My commentary on something from elsewhere on the web.

Drink water, get skinny. Highlights of the journal article:

  • Water consumption is associated with numerous health benefits including greater odds of achieving clinically meaningful weight loss and less weight gain over time.
  • Pre-meal water consumption may be an effective strategy for reducing hunger and meal energy intake, particularly among middle-aged and older adults.
  • The substitution of water for sugar-sweetened beverages or increasing water intake reduces body weight by 0.33 kg compared to control conditions.
