Will drinking water help me lose weight?

So what’s the deal with water?

There are all kinds of opinions on how it affects our bodies and our skin. Here’s my take based on my research and my own experience.

Water CAN help you lose weight.

I use water to help me maintain my current weight in these ways:

• I drink a glass of water right before a meal which keeps me from eating too much.
• I have a glass of water when I feel the need to snack. In most cases, I’m actually thirsty and not hungry.
• I drink lots of water when I’m feeling bloated. Less bloat means I look and feel slimmer.

Additional unrelated water tip: I drink a big glass of water before bed so that I have to pee really bad when I wake up in the morning, thus forcing me to get my lazy butt out of bed.

Does water make your skin radiant?

Water also has indirect effects on your skin as well. While many people think that water gives you glowing skin, it doesn’t do this directly.

In fact, water is one of the best ways to flush toxins out of our body. Toxins contribute to acne and blemishes, so it makes sense that flushing those nasties out of our body will help our skin look better.

Needless to say, even if water doesn’t directly affect your skin, it does help to lose weight or maintain your current weight. Not to mention all the health benefits that water provides.

In conclusion, drink up!
