Water Your Way Thin

We’ve heard many times that we should be drinking more water when trying to lose weight.
It has long been believed that drinking water fills your stomach, making you actually feel fuller.

Now a US study has confirmed this belief. According to the study, people who drank a glass of water before their meal ate 13% less calories than those who didn’t drink the water. This was regardless of their age, weight or sex and whether or not they regularly drank water.

Scientists concluded that people should drink 2 cups (500ml) of chilled water before consuming their meal. This will slow the rate of the emptying of the stomach and promote fullness.
