Tap in to an easy way
to prevent overeating.
A Virginia Tech study showed 48 overweight subjects on a diet who drank a two-cup serving of water 30 minutes before each meal for three months lost four and half pounds more than those who didn't drink the water.
The researchers concluded the water drinkers experienced a sense of fullness that helped them eat less. Allowing between 10 to 30 minutes to pass before you eat is the trick -- the water has time to have its filling effect, but any longer than 30 minutes and it's probably too late to benefit from the fullness-factor.
