Your stomach doesn't know the difference between water and food.
There are times when the scale betrays me and goes up instead of down. Ever have days like that?
There are days when I want to eat a nice big lunch, but I know that I'm going to a party where a nice big dinner will be served. Ever have days like that?
There are days when my belly AND my mouth are hungry, but I know that I've already eaten too much already. Ever have days like that?
Did you know that if you drink a bunch of water your belly will feel full and you won't want to eat as much? In fact, if you drink a whole lot of water your belly will feel a little bloated and you'll feel sick if you eat too much.
Oh, and water has no calories, so you can drink as much as you want without a guilty feeling!
So, remember: Your stomach doesn't know the difference between water and food.
