Many of us walk around in a constant state of dehydration.  If our goal is to transform our physiques – dehydration is the worst state to be in!  If our bodies are dehydrated by one or two percent; our work capacity and physical exercise performance are going to be significantly compromised.  A lousy, lazy workout is going to equal lousy and lazy results.

This does not mean – drink colas and coffee to meet your hydration needs, because numerous scientific studies have shown that those who consume a 450 calorie sweetened fruit drink gained a significant amount of weight (bad weight) versus those who ate the same amount of calories with whole, clean foods.

The ultimate no-calorie drink is water!  Drink water to meet your hydration needs.  Water is needed for your body’s metabolic and physiological systems to function optimally.  Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink, because by then it may be too late and you’ll be playing catch up.
