We can never get too many reminders of this...

Stop Drinking Soda, Drink Water Instead

If you're someone who's drinking eight or more cups of soda pop a day, instead of eight cups of water, then it may be time for a change. Sweetened drinks are one of the substances linked directly to weight gain, comprising a good portion of daily calorie intake. A possible explanation is that you're consuming calories without feeling full. Read on if you would like to take a step into becoming a healthier person by banning soda from your life.

Eating High Water Content Foods Could Be the Answer You've Been Looking For

• Water helps curb your appetite and has zero calories
• Water increases your metabolism
• Vegetables and fruit are around 80% water
• Vegetables and fruit are low in calories but high in nutrients
• Vegetables and fruit are high in fiber which helps you feel fuller for longer

Although I've spoken about the need to drink more water and eat more veggies and fruit in the past, the 'eat more vegetables and fruit' message and the 'drink more water' message cannot ever be overdone on this blog because these are two of the most important tips for losing weight and maintaining weight loss that I've ever come across. Recently I increased my own vegetable and fruit intake massively and it was only then that I realized how little of those foods I was really eating. 

In fact I think I have recently become a serious raw vegan food enthusiast and one of the most important reasons for this is the results I'm getting from this lifestyle. The weight is dropping off easily without much effort; my skin is glowing and looks better than it has done for ages; I'm eating as much of these foods as I like and my favorite result is...I'm never hungry and I never crave the processed 'food' I used to eat in the past. I will talk more about this way of eating in some future posts, but in the meantime I'd urge you to look up 'low fat raw vegan lifestyle' on Google for yourself and start your own research....you might be pleasantly surprised.

Water helps you feel full; flushes toxins from your body; gives you clearer skin; aids digestion and all this for zero calories.

Watermelon Can Help With Weight Loss

Watermelon can almost be called a weight loss super-food. It contains only 30 calories per 100g, so you can eat quite a lot of it without making a big difference to your daily calorie intake. Its sweet, juicy deliciousness helps satisfy a sweet tooth thus making it easier to avoid higher calorie treats. Watermelon is a rich source of Vitamin C and also contains other nutrients like potassium, vitamin A and B...oh, and did I mention it's 92% water?
