Exercising and decreasing your calorie intake are ways to help reach your weight loss goal. If you want to maximize your weight loss, reach for your water bottle. For starters, when you eat or drink anything, calories (a.k.a. energy) are used to process whatever you ingested. H2O has zero calories; therefore, consuming water will create a deficit to jumpstart your weight loss.Sometimes hunger can be mistaken for thirst and will lead to an overage of calories. Drinking fluids before a meal will not only help you feel fuller, it will also help you assess your hunger level. If you are dehydrated, your body may actually not need to eat at all. Don't let your body fool you. Symptoms like a gurgling stomach and light-headedness can be caused by hunger or dehydration. Drink a few glasses of water and then assess your hunger. Your waistline will thank you!Next
