One of the most effective ways to lose weight, a new study says, isn’t by taking pills or adopting a fad diet. Instead, it’s by drinking water before meals.
Researchers at Virginia Tech found that subjects who drank 16 ounces of water before each of their three daily meals lost 50% more weight than their control subjects.
Here’s what they did: The researchers divided dieters (who ate no more than 1200-1500 calories per day) into two groups. Half the dieters were told to drink a 16-ounce bottle of water before all three meals. The other half drank water, but were not given any advice about drinking it.
After 12 weeks, both groups lost weight, but the dieters who drank before every meal saw a 44 percent boost in weight loss – about 4.5 pounds greater.
