A member asked:

Is drinking a glass of water everytime i want something a good idea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

SORT OF: Probably, but i'm assuming it's when you want something to eat and there arent so many glasses you get bloated and you don't have heart failure or something where overloading with water would be harmful. It might be a good way to convince your stomach you weren't hungry. Everything in moderation - even water.
