Does Drinking More Water Help You Lose Weight?

Water and weight loss: Those who stay hydrated tend to maintain a healthier body weight, but is it cause and effect?

These are the videos in the series I mentioned:
• How to Get the Weight Loss Benefits of Ephedra Without the Risks ( )
• The Effect of Drinking Water on Adrenal Hormones ( )
• What Is the Safest Metabolism Booster? ( )
• Optimizing Water Intake to Lose Weight ( )

I also mentioned my Evidence-Based Weight Loss video ( ).

My book How Not to Diet ( ) is all about optimal weight loss. Check it out at your local library. It’s available in print, e-book, and audio. (All proceeds I receive from the book are donated directly to charity.)

Stay tuned for my next video, How Much Water Should You Drink Every Day to Lose Weight? ( ).

I have plenty more research on weight loss. For example, see:
• Eat More Calories in the Morning to Lose Weight ( )
• Breakfast Like a King, Lunch Like a Prince, Dinner Like a Pauper ( )
• Does Apple Cider Vinegar Help with Weight Loss? ( )
• Is Fasting Beneficial for Weight Loss? ( )
