If you’ve decided to join the popular trend called intermittent fasting, we salute you. The task you are about to undertake is not an easy one, but there are things you can do to make it easier. In the moments where you’re not eating but are allowed to drink, here’s why water is not only your lifeboat but your propeller.
Keeping You Full
The main reason people say water is a necessity when intermittent fasting is because it helps you forget about food. This is true to a certain extent, because while it will fill you up—it won’t exactly make you forget about food completely. Let’s be real, there’s a huge difference between a bottle of water and a pulled beef sandwich. However, there’s another reason that water is a major player in these moments.
It Helps Train Your Body
The thing about water is that it’s the cornerstone of what we need to survive, before anything else. This is the primary reason we can drink it while intermittent fasting. Having this “survivalist” mindset is the kind of thinking that many people who lose weight adopt. It endorses the idea that we should eat only when we need to, and not when our mind craves something for other reasons.
