Study: Water Helps Dieters Lose Weight
Subjects Drank 2 Cups Of Water Before Meals, Ate Less
A new study finds that drinking water before meals can help people lose weight.
Lead researchers from Virginia Tech report just two 8-ounce glasses of water before meals seems to help people shed pounds.Earlier studies found that middle-aged and older people who drank two cups of water right before eating ate between 75 and 90 fewer calories during that meal than those who did not have water.In the study, researchers divided 48 adults between 55 and 75 years old into two groups. One group drank two cups of water before meals and the other did not.All of the subjects ate a low-calorie diet during the study.
Researchers also found that, over the course of 12 weeks, dieters who drank water before meals three times a day lost about 5 pounds more than dieters who did not increase their water intake.Doctors said the data shows it's better for people to drink more water and less sugary drinks in order to manage your weight.
