Let’s face it – gym memberships are only getting more expensive than they should be, and “miracle” weight loss pills never cuts an inch off your belly fat. Fortunately, researchers have found the cheapest (and probably noblest) way to lose weight – drinking more water.
A study has found that adults who drank two cups of water before a meal lost around alb more than a group that didn’t drink the extra water. The research also included a review of 11 different studies that looked into how drinking water impacts a diet, three of which showing clear evidence that consuming more water helps increase weight loss.
Professor at Virginia Tech Brenda Davy, said that water could help ‘squelch’ in the feelings of hunger and help dieters reduce their calorie intake. Rebecca Muckelbauer, a researcher at the Berlin School of Public Health, Charite University Medical Center Berlin in Germany, who led the review, agreed the feeling of fullness was the most likely reason for the weight-loss.
She also suggested the “water-induced thermogenesis” could be behind weight loss too: “Drinking water itself increases energy expenditure of your body. It has an energy consuming effect”. However, she did admit that it is not very well studied.
And while the result show that drinking water may aid in weight loss, she said that not everyone who drank more water are not necessarily slimmer. Some found that obese or overweight adults drank more water than people of normal size.
Whatever it is, it’s important to replenish your body with clean fluids to stay healthy and flush out the bad toxins swimming in your internal system. So, shall we start drinking 2 glasses of water before each meal and see if our weight drops by the end of the week? We’ll take on the challenge!
