How Drinking Water Helps You Lose Weight

Water is often called the "forgotten nutrient," yet it plays a pivotal role in regulating your metabolism and controlling hunger. Discover the science behind hydration and fat loss.

Drinking Water Benefits

Water and Your Metabolism

Drinking water can actually increase the number of calories you burn. This is known as resting energy expenditure. In adults, resting energy expenditure has been shown to increase by 24–30% within 10 minutes of drinking water. This lasts at least 60 minutes.

Appetite Control

Drinking water before meals can reduce your appetite, especially in middle-aged and older adults. Studies have shown that drinking water before breakfast reduced the number of calories consumed during the meal by 13%.

The Cold Water Trick

Your body uses extra energy to heat cold water to body temperature. This can provide a slight boost to your Metabolism.
