Can we lose weight by drinking water before our meal ?
28 أبريل 2014

د. Salim Saab طب الأذن والحنجرة
Drinking water before a meal does not help lose weight unless it is accompanied with a real diet.

No, it is unrealable for losing weight. The way to lose weight is by dieting and exercising if there is no health problem causing overweight.
Concerning drinking water before meals, it may fill your stomach with water which won't make you eat much but this way, you may interfere with food digestion. There is no doubting the fact that drinking too much water during meals can interfere with the natural and necessary levels of bile and stomach acid. This would slow the digestion process and reduce the body’s ability to produce enough digestive enzymes to digest food properly.
Drinking water about 30 minutes before or after you eat is much better and it will help keep the body hydrated which results in optimal digestion.
So. drinking through meals beside the fact that it affects digestion after 1 hour, you will also find yourself hungry because you falsely filled your stomach.
