 More about Drinking Water for Weight Loss

My Eat Smart newsletter subscribers recently received a hot tip on how drinking more water can help them achieve their weight loss goals.

The tip was taken from my upcoming book,  Eat Smart and Lose Weight:  Scientifically Proven Ways to Lose Weight without Diets or Exercise,  which will be out in the next couple of months.

Many were curious about the research done in this area, so I promised to post some additional information on one of my blogs. 

Multiple studies have documented the effectiveness of water as a weight loss strategy including the studies mentioned below.

• ·        One study found that adults who drank half a liter (17 ounces) of water before their meals lost 44% more weight over a 12-week period compared to those who drank no water before their meals.
• ·         Researchers from Virginia Tech had test subjects drink two glasses of water before each meal.  They lost 30% more weight in 12 weeks than the test subjects who didn't drink any water before their meals.
• ·         Based on the results of a German study on water and weight loss, researchers estimated that simply by drinking the equivalent of an extra 17 ounces of water 3 times a day, a person could lose at least 5 pounds in a year’s time. 
• ·         Another study found that people who drank two glasses of water immediately before a meal ate 22% less than those who didn't drink any water prior to eating.
• ·         According to WebMD (an online health resource), drinking water before meals can result in eating an average of 75 fewer calories per meal.

·         Researchers noted in a "water-weight loss" study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, that the extra weight loss in those who drank water could be attributed to consuming fewer calories and carbohydrates.

These studies highlight only one of the many ways water can be used as a successful weight loss strategy.

I've included at least one water tip in every chapter Almost every chapter of Eat Smart and Lose Weight includes at least one water tip because water can facilitate weight loss in so many different ways,

 EatingWell.com Featured One of My Eat Smart Easy Weight Loss Tips

One of my Eat Smart tips recently appeared on the EatingWell.com website in an article by Lainey Younkin entitled 5 Things You Should Never Do After 5 P.M. If You're Trying to Lose Weight, According to a Dietitian.

It was also featured in Eating Well’s newsletter Nourish: Eating Well for Weight Loss the last week of December.

My tip, which was # Tip 2, appeared as follows:

Eating straight out of the bag

"Don't snack straight out of the bag or box," says Ruth Houston, author of the upcoming book Eat Smart and Lose Weight: Scientifically Proven Ways to Lose Weight without Diets or Exercise. "You risk losing track of how much you've eaten. Measure out one portion for yourself (maybe two). And put the box or bag away and let that be it."

I contributed this tip because this is something we’ve all probably experienced at least once, if not several times:

Enjoying a snack in front of the TV, you put your hand in the package for more and you’re shocked to find that it’s empty. 

You unknowingly ate the whole thing.  

That’s why you should never eat right out of the box or bag.  You can easily lose track of how much you've eaten – something you can’t afford to do if you're trying to lose weight.

Here’s what to do instead.: 

As I mentioned in the tip above, instead of eating directly from the box or bag, take out one serving. Put the package away and enjoy your snack – preferably in another room where it won’t be so easy to go back for more. 

This is one of over 300 easy weight loss tips in my upcoming book Eat Smart and Lose Weight: Scientifically Proven Ways to Lose Weight without Diets or Exercise.

 How Eating with Your Non-dominant Hand Can Help You Lose Weight

 

If you’re right-handed, try eating your meals with your left hand (or vice versa)

Switching the hand you eat with will help you eat less food, even if you’re eating a snack.

The awkwardness of eating with your non-dominant will automatically slow down your eating speed and limit the amount of food you eat.

 A study conducted by the University of Southern California found that simply switching the hand you eat with can help you control your calorie consumption.

 Unless you're ambidextrous, the lack of dexterity will make it harder for you to eat and force you to eat more slowly and consume fewer calories at each meal. 

 Not only will you enjoy your food more, you’ll be less likely to overeat.

Don’t Put Serving Platters on the Table for Family Meals

This easy weight loss tip, taken from my upcoming book  Eat Smart and Lose Weight: Research-backed Ways to Lose Weight without Diets or Exercise   was recently featured on the healthy eating website Eatthis.com 

The reason I discourage putting serving bowls and platters on the table during family meals is that when the food within easy reach, it’s too easy  (and too tempting) to have a second or third helping.  – Not such a good idea if you’re trying to lose weight.

You’re better off plating the food in the kitchen, restaurant-style.  That way you (or anyone else) will have to leave the table to get another helping.  Most of the time we only want a second helping just because the food is sitting there staring us in the face. 

Preparing or plating the food in the kitchen with a set amount of food on it when it’s placed on the table, can cut reduce the temptation to have another helping that you probably don’t need.

Below is the tip as it appeared in Keenan Mayo’s" article "Sneaky Ways You're Gaining Weight and Don't Know It, Say Experts"  which was posted on  the website Eat This, Not That, earlier this month. It was one of 12 tips contributed by various other experts in the field 

You Dine with Platters on the Table, Thanksgiving-Style

One of the easiest ways to avoid over-eating is to make it slightly more difficult to actually reach your food. Conversely, one of the sneakiest ways to overeat is to simply have the entire smorgasbord in front of you all along.

"Putting platters on the table is one way you're guaranteeing that you're going to eat more than you want to," says health and food journalist Ruth Houston. "This will only encourage and facilitate a second and third helping. Instead, always plate your food in the kitchen, restaurant-style."

 Eat Smart and Lose Weight
