There are various facts about the relationship between water intake and weight lose. 

Water burns calories 

A recent experiment showed that every 500 milliliters of water consumed burns 24 percent of the bodies calories even during rest. It sounds like a lot, but its actually not that much. Rather, that calorie burn lasts for an hour. If someone weighs 70 kg, drinking 500 ml of water will burn only 20 calories. The energy consumed by the body to purify the water and deliver it to the kidneys, therefore calories, are mainly burned. As a result, there is no positive effect on weight loss. A single biscuit contains more calories than the amount of calories you,  It is  burn  drinking two liters of water. 

Drinking water reduces hunger 

This claim is also true on paper. Many people have the experience of quenching their hunger by drinking water when they are excessively hungry. But it is not the case that hunger is satisfied by drinking water. Instead, water occupies a large area of the stomach. It temporarily reduces hunger. So saying that hunger is completely removed?.  It  is not so,  drinking a glass of water before a meal has different effects on weight.  A study conducted on people between the ages of 35 and 60 found that drinking water before meals helped them lose weight. Within two months, they lost two kilograms of weight. The same experiment was conducted on young people (18_35 years) but no  change was observed.  Drinking water before meals is not a foolproof way to lose weight. Drinking water before meals reduces hunger in older people. It involves eating less, which helps in weight loss. But  this method does not work very well for young people.

Water alone is not enough

Drinking water alone is never an effective way to control  hunger or lose weight. When food enters the stomach, a type of hormone is released from the stomach. Its main function is to inform the brain that the stomach is full. The same happens even if the stomach is filled by drinking water. Hormones from stomach send a  signal, stomach is full, stop eating. But the difference between water and other foods is that just as water does not take time to eat, water also does not take much time to leave the stomach. As a result, you start feeling hungry before time. . But with this water, healthy food can be reversed by throwing dice. Eating fiber-rich foods regularly can help you lose weight.
