How To Lose Water Weight Overnight
What Causes Water Weight
The main cause of water weight — aka water retention, water weight gain, fluid retention, edema — is electrolyte imbalance and/or mineral deficiencies and depletion, which can be easily resolved and fixed naturally by making a few simple modifications in your diet and lifestyle.
How Much Water Weight Can You Lose In A Day
When you follow the recommendations listed below, you can lose up to 7 pounds in a day, and up to 20 pounds of water weight in 3 to 5 days.
First and foremost it is important to look at the dietary and lifestyle causes of electrolyte imbalance and mineral deficiencies:
Foods Causing Water Retention — The Dietary Causes:
1. Processed foods — If you are mainly consuming processed foods — which in addition to lots of chemical additives, contain lots of nutrient and fiber deficient refined simple carbohydrates, cheap oils, salt, and sugar — which deplete essential minerals, your body will retain a lot more salt, become acidic, and retain water.
2. Too much Caffeine — Caffeine is naturally a powerful diuretic which dehydrates the body, irritates the bladder, and is very acidic.
3. Too much sugar — In addition to being the main cause of weight gain, being nine times more addictive than cocaine, eating too much sugar can cause acidic conditions and generalized inflammation, even known to be the cause of early dementia and cognitive problems.
4. Alcohol — In addition to being a strong diuretic and highly acidic, new research has shown that alcohol in any amount is toxic and harmful to body cells especially liver and brain cells.
5. Not drinking enough water — The essential need for water is only second to breathing or our need for air. If you don’t consume enough water and your body becomes dehydrated — starving for water — it will hold on to any fluid it can from foods you eat, because the body’s greatest super-power is survival whatever it takes!
Summary: Any food or drink that causes acidity will deplete minerals and electrolyte imbalance in the body which cause unwanted water weight gain.
Lifestyle Causes:
1. Poor quality sleep — Not getting sufficient deep sleep causes both mineral depletion and electrolyte imbalance because without enough quality sleep the body is left in the state of stress producing stress chemicals which are highly acidic.
2. Sedentary and inactive habits — The human body was created to move. Inactivity slows down circulation which reduces the rate of nutrients and oxygen delivery to the cells and tissues and increases fluid retention and water weight.
How To Lose Water Weight Quickly:
1. Increase your consumption of nutrient and mineral rich foods. Check out the article: What Is The Best Food To Eat To Lose Weight. Choose to only eat organic, to avoid the effects of toxic chemicals sprayed on conventional foods and produce.
2. Balance electrolytes and increase essential minerals — To balance electrolytes start your day, every day, by drinking 16 to 32 ounces of water with the juice of a whole fresh lemon. You can get extra good quality electrolytes and minerals by eating 3 or more other citrus fruits, such as oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, etc. with your lemon water in the morning. An additional excellent source of natural electrolyte and minerals is green leafy vegetables, you can consume them either in large daily salads or as fresh juices. To preserve the nutrients in the vegetables when juicing, choose a cold-press juicer such as Ventray Masticating Juicer, which has a high juice yield.
Here are 2 easy electrolyte/mineral rich juice recipes:
#1
1 large apple
1 Kale leaf
4 Lettuce leaves
1 Medium cucumber
4 Stalks of celery
1/2 Lemon with skin
To make this juice recipe into a delicious nutrient-rich meal, in a blender mix the juice with 1 medium sized avocado.
#2
1 Large hard pear
3 Inch stalk of broccoli
1 Inch piece of ginger
1/2 Lime peeled
1 Kale leaf
2 Inch piece of fennel
4 Stalks of celery
To make this juice recipe into a delicious nutrient-rich meal, in a blender mix the juice with 1 medium sized avocado.
The benefits of fresh juices are enormous when it comes to electrolyte balance and getting large quantities of vital minerals, and a wide variety of other naturally occurring micronutrients. You can choose the content of your juices by coming up with your own juice recipes using green leafy vegetables, and moderate glycemic fruits such as apples and pears. And to make any fresh juices into a meal, blending a whole avocado with the freshly prepared juice, multiplies the amount of essential electrolyte/minerals, and is an amazing source of essential fatty acids and vital amino acids.
3. Reduce/Stop Caffeine Intake — For most people drinking coffee — or other caffeinated beverages — has simply become a daily habit, and it’s really not something that wakes them up or gives them energy in the morning or any other time of the day. And you can easily break that habit by substituting it with a hot beverage that tastes exactly like coffee but will not cause harm and imbalance and deplete vital electrolytes/minerals your body needs. That substitute is grain coffee, and a good example is Dandy Blend.
4. Reduce/Avoid Sugar Intake — Interestingly, as you increase your consumption of high nutrient chemical free foods, you will reduce your cravings for sugar and foods that contain sugar and simple carbohydrates.
5. Avoid Drinking Alcohol — Just like coffee and sugar, drinking alcohol can become an addictive habit. Most people who make the choice to stop drinking, miss the bitter taste of alcoholic beverages which can be resolved by substituting non-alcoholic bitter tasting beverages, such as non-alcoholic beer.
6. How Much Water Is Enough — When you drink 16–32 ounces of water/lemon first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything else, your body will more than likely not need more than another 16 to 32 ounces of water during the rest of the day. It is important to note, your body specifically needs water, so don’t think you can substitute another beverage and count it as drinking water.
7. Adequate Sleep — The importance of deep refreshing sleep when it comes to your overall good health cannot be overstated. The body’s internal clock or circadian rhythm requirement for sleep are very specific and include 7 to 8 hours of sleep between 9:30 PM and 5:30 AM, for the most natural and healing sleep cycles. For the most restful results, stop eating or drinking at least three hours and turn off all electronics at least an hour before going to bed, and lastly, turn off all the lights and noise sources that may keep you from falling asleep.
8. Stay Active — Staying active greatly improves circulation and keeps the body from fluid and water retention. Engaging in activity doesn’t mean exercise, it simply means doing simple movements every half hour to an hour for up to 5 minutes, such as standing up from a sitting position, walking in place, raising your hands above your head, or moving/dancing to your favorite music, are all beneficial activities that keep you from gaining water weight. As you continue to do these simple activities every hour on a daily basis, you will start to enjoy how good it makes you feel, and that will lead you to become even more active more often.
As you can see, losing water weight can be easily accomplished by following a few simple recommendations.
