Can Simply Drinking More Water Help You Lose Weight

People often recommend drinking more water as a way to help you lose weight. But is there any scientific evidence that this recommendation actually helps? It turns out that there is. . . .

 

A systematic review of the research on drinking water and weight loss found that, although drinking water may have no effect on body weight for people who are not on a diet, for people who are on a diet program for losing or maintaining weight, drinking more water in addition to your program reduces weight more than just following the program.

So there’s a safe, easy way to enhance weight loss that’s good for you anyway!
