Do you drink water before eating?

No, I don't I may drink it while eating but not before. Although that my be a good idea so I won't eat as much. I really don't like water very much but I know I do have to drink more. I think this is a good idea, I will have to try it.

Well yeah its a proven fact that you dont eat as much if you drink water before you eat. I personally dont drink water before I eat because when im really hungry and I drink a full glass of water, I feel a bit sick, and it ruins my appetite somewhat. I just drink a lot of water after I eat. Its just as good for you.

I do drink water before eating, as I'm trying to lose weight. I'm planning to continue drinking water before meals because this tip given to me by a member of mylot has helped me more than some of the other tips.

Hi dawn ,well they use to set a glass of water in front of you but they don't do that here in texas anymore,that i know of.I always have to ask for it.Yes i usually just drink water with my meal,i try to drink more water but sometimes i just forget,and thats sad because water is so good for you.I do remember that water was something they always set the first thing when you walked into a restaruant,but i have not seen that done in a long time.They ask what you want to drink and i always say water,but my husband always has a coke,so he never gets water..I think they have started that as a shortcut,im not sure.

I rarely do this but I have a hard time forcing myself to drink water - it's soooo boring.. I never drink the water at resturants because it's usually city water and I can't stand that worst of all water there is.

i drink with my meal not before it !I dont have much of an apitite anymore so i dont wory about eating too much i wory more about not eating enough

This is so true and great if you want to loose some weight. I drink water all day long so therefore I dont drink it right before I eat. Now if I was overweight I certainly would do it. So enjoy that water.LOL

Well yeah its true your appetite will diminish thus you eat less.

Since I am trying to lose weight, I always drink a glass of water before my meals. I find that this helps me get fuller faster, and I won't eat as much. If I have gone out somewhere I will ask for a take out box if there is more than two or three bites left on my plate. It's rare that I go out to eat anymore, so I don't like to be wasteful of another's money if they are paying for me.

I live at high altitude, so I drink all the water I can get my hands on. And I usually drink water at restaurants. and usually need a refill before my food even arrives. Sometimes I even request that they just leave the water pitcher!! I drink a LOT of water!!

I havent thought about that. thanks for sharing.

yes I drink the water, but just a little to alert my stomach that the food is on the move :)

i usually order coffee or soda.i know water would probably be better for me,but it's just preference. the places that leave it automatically,i'd probably drink it also though.

i actually agree, they say you should drink water before a meal so that you wont eat as much because you will already feel full after drinking. some also say to eat a fruit (an orange, an apple or something) just to make you feel full.
