CAN DRINKING WATER HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS?
Studies have shown that drinking water may:
Reduce your calorie intake. If you drink
more water, you're less likely to drink other beverages such as soda, fruit
juices and energy drinks, and this is, I believe, the most significant factor
that explains why higher water consumption promotes weight loss.
Research suggests that by replacing other
drinks with pure water lowers your overall caloric intake by about 9 percent,
or 200 calories a day.
Can reduce your appetite. This effect has
only been shown to hold true in older subjects. Drinking water before meals had
no discernible effect when studied in children.
In a 2010 study,10 adults who drank 500
milliliters (ml) of water prior to each meal lost an additional 2 kilograms
(kg) or 4.4 pounds over three months compared to the non-water group.
