【Video version】Will drinking water make you fat? Doctor: 4 tips to lose weight by drinking water and avoid gaining weight again

Are you hitting a wall when losing weight, and do you really want to hit the wall? Doctors point out that during the weight loss stagnation period, you should drink more warm water, because water is actually a calorie accelerator. As long as you lack 1% of water, your metabolism will decrease, which will affect your weight loss. It is recommended that those who want to lose weight master the 4 key points of drinking water every day, and at the same time combine regular exercise and high-fiber fruits and vegetables to safely overcome the crisis of weight regain.

Xiao Dunren, a weight loss expert and chairman of the Taiwan Obesity Research Society, pointed out that the most common weight loss myth in outpatient clinics is hearing people say that they are "even fattening by drinking water." In fact, water does not have any calories and does not increase body fat. Drinking more water can promote metabolism and gastrointestinal motility, prevent constipation, and protect the kidneys.

If you are stagnant in losing weight, you should drink more warm water

Current studies have confirmed that drinking more than 2000cc of water a day can promote metabolism in the body and maintain health. If you drink water at the right time, amount, and temperature, you can reduce calorie intake, increase calorie expenditure, and achieve weight loss effects. Even drinking water combined with vegetable and fruit fiber intake can effectively reduce the risk of regaining weight.

It is worth noting that obese people often experience weight loss stagnation during the weight loss process. Although medications are more effective in the early stages of weight loss, they need to be discontinued after half a year to a year. If you want to maintain weight loss results for a long time, you still have to start by controlling your diet and other lifestyle habits. Drinking plenty of water is the simplest and most effective way to lose weight.

Water does not contain any calories and will not increase body fat, so it can help you avoid the risk of gaining weight again during the weight loss process. (Situational picture/provided by the gallery)

Drink water to lose weight, don't forget these 4 tips

1. Volume: It should be more than 2000c.c., 2100c.c., and divided into 6 times to drink; 30 minutes before 3 meals, drink 500c.c. of water each time, a total of 1500c.c., and between meals at about 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., drink 300c.c. of water each time, a total of 600c.c., a total of 2100c.c. in one day.

2. Taboo: It is not advisable to drink water after dinner to prevent nocturia from affecting sleep quality. But if you are really thirsty, you can drink a small sip of water or wet your lips with water. Drinking water before the other three meals can allow the water to occupy part of the stomach capacity, reducing the size of the main meals and calorie intake, while replenishing water between meals can increase the feeling of fullness.

3. Temperature: Drink water at room temperature, about 20°C, to achieve the effect of weight loss. Although drinking ice water will increase calorie consumption, once the ice water enters the stomach, it can easily cause stomach cramps and stomach pain, which often leads to ineffective weight loss effects.

4. Exercise: Avoid sugary drinks. If you exercise a lot, it is recommended to drink extra water after exercise. However, if you have a history of heart, lung, liver, kidney and other diseases, the body's water metabolism mechanism may be damaged, so you must follow the doctor's advice on the amount of water you drink. This method of drinking water to lose weight is not suitable for you.

For people who are overweight, diet control is indeed the most effective method in the early stages of weight loss, but long-term dieting can lead to lack of energy, decreased physical strength, and even depression. Therefore, exercise should be combined with it at the right time.
