You must drink lots of fluid to avoid water retention because your body has a survival mechanism built into it regarding dehydration and a lack of adequate fluids. When you aren’t getting enough water (or are even mildly dehydrated), your body senses this and begins to hold on to the fluid already in your body. This can make you appear puffy or bloated as your body is storing water because it senses a “famine”, if you will. If you’re constantly well hydrated and drinking enough fluids throughout the day, the survival mode lies dormant and you’ll enjoy a total lack of extraneous water retention.

The process is very similar to the “starvation mode” your body goes in to when you aren’t getting enough calories, where your body begins to catabolize it’s own muscle (the tissue that requires the highest metabolic load to maintain) and store fat. Your body senses it isn’t getting enough food, therefore anticipates famine so it stores energy (fat) while ridding itself of the rest. That’s why you always hear “reduce calories, but not too drastically”. There is a (rather large and admittedly very forgiving) sweetspot when in comes to losing fat, but if you reduce calories too drastically you can cause more harm than good.

So, long and the short, drink up! Even mild dehydration (which you probably won’t even notice!) can cause bloating and added water weight. Constantly sip water throughout the day and when you feel satiated at the end of the day, drink another glass. You’ll wake up feeling leaner, slimmer and better all around!

I had tried everything to lose weight, i went on loads of diets, i went to my doctor time and time again and he was not interested, i even asked if i could be given a pill that doctors give out for weight loss but he refused so i was now desperate and would have tried anything.

After listening to claire hegarty on the show and listening to what she had to say about hypnotherapy, i decided to contact her, now you have to understand at this time i was still not believing hypnotherapy could help you lose weight but i did want to know more.

She explained all about hypnotherapy and weight loss and how it works to help you lose weight and i was very interested and started to feel maybe their is light at the end of the tunnel, maybe i can get back my ideal weight. I agreed to meet her and after getting on well with her i became her client. And i have to say, that i am so happy that i am now four stone lighter and still losing weight.

So what i have to say to you is, do research by all means into weight loss hypnosis, but it does work and do go to an expert and see the diference it will make to your life as it has made a huge difference to my life but make sure that they are an expert. Just because they do hypnotherapy, it does not mean they are an expert in hypnotherapy weight loss, when making an appointment ask them are they experienced in this and do they have good results.
