Proper Hydration to Lose Weight

Options
Water carries waste products, sloughed-off fat cells and toxins out of your body, especially important when you are dieting. It can make you feel fuller after a meal, and make you less hungry before a meal.

Did you know that many times when you feel the urge to eat it is actually a signal from your brain that your body needs water? It's true, according to Brigham & Women's Hospital. So instead of eating a snack, drink a glass of water and wait 15 minutes. Chances are your hunger will disappear.

Water also helps decrease your appetite, according to Science Daily, and plain water doesn't have chemicals and the added caffeine of diet soda, which can be a diuretic. Need a break from plain water? Add a lemon slice.
