How many glasses of water do you need a day to consume to lose weight?

According to nutricist and dietologist Suschma Jaiswal the general recommendation is to drink between four and eight glasses of water a day, considering factors such as age, gender, and weight, writes Express.co.uk.

Meanwhile, women should aim to drink between eight and nine glasses to help lose their weight.

If you drink one to two cups of water before eating, it has an extraordinary effect on weight loss, because then you tend to eat less”, she said.

The professional also mentioned that by getting water hydrated before eating, you may feel more satisfied and consume less calories, eventually helping to manage weight.

Once the stomach is satisfied, it communicates to the brain that you no longer need food. Drinking water can also help by filling your stomach, giving you a sense of satisfaction and reducing hunger.

By reducing your appetite in this way, you can stop yourself from eating too much, which can contribute to weight loss.

Plus, if you feel hungry, it can actually be a sign of thirst. Choosing a glass of water instead of food can be all that your body wants and helps you to avoid unnecessary chewing.

“Research indicates that individuals who consume two cups of water before eating tend to lose weight at a faster pace than those who do not. Water plays a crucial role in the distribution of nutrients to all cells in the body, making it essential for the weight loss process”.

If you are not a fan of simple water, she recommends that you combine it with lemon juice or add some raisins for extra flavor. /Telegraphy/
