Can drinking water help you loose weight?

Dr. Sheila Calderon answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Yes: If you drink a glass of water prior to every meal you will cut 75 calories off your daily intake. If you drink half your weight in ounces (if you weigh 150 pounds, drink 75 ounces daily) you will increase your overall health and eat less high calorie meals.
