Atkins Diet: The Importance of Water

In this video, I deal with the importance of water in a low carb or specifically Atkins Diet. Like any diet, water is important to make you fill full, keep you hydrated for exercise, and to quench your thirst. Its importance can not be stressed enough in a low carb diet though as its additional benefits, such as:
* its role in metabolizing fat
* its role in reducing Induction Flu symptoms
* its role in flushing the toxins and by-products (like ketones) from the system through your kidneys

I deal with the quesiton of how much is required per day and even make some suggestions on how to make it more palatable for those hydro-phobic people like I was. My suggestion is to look at water intake like a necessity similar to exercise. For somethings you just need to get it over with and get on with life. Eventually, it won't seem as bad as it might when you are first starting, and given the prospect of lower than optimal weight loss, why wouldn't you drink it?

Thanks again for all the views and comments.

@the7thwreck Yep, this was back from a time my kids still found me making videos unique and interesting. Now it's sometimes begging them to be camerapersons...

rather than refilling a smaller bottle with multiple trips back and forth from the tap or water cooler at work, i just keep a 2 ltr bottle handy all day, therefore it is more convenient. Also another important factor is that ice cold water is not always better than water at room temperature.

@moewishaw I find drinking cool water much easier than drinking ice cold water too. I have 64 oz mega cup at my desk that I fill up once or twice a day as well.

Back when I was in shape I drank at least 2 gallons a day and I felt great!

@BarbershopHero Water is still the thing I most struggle in getting right each day, but it is something definitely worth doing.
