Drink More Cold Water
People who drink water instead of sugary drinks are more successful at losing weight and keeping it off (16, 17, 18, 19, 20).
This is because sugary drinks contain calories, so replacing them with water automatically reduces your calorie intake.
Studies have shown that drinking 17 oz (0.5 liters) of water increases resting metabolism by 10–30% for about an hour (22, 23).
This calorie-burning effect may be even greater if you drink cold water, as your body uses energy to heat it up to body temperature (21, 24).
Water can also help fill you up. Studies show that drinking water a half an hour before you eat can help you eat less (25, 26, 27).
One study of overweight adults found that those who drank half a liter of water before their meals lost 44% more weight than those who didn't (19).
BOTTOM LINE:Water can help you lose weight and keep it off. It increases your metabolism and helps fill you up before meals.
