  • I think I said this before, anyhow, I'll say it again; You rock Rachel!

    It is true that water help you lose weight, water helps the metabolism, which in turn help you loose weight. All this water that we love!

  • Why, thank you.

    Proper hydration helps curb cravings towards unhealthy food and overeating in general. As a result, most people reduce their caloric intake, lose weight (if that's their focus), and maintain an optimal weight range.

    P.S. Remember to support reusable containers and recycle any plastic bottles used.

    Shine on!

  • Hiya Rachel, great broadcast! Just one thing, I believe the thesis on the drinking of coffee as being dehydrating and thus needing to be balanced out by additional drinking of water is obsolete. It was retracted in the scientific community I believe last year and published in the international press. Love, Marion, Germany

  • I'm curious to know who funded the research and how it was conducted. The bit I've read on it doesn't seem that conclusive. Since coffee's a diuretic and it's acidic I don't know how it could not have a dehydrating affect (if not short-term than long-term), especially when sugar or dairy's added.

    No matter what, it's still important to consider that a huge amount of coffee is grown with pesticides and such and that it influences hormones, heart rhythm, bone/mineral health, etc.

    Shine on!

  • That's a VERY common challenge. Strategies are key.

    For instance, if you're eating something like chips or crackers put the desired amount in a bowl rather than eating from the bag. You'll eat less that way. Also create a habit of eating away from the TV, even if you just start with 3 nights a week. You can do it! Maybe I'll make a video with more ideas. :)

    Shine on!

  • "You can survival 5 weeks without food" = Wrong

  • Do a little more research. A range of people from yogis and monks, to prisoners or protestors have gone much longer than 5 weeks without food.

    The point isn't to prove how long someone can go without food anyway. It's illustrating how crucial water is. Thanks.

    Shine on!

  • you would like the book "You Are Not Sick You Are Thirsty, Your Body's Many Cries For Water"

  • Simple Truths like drinking water can be powerful , however simple truths are so easy to do and also not to do. Most of us need to Hydrate, Hydrate, hydrate. THKS HR

  • Drink distilled. Avoid the tap at all costs. Also, daily headaches can be caused by bottled water. Not because of plastic leeching but because of self interested people putting toxins in their products. Ideally you should distill your own water.
