Water cuts weight
Water is undoubtedly a healthy drink yet could it help you lose weight? Anecdotal reports over the years have suggested that water could help with weight loss but there has not been any thorough clinical evidence to support this; until now.
The new study was a simple one. For twelve weeks the people in the study went on a kilojoule controlled diet. Half them were also instructed to drink two glasses (about 470mls) of water three times a day before each meal. For those who groan about having to drink their two to three litres of water a day, drinking just under half a litre is not a forbidding task.
The rationale behind this is that water is low in calories but still makes you feel partially full. The question is will the theory translate into real weight loss?
As things panned the first part of what you might expect did occur. People who drank water before their meals consumed between 315 and 378 kilojoules less than people who did not. The study lasted twelve weeks and across that time people who did not drink water before meals lost an average of 5kg. People who did drink water before meals lost an average of 7kg.
There you have it; despite all the weight-loss miracle pills and potions that are on the market, humble water can help you lose weight simply by making you feel full and eat less kilojoules. Watch out though, water in a pillĀ products are bound to appear on the market soon.
Here’s an additional, if revolutionary, thought: try replacing any soft drinks that you drink with water. You will be replacing something with around ten teaspoons of sugar and 630 kilojoules with something that has no kilojoules at all. Have your water before you eat and just watch the weight drip off you.
