Drink Lots of Water
Muscle is made up of more than 70 percent water. A high-protein diet requires more water as do intense workouts since these both are dehydrating activities. Water is also needed to transport vitamins, minerals, supplements, and even foods throughout our bodies. If our water intake is too low, our muscle fullness decreases, and a toxic buildup of ammonia, urea, uric acid, and other bad stuff can start to accumulate in our bodies. That’s why, to stay hydrated and pumped throughout the day, we should make it a point to drink about a gallon of water each day with and in between our six meals.
Those are the basic nutritional principles in the Fitness Made Simple program. Following them will help build muscle and burn fat. However, if you are particularly concerned with fat loss, you need to consider one additional factor.

That gives new meaning to: “Drink until you float!” Wow, 16 cups of water a day - I have trouble getting eight sometimes.

Hi,
I have a problem with drinking lots of water, I always go back to the toilet. I think something is wrong with my system. What do you think?
Hello Reneese,
There’s nothing wrong with your body, you always going to toilet to urinate shows that you are healthy so keep up the good work and always drink lots of water.
