Drinking Water to Lose Weight

by michael on August 30, 2010 · 0 comments

Did you know that drinking water can help you lose weight? Of course you did, but did you know that the benefits go beyond simply filling you up so you eat less? It’s true. Read on for details.

According to researchers at Virginia Tech, individuals who drank a half liter of water shortly before each of their daily meals lost more weight than those who did not. The really interesting part of this study is that all participants consumed the same number of calories.

In other words, the additional weight loss was due to the water consumption itself, not to the “filling” effects of the water. Of course, in the real world, you’ll also benefit from the increased feeling of fullness, so adding a pre-meal drink will have likely produce a dual benefit.

So… Drink up if you want to lose weight!
