Water and weight loss

Everyone knows that drinking water is very important and without it life would not be possible. If the effects are known salutistici drink water instead of hydration is often overlooked from the point of view of weight loss, even if the man is composed of 60% of water.
It is now known that weight gain can be attributed to several factors, including a reduction of energy expenditure, a reduction of energy use and an increase in energy intake, but most people ignore that increase the daily consumption Water is widely recognized as a strategy to lose weight. Epidemiological studies suggest that energy intake is significantly lower, by about 9% or 194 kcal per day, those who drink a lot of water compared to those who drink little, and that the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with increased weight and obesity. Recent studies have shown that increasing the ingestion of water decreases the consumption of high-calorie drinks and increase the consumption of 1 liter of water per day in overweight women is associated with the loss of weight of about 2 kg more than to women who drink less than 1 liter per day in a year of dieting. In addition, laboratory tests have shown that the water consumed during a meal reduces the feedback of hunger and increases satiety.

In a recent study, conducted at the University of Virginia in 2010, it was shown that between two groups of overweight people who followed a low calorie diet, weight loss was different between the group that had to drink 500ml of water before each main meal than the other group that was not to drink before meals, the first group has lost 2kg in more in the same period of time.
Although the exact mechanism by which weight loss is greater with increased consumption of water is currently unknown, you can consider ways:
First, changes in subjective feelings of hunger and satiety are associated with an acute reduction in meal energy intake, this might actually help people lose weight and increase the feasibility of a low-calorie diet.
Secondly, replace sugary drinks in the diet with water can lead to an overall reduction in energy intake, in fact, epidemiological data suggest that drinking caloric beverages increases by about 400 kcal daily caloric intake.


So in light of recent studies it is important to increase the consumption of water during a weight loss diet and keep the weight off.
To facilitate the reduction of body weight by following a low-calorie diet is absolutely appropriate to drink in small sips and splitting the water during the day up to 2 liters of water per day, it is important to drink two glasses of water when you wake up and 2 glasses of water before main meals.
