Trying to lose weight? I know this sounds so simple but sometimes simple solutions can work well! Many people believe that drinking water helps them eat less. Brenda Davy has evidence that it works. The associate professor of nutrition at Virginia Tech assigned 48 overweight men and women aged 55 to 75 to eat a low calorie diet.  Half were told to drink 2 cups of water before each meal.  After 12 weeks, the water drinkers lost about 16 pounds while the offers lost 11 pounds.  “It’s an easy way to manage hunger and lose weight,” says Davy.

Have a hard time trying to drink water?  Try adding some citrus fruit to it like a lemon or an orange.
