so recently someone had a question will

drinking more water help me lose weight

so I want to quickly answer it okay they

may have missed my earlier videos on

this so I’m just gonna do a new video on

this so you can watch a lot of YouTube

videos that will tell you that drinking

water will help you lose weight and

they’ll say it’s scientifically proven

so they pretty much have three points

that they talk about the water will

replace these calories from food and of

course you’re going to eat less and

eating less ends up causing you to lose

more weight okay well where do you know

that a low calorie diet doesn’t work

okay it’s gonna cause you to be more

hungry what you want to do is you want

to switch your body over into ketones

ketones are a better fuel source and

most people have a tremendous amount of

potential energy or fat to tap into to

get them to lose weight so drinking more

water does not cause you to tap into fat

loss okay next thing you talk about is

it will reduce hunger and sometimes

they’ll they’ll say that well when

you’re hungry it really means that

you’re thirsty so you if you drink more

water it’ll trick your body into

satisfying your hunger well maybe for a

little bit until you have to peel the

water out but as far as water goes it

it’s not the best thing to reduce hunger

you want to again adapt your body into

burning fat so your hunger completely

just goes away

okay so to do that you want to drop

insulin insulin is the key hormone that

makes you hungry for two reasons one is

it stimulates hunger and number two

it’ll drop your blood sugars and that

alone will cause you to be hungry so to

reduce insulin you want to reduce your

carbs and decrease the frequency of

eating okay if you do that your body

will adapt and you will not be hungry

okay so drinking water is a trick to

reduce hunger is just basically a waste

of time all right and the other thing

they say is that water will stimulate

your metabolism absolutely not true what

will stimulate your metabolism is

lowering the dominating hormones that

will nullify all six fat burning

hormones okay so these hormones are the

fat making hormones insulin estrogen in

cortisol

these three slow your metabolism there

are six evaporating hormones that will

help you burn fat and water isn’t one of

those hormones so we have insulin

cutting carbs reducing the frequency of

eating reducing insulin let’s say you’re

taking birth control pills well that can

add more estrogen and slow down your

weight loss or you’re consuming a lot of

soy which is a bit estrogenic that could

be a problem or you’re on hormone

replacement therapy then we have

cortisol which is activated by stress

and one of the symptoms of high cortisol

is belly fat but what the body is doing

it’s converting protein into fat so and

it’s through the action of insulin

so really cortisol triggers insulin

which then makes you fat especially in

your midsection right through in here

and then we have exercise high intensity

interval training and compound resistant

training and good sleep will help you

stimulate your metabolism if you think

about it when you go to sleep if you

weigh yourself and when you wake up

it’ll actually be a little less versus

wearing yourself in the morning and then

weighting yourself at night you won’t

see much difference so when you sleep

you trigger growth hormone and you

actually are your metabolism is actually

burning fat so it’s totally okay to

drink water and especially if you’re

predisposed to having kidney stones so

there’s a condition called hyponatremia

which is over hydration drinking way too

much water and the danger of that is

that you deplete your electrolytes

specifically sodium and that can create

heart problems but again it’s okay to

drink water and I’m not opposed to that

might be a good idea to add electrolytes

to it but just don’t ever force yourself

to drink like gallons and gallons of

water especially if you’re exercising

because that could be a problem

especially if you’re not taking your

salt all right guys thanks for watching
