University of Colorado kidney specialist Dr. Richard Johnson has studied this phenomenon and give us the blueprint for understanding how it works. Lots of salt and little water, and sometimes caffeine rich soda, dehydrates our bodies. That dehydration, in turn, stimulates the production of the sugar fructose from the carbs and starches we eat. That extra fructose encourages more eating, and many foods add even more fructose in the form of high fructose corn syrup. The dehydration also stimulates production of vasopressin that encourages your kidneys to retain more water, The vasopressin also stimulates more fat production.

What should you do? Drink plenty and I mean plenty of water. To keep it in your body, cut out excess caffeinated beverages including coffee and soda. I didn’t say all…I said excess. Avoid salty carbs like fries. That will help your body stop manufacturing excess fat. The non-calorie icing on this proverbial cake is exercise exercise, exercise!
