Drink Lots of Water

Muscle is made up of more than 70 percent water. A high-protein diet requires more water as do intense workouts since these both are dehydrating activities. Water is also needed to transport vitamins, minerals, supplements, and even foods throughout our bodies. If our water intake is too low, our muscle fullness decreases, and a toxic buildup of ammonia, urea, uric acid, and other bad stuff can start to accumulate in our bodies. That’s why, to stay hydrated and pumped throughout the day, we should make it a point to drink about a gallon of water each day with and in between our six meals.

Those are the basic nutritional principles in the Fitness Made Simple program. Following them will help build muscle and burn fat. However, if you are particularly concerned with fat loss, you need to consider one additional factor.
