One of the simple but scientifically proven effective methods is to drink water before lunch. This not only helps control hunger but also supports the body to digest better and boosts metabolism.
According to the study, testing was conducted on two groups of overweight people. The first group drank 500ml of water before meals, the other group did not. Results after 12 weeks showed that the group that drank water before meals lost an average of 2 kg compared to the group that did not drink water. The reason is that water helps create a fake feeling of fullness, reducing the amount of food consumed in the next meal.
In addition, water also plays an important role in speeding up metabolism. Drinking about 500ml of water can increase your metabolic rate by 30% in about 3040 minutes after drinking. Increasing metabolism helps the body burn more calories, effectively supporting weight loss.
Drinking water before lunch also helps limit the choice of high-calorie foods because the brain receives fullness signals earlier. This is an easy meal that causes many people to overeat or choose fatty foods such as fried foods, fast food - the main factors for weight gain.
However, it is important to drink the right amount and at the right time. Experts recommend drinking a glass of 300500ml of water about 2030 minutes before lunch for best results. Do not drink too much right before eating because it can dilute digestive juices.
