Drink water:
Staying hydrated is essential in the weight loss journey. Nutritionist Alan Aragon, during an episode of the podcast The Model Health Show said, “There’s something really interesting about satiety and what I call the ‘water trick’. You can actually preload with plain water before each meal. You will eat significantly less following the water preloading. This is a good thing to do when you go out to eat dinner, especially. Two tall glasses of water upon sitting down before they bring over the fresh bread and the butter: that will significantly cut the amount of calories you end up eating.” Also read | Drink 2 glasses of water before a meal: Nutritionist shares weight loss trick; find out if it actually works
