If I’m out of the normal day-to-day, I forget that I’m dieting. Today, my parents and brothers came over to hang out for a while. They brought with them Chinese take out and some chocolate. When they were over, I forgot that I was on a diet and ended up consuming everything they brought over.

It’s a good thirst quencher, it makes you feel full before eating AND researchers from University Medicine in Berlin concluded that water also speeds metabolism. They found that drinking two 8oz glasses of cold water increased metabolic rate by 30% and the effect persisted for 90 min. About one third of the boost came from the body working at warming the water. The remaining 70% resulted in the work needed to absorb the water.

My tip is to drink the water cold.

It’s been a challenge so far but I’ve been more aware of what I am eating and my craving patterns. When you go over the list, you can see that I was guilty of eating pizza, chips and beer. Those items should have been omitted. We won’t see much of them in the future.
