Get Your Water The Right Temp For You

Members Were Sparked

I don't like really cold water, so when at home or at work I pour 16-32 oz in a big glass and drink it as it starts to get closer to room temp. I will drink more at a temp that isn't cold on my mouth than if it is ice cold. I do anything to make sure I get my water in!

Losing weight and getting the right amount of food

I have found that if I drank a cup of milk 15 min. before my meal I felt fuller faster. If I don't have milk, drink room temp water, warmer water aides in digestion. Plus use those kiddie bowls with separations on them they work great for getting the right proportion's.

Mix up your exercise routine it will help you from getting bored and it will help keep up your motivation.

MORE INFORMATION:
Don't forget refrain from eating 2 hours before bed, if you have to eat something a small whey protein shake will do the trick.

Also eat 6 smaller meals per day, break it down to 3 main meals and 3 snacks.

Drink Civilized!

Everyone, myself included lug around their water bottles, and I rarely see anyone take a sip. So while at work, I bought myself a nice stemmed glass, and pour my ice cold water into the glass. Makes me feel like drinking it and seems much more manageable. Being cold adds to calorie loss!

MORE INFORMATION:
Ice cold water makes your body heat it up, burning more calories than drinking room temp water!
