Drink a glass of water before eating a meal

Heres a tip that I like to think of as a weight loss clas­sic and also a very easy way to lose weight fast. That tip is to drink a glass of water before you eat a meal. Its one of the eas­i­est to fol­low tips. I mean, whats hard about grab­bing a glass, fill­ing it with water and then drink­ing it?. By doing this you can poten­tially lose lots and lots of weight.

This post actu­ally somwhat related to our por­tion size arti­cle where we cov­ered por­tion sizes and what the best size por­tion to have is etc. You can actu­ally reduce your por­tion size by drink­ing a glass of water. This works because when you drink the glass of water it sits in your stom­ach and makes you feel full. As a result of feel­ing full you eat less.

Although this sounds like a quick fix and most peo­ple read­ing this will prob­a­bly ask ‘what hap­pens when the water digests, wont you feel hun­gry again?‘the short answer is most likely yes but when you get think­ing it doesnt really come into it as most peo­ple eat late and by the time you start feel­ing hun­gry again your prob­a­bly going to be asleep in bed. Another thing to keep in mind is when diet­ing you usu­ally snack on healthy things like car­rots and fruit etc mean­ing that you prob­a­bly wont notice the hunger from your water drink­ing binge.

Although drink­ing water prob­a­bly wont work for every­one as some peo­ple prob­a­bly wont feel full like they would if it was actual food, I do know some­one who this worked for. One of my cousins who was roughly 16 stone at fif­teen is now six­teen and although i dont know how heavy he is, hes lost a lot of weight and when I say a lot I mean dras­ti­cally a lot. Dont get your hopes built up though thats not through the water method its actu­ally because hes into mixed mar­tial arts and trains a lot now. The water method how­ever does con­tribute as I know he drinks a pint of water before every meal to help him feel full.

So there you have it, get to the pub and get your self a pint glass sou­veneir you can drink your water out of.
