How to lose 206 calories a day without even trying

Eliza Cracknell bodyandsoul.com.au

Such a simple game changer.

We're often told it's the small tweaks that can help us reach our weight loss goals faster, and for the naysayers this new study might sway your opinion.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has discovered a way for you to consume 206 fewer calories a day. It mightn't sound like a lot but according to the Pennington Biomedical Research Center weight loss predictor, that's just over half a kilo a month.

All you have to do? Drink three extra glasses of Water a day.

Researchers surveyed 18,000 people about what they ate over two days and they found those who drank more Water consumed fewer calories. Easy, hey?

Besides from the obvious perk of being a much healthier choice than sugary drinks, researchers say water can make you feel less hungry, causing you to eat less.

In the study, participants drank on average 4.2 cups of water per day with a lower total calorie intake was calculated for those who had more than this.

The study suggests one extra cup could see you cut 69 calories from your day, 137 calories with two extra cups, while three extra cups will help you trim 206 calories.

Conclusion? Drink up.

@@OzRoo Thank you, thank you. That's such a good information and a great motivator for me to drink up. I needed it because the last 3 days I've been struggling because I just haven't felt thirsty.

Yes, I read it this morning and it gave me motivation to drink more Water also!

I knew of the benefits from drinking Water, but the cutting down on calories really made my day

For nearly 2 weeks I've been having problems swallowing thin liquids due to left sided facial paralysis. Once I was off the IV fluids I had a very hard time managing 32 oz of Water a day.

I had a dramatic improvement with my face starting Friday, my swallowing improved and I was back to 64 oz a day. My weight loss was at a stand still, I actually gained 11 pounds (fluid) from the IV and the steroids. Down to 254.5 today hopefully be back to 253 tomorrow and back on track.

Will start adding 8oz a day.

Good luck Aggiemae,

Sorry to hear about your facial paralysis. Glad it is getting better!

Yes, steroids can be bad weight wise ....

Earlier post op it was tough for me to drink lot of Water or fluids.

I was able to guzzle a lot in one go, after 4 months post op. Still can now. I still add bit of juice or lemonade to my Water, makes it easier to get it down.

Was the paralysis from the surgery somehow?

Yeah, more Water definitely worked for me.

Yup, I'm 10 weeks PostO, and stalled for 2-3 days after not drinking Water, upped my Water and am losing since.
