Are you tired of hearing about the latest fad diets and miracle weight loss pills? Well, I’ve got some good news for you – losing weight can be as simple as drinking water! But there’s a catch – when is the best time of day to drink water to improve fat loss? Don’t worry; I’ve researched for you.
Firstly, let’s talk about how water affects our metabolism. A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that drinking 500 milliliters of water increased energy expenditure by 25% for 60 minutes. This means drinking water increases our metabolic rate, contrary to what we previously believed. But here’s the exciting part – the increase in metabolism is not caused by heating the water, as even drinking isosmotic saline didn’t trigger the metabolic effect. Instead, it concerns the decrease in osmolarity, which happens when water is absorbed into our osmosensitive structures.
So, when is the best time to drink water for weight loss? If you want to increase your resting energy expenditure, drink a liter of straight-up water first thing in the morning. This will boost your metabolism without any extra effort on your part. If you plan on doing endurance work or cardio, you must remain hydrated to effectively liberate fats. This means drinking electrolyte-infused water during your workout or after.
Of course, it’s all about balance. Drinking purified water will induce the thermic effect and increase your metabolic rate, making fat loss easier. However, electrolytes are essential if you want to prioritize hydration and performance. I recommend using LMNT electrolytes, which come in various delicious flavors and can be purchased with a free sample pack at drinklmnt.com.
Now, let me share a personal story to illustrate how important hydration is for weight loss. I tried a low-carb diet a few years ago to lose some extra pounds. I was drinking a lot of water, but not enough to properly hydrate myself during the hot summer months. One day, I went for a run and suddenly felt incredibly dizzy and weak. I had to walk home the rest, feeling defeated and frustrated. It wasn’t until I realized I was severely dehydrated that I understood why my weight loss had plateaued. As soon as I started drinking more water and incorporating electrolytes, I felt better, and my weight started to drop again.
In conclusion, drinking water is crucial for weight loss. You can boost your metabolism and stay hydrated by strategically incorporating straight water and electrolyte-infused water into your routine. Just listen to your body and drink enough water to support your goals. Cheers to you and your weight loss journey!

Summary of Transcript:
New research shows that drinking water uniquely increases energy expenditure. A study found that drinking 500 milliliters of water increases metabolic rate by 25% for 60 minutes, whereas drinking isosmotic saline did not have the same effect. The decrease in osmolarity by absorbing water into structures increases metabolism, so saline does not increase metabolism as water does. However, saline is excellent for hydration as it absorbs faster. It is important to balance being adequately hydrated and increasing metabolic rate. Drinking purified water in the morning (about a liter) can increase metabolic rate first thing without doing anything else. It is also essential to be adequately hydrated before endurance work, as dehydration makes it harder for the body to liberate fats. During a workout halfway through, adding electrolytes (such as Element drink) is recommended for hydration and performance. Sipping on electrolytes throughout the day keeps the body hydrated, and periodic spikes of purified water induce the osmosensitive group effect to increase metabolic rate.
