A member asked:
Is it true that if one drinks a bunch of water after a rather fattening meal (cheesy), the water will help prevent absorption of some of the fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but...: Drinking water is better than drinking other beverages that contain sugars, such as sodas or juices. The human body is designed to absorb all nutritional stuff from what is eaten. Therefore, the body tries to absorb all the fat, all the protein, and all the carbs in the diet.
