Top 5 Myths About Weight Loss
Myth #5 of 5: Filling Up on Water Curbs Hunger
It’saWeight Loss Myth that you can replacehunger with water.One of the oldest diet falsehoods in the book isthat drinking water, particularly ice water, helpscurb hunger and melt fat away.
Let’s be clear: drinking water does not dissolve fat. And drinking ice water does not burn calories.

The bottom line:chugging water won’t make you lose weight. It might make you bloated and give you indigestion, though. It’simportant to stay hydrated—but at the right time.
