    Its said that having water immediate after you had your lunch or dinner is bad.. i dont get a complete feeling till i drink water after my food.. a friend said just gargle with water..but that doesnt help. Is drinking water post food real bad for lose weight or can i continue.

    I drink water before, during and after meals. There have been zero bad effects. It has not kept me from losing weight.
    Please ignore your friends.

    also would be nice of people to not ridicule who put up questions to clear their doubt, no no it doesnt affect me much..just for other people who are not very comfortable to take the ridicule ...and come out to clear their doubts or food n health myths. We are here for each other to boost each other..clear our doubts..and have fun too in the process.. thats why the forums :)
    What ridicule? I see people talking down about your friends, but not about you.

    I would stop listening to your friends about fitness and nutrition.

    Another link... also theres a lottsa links that says otherwise.


    The difference between that link and the Mayo Clinic one is one is based on actual medical research and one is not. Mayo Clinic. -Doctor.-

    This line in particular makes my blood boil: "Though doctors can recommend that there is nothing wrong with drinking water during meals. As per yogic/ ayurvedic philosophy you must drink lot of water throughout the day, but avoid drinking water during meals."

    Okay. I'll listen to a doctor over a yoga instructor on that, who likely has not taken any real classes on physiology or dietetics. Thanks buh bye.

    It's the fire that's in your digestive track that processes all your food by burning it. Hence why you sometimes get gas, it's a byproduct of the burning. Or at least that's what people tell me, so it's gotta be true.

    Ladies and gentlemen, please learn how to vet sources so you don't trust excrement filled sites.

    7. If the stomach tone is less than normal, excessive water stays a long time in stomach interfering with digestion.

    But this makes sense too. So confused.

    I had a friend tell me that it was bad for me to drink water BEFORE meals. Something about it messing up the stomach lining. I was just like, "uhhhh... ok".

    I think it's bad form to try and make someone feel like a fool for asking a simple question.

    I'm in the camp of there are dumb questions. However I'm not saying this is one of them. Challenging the OP to think about the question and maybe come up with the answer himself/herself is not bad form.

    Every time I think I have reached the end of the internet and have seen every variety of bizarre and random *kitten* it could possibly throw at me, it hits me with something even weirder.

    If this is 'weirder' for the internets to you then you don't internets enough. I once saw a Chinese lady and a.....well never mind.
