What’s the best way to lose weight?
The answer to that might sound obvious – expend more calories than you take in. You won’t win any scientific prizes for guessing that one but one simple trick might will help you on your way to shedding a bit of weight.
Just drinking one pint of water before each meal could help people lose some pounds, according to a new study.
University of Birmingham researchers got one set of obese subjects to pre-load on 500ml of water before every meal and another set to ‘imagine they had a full stomach’ before eating’.
The pre-loaders lost an average of 4.3kg over 12 weeks while the group that just used their imaginations lost only 0.8kg.
