Water is what drives the metabolism; I will begin by explaining that the water molecule, H2O, has one large atom, which is oxygen, and two small atoms, which are hydrogen. The figure of the water molecule looks like a Mickey Mouse. A large circle that is oxygen and two small ones are hydrogen. Scientifically speaking, the oxygen portion is eight times larger than the two hydrogen atoms combined. That is to say that when you drink water “what you are consuming the most is oxygen” . And it is that oxygen that produces combustion.
There is no combustion, there is no flame, there is no fire without oxygen. For example, if you go to the moon and try to light a match, it does not light, because there is no oxygen. A lady when she is in the kitchen cooking, the stove catches fire because there is grease and the fire catches, well she goes to take a lid and the lid takes away the oxygen and the fire goes out. Because oxygen is what allows combustion. If you want to burn the fat in your body, the fat in the abdomen, the fat in the arms, the fat in the thighs, the fat in the hips, you have to necessarily increase the oxygen in the body. And the most effective way to increase oxygen in the body is to drink plenty of water.
But, how much water is really needed, logic tells us that if you have a small apartment to clean, then you clean it with a small cube of water. But if you have a giant mansion with five bedrooms, with five rooms, then you are going to need a lot of water to clean your mansion. The body is the same; we use the same logic. Through these years working with obese people, with people with diabetes, with people who have a slow metabolism problem, we developed a formula and arrived at one that works in all cases.
This formula adjusts the amount of water you will drink daily, the number of glasses of water you need daily relative to your body size. And that causes your metabolism to wake up and you can actually burn fat. It is very important to hydrate. The formula that we have been using with great success, which is also explained in the book “The Power of Metabolism”, is the following; If you calculate in pounds, let's say a body weighs 160 pounds, for example, we divide the 160 by 16 that gives you 10. That 10 represents the number of 8-ounce glasses of water daily that a 160-pound person needs. If you were a much heavier person, weighing 240 pounds, when you divide that by 16 that's going to give you 15 glasses. You will say, “But so much water!” Let me tell you, you are not going to drink all that water in one go. You take it during the day.
What we have seen is that when you get close to using this amount of water, the metabolism has no choice but to increase, because the oxygen increases so much that then combustion increases and you will notice that when you start drinking enough water, as is in this formula, you are going to notice two things. One, the first thing you are going to start is to lose weight. You will notice it in your clothes. Your clothes will start to fit more and more comfortable. And you will start to lose weight even if you eat the same atrocities that you always eat, even though you haven't changed your diet. Because the mere fact of putting so much oxygen inside your body creates natural combustion, removes toxins, completely eliminates acids from the body, increases the alkalinity of the body and automatically the body begins to burn fat. So you will notice that you start to lose weight.
And the other thing you'll notice when you start drinking enough water is that your hunger goes away. It has already been discovered that there are two sensors in the lower back part of the brain. There is a sensor that is called the thirst sensor and next to it, a few millimeters away, is the hunger sensor. That is why many people really feel hungry when they are thirsty. And many times they are eating too much, simply because their body is lacking water. But when you hydrate your body very well, hunger is drastically reduced. Why do you stop that hunger sensor from turning on? Because you give it water that the body needs, and then the body does not ask for food. So this is the formula.
Now, for those of you who are in countries where weights are calculated in kilos, let's do it in kilos. In kilos it would be divided by seven. Let's say you weigh 70 kilograms, so 70 divide by 7 and that gives you 10 glasses again. These 10 glasses are calculated in milliliters, we are talking about 250 milliliter glasses of water, which is the same as 8 ounces, per day. Also know that 10 glasses are generally going to equal 5 bottles. The most common bottles sold on the market are 500 milliliter bottles, or 16 ounces.
So now you know that it doesn't matter what your weight is; In pounds, you divide it by 16 and you already know how many glasses of water your body requires per day to recover your metabolism and overcome a slow metabolism. If it is in kilos, divide it by 7. You can also calculate it in bottles. The good news is that by truly hydrating your body you will see that you can lose weight, that you have energy, your skin improves, you sleep better, you can go to the bathroom better because it even helps with constipation, you lose weight, you feel energetic, It even removes heartburn. So drinking water is miraculous and the truth always triumphs.
