Do you drink water before meal or after meal?

Hello agentalice. I drink water with food supplements before the meal and I like to have a glass of water on the table during the meal. The glass of water definitely has to be there whenever hot and spicy mexican or indian food is on the menu. Usually I will have a hot drink like a coffee or tea after the meal with something sweet. I don't drink water to eat less, as I think I can also keep my weight down by eating more fruits and salad, but it was interesting to see you make that point. Have a good weekend. UMart

I uaally have a drink during my meal becuase eating my food often makes me feel thirsty.

I drink water during and after meal.

I drink water before, after and during my meals, I have a very dry mouth which make it very unpleasent to eat without drinking. I was told sometime ago that if you drink during or right after your meals it slow the digestion. i don't know if this is true or not.

if my mouth is not so dry before dinner, i would choose to drink water after meals~~ i think before meals if i drink water i may feel a little full in my stomach and eat less maybe~~ but after meals when i drink water i would feel more comfortable,maybe it also makes my mouth clearer~~

[i][b]lol hey thats actually a good way to prevent eating and lose weight !! well i normally eat after the meal because hate it when i get full by drinking water !! also drink during the meal if i need to [/b][/i]

i used to drink after meals so that I will be able to eat everything i want first... Then i gained so much weight by doing that all the time... So what I'm doing now is that I'm drinking first before my meal so I would eat less... haha... After doing it for 2 weeks now, i lost 1 and 1/2 lbs. Cool eh?

hey agent_alice I drink water after completion of my meal. Occasionally I drink water during the time of meal if it is so spicy. It is learnt that drinking water after meal is good for health from the digestive point of view. pkc3000

I drink water before, with and after my meal... lol Water is pretty much all I drink, except maybe some orange juice but i will only have maybe one or two glasses of something to drink that is not water. I like drinking with my meal though it helps you get full faster. it is really good... its best when its not really cold but just has a light cool taste to it. thats when i like it best.

I'm always drinking water, before, after, and during a meal, because I'm always thristy. Given how much you're supposed to drink in a day anyways you need to spread it out, or you'll never drink it all.

i sometimes drink a little bit water before meal. but i don't drink it just after meal. it is advised that we don't drink after meal as it will cause our digestion can't digest the food we ate properly.

It is a good practice to drink water after half an hour after any meal. This is what I practise.

I drink after meal to get everything down.

I usually drink after the meal. Grew up doing that. But sometimes I drink before meals especially when I get really thirsty. Anyway, you are absolutely right and I totally agree with you. Drinking before meals makes you full and eat less. I'll do that next time since I need to lose some weight.

i do not have problem with my weight,so i usually drink water after my meals.it is known fact that if you drink water before a meal,you normally eat less.happy mylotting.

After meals.. But during the course of my meal, I drink a lot of water and still, I will always end up still hungry.

I usually drink after meals. But if what I'm eating is rather dry, I will drink sips of water during the meal.

I drink water before, during and after meal.

I drink water during my meal.
