Water
and weight loss
by
Dr Wynnie Chan
 Is
carbonated mineral water better for you than still water, and does
drinking eight glasses of water a day really help you to lose weight?
Also, I eat a lot of carbohydrates (bagels, bread, cereal and pasta), but
even though they are low in fat I still can't seem to shift the pounds.
Should I cut back on my carbs?
There's
no difference in the caloric value of carbonated or still mineral water
and, yes, you should be drinking eight glasses of water a day. This is
important to keep you hydrated and regulate your body processes.
Carbohydrates (especially wholegrain versions) are low fat and excellent
sources of starch, which will fill you up without piling on the calories.
If you use toppings, be sure and steer clear of fattening butter and
spreads, which can add extra calories and fat and sabotage your weight
loss plan. As long as you are basing your diet on 50 per cent
carbohydrates, 35 per cent fat and 15 per cent protein, you shouldn't have
to cut down your carb intake.
Building
in an exercise regime will also help you shift unwanted pounds.
