Easy remedy
for weight loss and health
One of the easiest ways to help curb your hunger is on-tap right in front of you. Water!
According to a study by Dr. Brenda Davy, associate professor of human nutrition, foods and exercise at Virginia Tech, she found that those overweight subjects who drank water before a meal ate 75 fewer calories at that meal. That doesn’t sound like much – but if you ate 75 fewer calories at all 3 regular meals for the next year, that would be a weight loss of 23 pounds. The results were published in the July 2008 issue the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between thirst and hunger, and so we reach for unneeded food when we actually need hydration. With summers arrival in Houston, it makes it more necessary for us to pay more attention to our fluid intake. If you are thirsty, you are already behind the curve. So stay ahead of your thirst. Water is the best – but all liquids help, except for caffeinated beverages, which can act as a diuretic.
Making dietary and fitness changes are not easy. So, call and make an appointment with Wellness Coach Sam Hester, CWC, CPT, LWMC, at 713-500-3327. It's confidential and free. For more information on the wellness services provided, visit UT Counseling and WorkLife Services.
