Weight Loss Tip #153 – Eat foods with high water content to consume fewer calories
Here's how you can trick yourself into feeling full and consuming fewer calories!

We’re constantly told to drink as much water as possible to lose weight. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating water-rich foods can help in cutting down your overall calorie consumption. A popular weight loss tip is to drink a tall glass of water before your meal timeso you feel full and eat less. Researchers contradict that and say that this trick doesn’t help since your body has different mechanisms for hunger and thirst and you won’t feel full by only drinking more liquids [1].

Instead, add water rich foods like cucumber, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, carrots and lettuce to reduce your calorie intake. Make a salad and have a bowl of soup during meals. Fruits like watermelon, strawberries, pineapple, orange, plums, cherries, apples and pears are also water-rich foods that will help you in keeping hunger pangs at bay and make you feel more full. The best part is, these water-rich foods are low in calories.

By eating smart and consciously adding certain types of foods to your diet, you can lose more weight and see better results with a slimmer body and better skin and hair!
