As we all know, water is a very important aspect of our lives. How much are you all drinking? Since I'm dieting down, I'm drinking as much water as I possibly can lol. What about you?

Incredible as it may seem... Water is the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off!
Although most of us take it for granted...
Pure, clean water may be the only true Magic Potion for permanent weight loss!
Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase!
And an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits!
Here's the reason why...
The kidneys cannot function properly without enough water. When they do not work to capacity, some of their load is dumped on the liver. One of the liver's primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But if the liver has to do some of the kidney's work, it cannot work at full throttle.
As a result, it metabolizes less fat... more fat remains stored in the body and weight loss stops!
Drinking an adequate amount of water every day is the best treatment for fluid retention. But when your body is given less water than it needs... it perceives the shortage as a threat to survival and will begin to retain every drop. Water reserves are stored in extra-cellular spaces (outside the cells). This water can show up as swollen feet, hands and legs.
Diuretics only offer a temporary solution at best. They force out stored water along with some essential nutrients. Again, the body perceives a threat and will replace the lost water at the first opportunity. Thus, the condition quickly returns.
The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give your body what it needs - plenty of water - only then will stored water be released.
If water retention is a constant problem for you... excess salt may be to blame.
Your body will only tolerate sodium in certain concentrations. The more salt you eat, the more water your system retains to dilute it. But getting rid of unneeded salt is easy -- just drink water! As the water is forced through the kidneys, it will remove the excess sodium.
Over weight people need more water than thin people. Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that water is the key to fat metabolism... it follows that the over weight person needs more water to metabolize excess fat.
Water helps to maintain proper muscle tone... which in turn, aids proper muscle contraction and prevents dehydration. It also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weight loss. Shrinking cells are buoyed by water which plums the skin and leaves it clear, healthy and resilient. Water helps rid the body of waste. During weight loss, the body has more waste to get rid of - all that metabolized fat must be shed.
Again . . . Water helps flush out this waste!
Water can help relieve constipation...
The colon is a primary internal water source. When the body gets too little water, it siphons what it needs from internal sources. Result? Constipation. But when a person drinks enough water... normal bowel function will return.
So far, we have discovered same remarkable truths about water and about weight loss... the body will not function properly without enough water and cannot metabolize stored fat efficiently. On the household weight scales... Retained water shows up as excess weight.

Excellent post, YellowJacket! The key word here is PURE! Coffee, soda pop, tea and gatorade do not work the same as PURE H2O. If it's not pure water, it is not doing the same job flushing the system and metabolizing fat that water does. Spring water sans fluoride is best as it provides the best source of overlooked, but vastly important trace minerals. Water softeners remove these minerals as well.brandozzz said:
That's a good indicator of adequate water intake. The only time urine should be deep yellow is shortly after ingesting vitamin B-6. At all other times colored urine indicates a mild state of dehydration.ZWENGY said:

You may or may not know that my thread in the Anabolic Minds mod forum, "Will the real YellowJacket please stand up?" was the beginning of his downfall. It was reprinted at Anabolic Universe and other boards, but was my thread, and I spent days looking up his nonsensical posts at over 20 boards.

Then, when he was welcomed back, I resigned.

But in the long run, all it did was frustrate me. Pudgy, Doom, Chemo, and many others have always been fast friends with him, and I got tired of arguing with them. YJ's thunder is gone, and now he is just dabbling in supps, where he can cut and paste to his heart's content. I was given a wake-up call by one of my best online friends, when he sent me the following e-mail after I had not heard from him in nearly a year.
"John,
I have not visited the online world for a long time. For some odd reason, I went to take a peep at BB.com . The stupidity and silliness at BB.com have escalated since my departure.
Most days I just carry on as if I am on a military mission, where you have no time to think nor for reflection. It is basically that " there is a mission at hand, let's get to it" .
There is little time to think about anything else. People I work with are NOT guided by the same principles and code of honor that men such as you live by. That simply reduces my interaction with them to nothing beyond what the business requires. But luckily there is always a few that belong to the Jurassic era that you and I belong to. We the "Jurassics" are a dying breed that still believes in and live by a code of honor.
So, why are you, John, still wasting your time and effort on arguing with these trolls?
In Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf advised Frodo, that, "all you have to do is to decide what to do with the time that is given to you.." If you are kicking the trolls' teeth for kicks, that is fine. But, my friend, negative thoughts irradiate negative thoughts and they soil your heart and soul. Why waste your talent and time on such petty endeavour? What do you hope to accomplish? Do you think they will change as a result of your effort? Each must walk our own path. They may grow up and come to their senses, in course of time. Then again, they may not. Either way, neither the enlightenment of the trolls, nor defending the insecure mods, would enrich your life or Sarah's life, nor would they enlighten you.
I understand you are driven by a personal sense of duty to stand up against moral wrongs. Each of us is given a finite amount of time on earth, you have to decide what the most productive and worthy pursuits are, my friend.
Ken"
YJ asked me a long time ago for a fresh start, and after reading Ken's letter, I sent him a pm telling him we would let bygones be bygones.
BTW, I knew that was brandozz. That's just my dry sense of humor.

YJ is an avid reader and extremely intelligent. I really think he absorbs most of what he looks up, and can give some very good supp advice right off the top of his head.
