My “Only Pee Yellow Once” Rule
I have a little rule I like to follow to make sure I’m staying hydrated and keeping my body in the best and most efficient state as possible.
It’s called “only pee yellow once”.
Did you know that dehydration is HORRIBLE for your body? When you’re dehydrated, not only does it slow down the fat burning process, but it also makes you more irritable, more tired, makes you weaker and have less endurance when you workout, constipated, and a whole slew of other things that you don’t want happening in your body.
And as you probably know, if you want to know how hydrated or dehydrated you are – just take a look at the color of your pee.
If it’s yellow, you need more water.
If it’s clear, you’re good to go!
Now, when you wake up in the morning you’re probably going to be peeing yellow because your body hasn’t had water in at least 6-8 hours. That’s perfectly fine.
But the first thing you should do when you wake up is go downstairs and pound a nice tall glass of pure water.
No coffee, no tea, no breakfast.
Just let that water soak into your body for a few minutes and get re-hydrated.
Then after 15 minutes or so, feel free to have coffee or whatever you want for your breakfast. A lot of people say not to drink coffee early in the morning because it dehydrates you but if you’re drinking a big glass of water I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Another great thing about drinking water on an empty stomach is that it’s going to help you stay regular and not get constipated. JUST by doing this you’ll feel A LOT better and more alert!
So go ahead and try this method out.
I bet you’ll not only wake up faster in the morning, but you’ll have more energy throughout the entire day – and if you’re not into the habit of drinking a lot of water throughout the day, I can almost guarantee you’ll see an increase in strength and endurance when working out.
