First, let's be quick to say water is no magic pill for weight loss. Effective weight loss requires work no matter which way you put it. You can recruit effective techniques you may have learned from the latest weight loss magazine but, at the end of the day, weight loss requires willed and steady execution.
One reason is because we often confuse hunger for thirst. Thirst is the primitive feeling that occurs when your body is dehydrated and needs more water. The problem with thirst is the following: since your body also sends hunger signals frequently, especially if it's used to receiving intermittent food, there is a tendency for you to consciously mistake these signals.
How do you consciously know if you are thirsty or hungry Perhaps it's a bit of both, since most people are chronically dehydrated. Nevertheless, most people will eat to satisfy the craving; since it's no surprise that eating is pleasurable.Dehydration is evidently what needs to be avoided, and not only to avoid mixing up sensations of hunger and thirst. If you are dehydrated, you will feel rundown with a general lack of energy. Your body, being the selfish hunger machine it is, will take this opportunity to initiate food cravings. It will mistake the fact it actually needs water to restore its energy levels and choose to lead you to consume food for calories instead.
