Drink more Water and you may Drop more Weight...

Many people do not care for water. I am one of those people. I don't like the smell, the taste and I think it is just boring. Well, here's the deal. Water is great for you and great for your body! Clinical evidence shows that drinking water prior to eating can be an effective weight loss tool. A study led by Brenda Davy, PhD, RD, at Virginia Tech showed that middle-aged and older people who drank 2 cups of water right before eating a meal consumed 75-90 fewer calories. Over the course of 12 weeks, dieters who drank water before meals three times per day lost about 5 pounds more than dieters who did not increase their water intake. Water is so effective because it fills up the stomach with a substance that has zero calories. People feel fuller as a result and eat less calories.
