inhibits your body from burning that fat. Y’all saw me… I was a frippin camel when I started this diet! Why?

Lots of water definitely makes a huge difference.

Try the vitamin-enhanced packs if you are conscientious about getting in additional vitamins.
Day 8: Walmart Generic Crystal Light
I learned a good lesson early on. On this video I am giving a tip on making water more palatable and making sure you get in a lot. You should definitely drink regular pure water everyday, but I am just giving a tip on what I use to make water more drinkable for me.
