That's the number of pounds dieters lost over a 3 month period. Those who drank 2 glasses of water before meals saw a 44% increase in weight loss compared with those who didn't. According to researchers, starting a meal with water shrinks your appetite so you consume fewer calories.
I always have water before my meals and surely I feel full/satisfied sooner! This also ensures I get in my water for the day. Therefore, it can't hurt...so give it a try.

This is incentive!
ReplyDeleteThanks, for the tip, Tiare! I lost 27 pounds, last year, & have 17 left to reach my goal. I'm going to try to put this into practice, to see if I can reach my goal much sooner...in addition to increasing the # of exercise days per week.

This is such a great idea. What a way to make sure you get your water in and reduce your hunger at the same time. Making it my habit starting today.
