A member asked:
Drinking a lot of water each day- does water itself cause body fat loss or is it that it fills you up more?i have a high body fat % & want to lower it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water not soda: Drinking the right amount of water (not too much) helps keep you hydrated, an important factor in staying healthy. Drinking water instead of soda helps fill you up and decreases your caloric intake, aiding weight loss. Physical activity's also important. It's about balancing the calories you eat vs. burn per day. Consult your MD to check for medical reasons for high body fat and best diet for you.
