Weight Loss Tip: no.431

Eat foods with high water content.

Care to guess why?

Yup, you should eat water-rich foods to increase your daily water intake. That itself is of importance to someone trying to slim down because the first stage of the fat burning process can’t begin without water. Aside from water-rich foods providing the essential component in lipolysis, or the breakdown of fat, there’s another reason to consume them.

Why else you should eat water-rich foods has to do with their high water content helping to stretch the stomach and send signals to the brain that it’s fed, thus allowing you to feel full on a few calories, of which water-rich foods are generally low. Additionally, many water-rich foods also contain filling nutrients like fiber or protein that work to enhance the satiety effect of water. In unison, these properties not only promote portion control at a feeding but can also drive down the desire to eat between meals, which has the potential of lowering your overall energy intake. Some foods with the highest water content are listed below, as well as what percentage of water they’re composed of.
