Experiment Done

A recent study done in the U.S. confirmed that this fact is true and experts were focused on the answers of the following two questions: 

• Does this system works? 

• If it works, with whom and how it works? 

-Judging from a study published in the journal “Obesity” experts from Virginia came up with interesting results. They followed a group of older respondents (55 years and older) “exposed” to low-calorie diet for three months.

Now, for all this to be more“interesting”, one group drank water before every meal (about 2 cups), and in the other group participants drank water when they were thirsty (never before meals).

After three months, participants who drank water before every meal, on average reduced more than 7 kg/ 15.5lbs, while the other group failed to reduce the average of 5kg/ 11lbs.

The differences of 2kg/4.5lbs seems to be small, but yearly that means 8kg/ 17.5 pounds, and all you need to do is to drink water before every meal!

Small tricks, such as a glass of water, 30 minutes before each meal – can yield excellent long-term results.
