Drinking ice-cold, calorie-free water is a great way to help “warm up” your weight loss results. Why? Your body has to burn calories to warm up the cold water to your core body temperature (98.6 degrees).
Drinking lots of water not only reduces your appetite by simply filling you up, but it is also very important for keeping your skin hydrated (just think about dehydrated lettuce to visualize the importance of water to your skin) and your body energized. Reach for ultra-pure bottled water instead of spring water, because it is cleaner and healthier without toxins or inorganic matter. Drink unsweetened tea (green or black) or liposomal powered beauty water for extra antioxidant benefits.
FACT: You burn approximately 7 calories per cup of ice-cold fluid! If that doesn’t sound like much, multiply that times 8 to 12 glasses per day, then times 30 days per month, and then times 12 months to burn 6 to 9 pounds worth of calories per year.
Choose to give fat the cold shoulder by drinking ice-cold water (or other calorie-free fluids like flavored water).
P.S. Have some fun by asking your waiter for “ice-cold diet water”—you will be amused by the puzzled looks you will receive!
My new medical textbook on Nutritional Cosmetics (along with the head of my Nutrition Staff, Dr. Blair) has been published: www.elsevier.com/wps/find/bookdescriptio.... L'Oreal, Nestle, etc. contributed chapters. This is the first medical textbook of this kind.
But, you don't have to read a medical textbook to look younger.

It’s 8:00 p.m. The kids are in bed. You’re eating a bowl of ice cream and surfing the Internet. It’s 11:00 p.m. You fall asleep. At 7:00 a.m. the alarm rings. You get up, shower, dress, wake the kids, dress them, feed them and, by 8:30, you’re out the door. You were so busy taking care of your family that you didn’t have time to eat for yourself. By 9:00 a.m. you are at the office and getting prepared for your weekly staff meeting.
What’s wrong with this scenario? For thirteen hours, your body has been fasting. How can you expect to run efficiently throughout the day if you haven’t fueled up? You wouldn’t expect to take a road trip with your car running on empty. When you go without eating for an extended period of time, your brain reacts by sending signals to the body that you are starving, and your metabolism slows to conserve energy. Then when you finally eat again, the body thinks it needs to reserve energy in preparation for more food deprivation. Therefore it stores calories in the form of fat. So, not eating can actually lead to weight gain
FACT: Some people think that they actually eat more on the days they consume a morning meal than on days that they don’t eat. However, a recent research study debunks this belief. Skipping breakfast causes you to eat more calories!
Studies have also shown that people who eat breakfast eat more nutrients and less fat and cholesterol, are less likely to be overweight, have more energy and better concentration throughout the day, and have healthier cholesterol levels. Eating breakfast every day places you on the downward weight-loss path. On my Slim and Beautiful Diet plan you can start your day with protein-packed bars and shakes. Add fruit for the extra energy and antioxidants.
Choose to feel fuller longer by eating breakfast regularly. Dodge the doughnuts, croissants, and high-sugar cereals: A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!
Bright Bite Do you know the two things you should never eat before breakfast? Lunch and dinner! Breakfast is just that . . . breaking a fast. Those great pastries and goodies at work or church are not best way to get your blood sugar levels back up! Try low-glycemic options to prevent the spike-crash-burn events.
