If you want to weigh less, you’ve got to eat less, right? Well, if you take in too few calories, it can cause your body to lose muscle mass, which will decrease the rate of your metabolism. Plus, when you skimp on calories, your body slows the rate at which it burns calories to conserve the fuel it’s got. Under-fueling is just as risky as over-fueling and in an attempt for quick, noticeable weight loss, many people wrongfully believe that eating as few calories as possible is the best solution. Not only can this lead to numerous nutritional deficiencies, it can actually have the opposite effect on weight loss. Simply drinking more water may increase the rate at which healthy people burn calories. After drinking approximately two glasses of water your metabolic rate increases by 30 percent plus it helps to build your muscles! The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn.
