Weight Loss Tip #3

Judy Dodd, a past president of the American Diabetic Association says "If people want to keep their nutrients in balance, they need to drink plenty of plain, unflavored water every day”.

As a rule of thumb, you should drink a half-ounce of water for every pound of body weight daily, unless you’re very active, in which case you should increase your water intake to two-thirds of an ounce per pound of body weight daily. So if you weigh 100 pounds, you should drink 50 ounces of water a day as a minimum.
