Drinking more water (or non-sugary drinks) can really help curb your appetite.. There is times we all reach for something to eat instead of just grabbing some water and end up overeating. You mind tricks you into thinking that you are not really hungry – You are normally just dehydrated and thirsty. Next time you’re feeling hungry, first make sure you’re not thirsty. And if you stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water, then you can avoid being confused between feeling “thirsty” vs feeling “hungry.”

CHALLENGE: TRY TO DRINK ABOUT 10-11 CUPS OF WATER OR LIQUIDS (THAT ARE NON-SUGARY, CAFFEINE HEAVY BEVERAGES). OF COURSE, YOU CAN ALWAYS USE FRESH FRUIT AND MINT TO HELP MAKE DRINKING WATER MORE ENJOYABLE.

Oh, and here’s a bedtime TIP some of the FWX staff have used for muscle-building: drink a glass of water before bed. When you wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, have an isolate whey protein shake ready in the fridge. Drink it and go back to sleep.   This will help you to continue to feed that hard-earned muscle so that you can recover and grow throughout the night. SIMPLE!
