Today we’re going to be talking about how to drink water to lose weight, the scientific benefits of drinking more water, and how much you should be drinking.

The human body on average can survive 3 weeks without food but only 3 days without water.
www.livescience.com/32320-how-...
Here’s exactly why drinking water helps us lose weight.
#1. It Increases Resting Calorie Expenditure
In a study of overweight women, increasing one’s daily water intake over a 12 month period helped them lose an average of 4.4 pounds.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
This was impressive because these women made no other alterations to their lives other than increasing their water.
In fact, people’s resting energy expenditure has been shown to increase by 24-30% within 10 minutes of drinking water.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
So drinking water naturally increases resting calorie burn.
#2. People naturally eat less when they drink water.
In one study, 2 groups of dieters were separated. One group drinking water before meals and one not drinking water before meals.
The ones who drank water before they ate lost 44% more weight than the group who did not.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
Another study also showed that drinking water before breakfast reduced the number of calories consumed during the meal by 13%.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
#3. Water Replaces Calorie Filled Drinks
Since water is free of calories, it is generally linked with reduced calorie intake.
Studies have shown that people who drink mostly water in their day consume 200 fewer calories per day than those who do not.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
#4. Water is Muscle Fuel
Your muscles are about 80% water and not surprisingly, optimal hydration is key for lean muscle growth.
Seeing as the more lean muscle you have on your body, the higher your resting metabolism will be, this is another way water helps you lose weight.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
There are also other health benefits of proper water intake.
Mental Alertness - One of the most common symptoms of dehydration is mental exhaustion. Proper hydration has been shown to improve brain performance.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
www.sciencedirect.com/science/...
Improved Digestion - High water intake ensures the, uh, bowels move smoothly.
www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v6...
Pain Prevention - Cartilage, the rubbery material coating our bones, is 85% water, and staying properly hydrated makes sure our joints move smoothly.
So getting in the right amount of water is key for being healthy as well as losing weight.
The best times to drink water for weight loss
#1. Right when you wake up - A warm glass of lemon water in the morning helps to build a healthy habit and boost the metabolism.
#2. 30 minutes before meals.
This will help you naturally eat fewer calories and consume the proper amount of food.
#3. When you are getting hungry.
Our brain often confuses being hungry for being thirsty. So next time those midday cravings hit, try a glass of water before eating a snack. You’ll be surprised how often you’re not actually hungry and the brain is simply bored.
How much to drink per day?
You’ve probably heard the saying of drink 8 cups of water a day,
However, this number is completely random. It’s a good place to start, but water requirements depend entirely on the individual.
ajpregu.physiology.org/content...
A quick check to see how hydrated you are is to look at your urine as it should be mostly clear with a tinge of yellow and no real smell.
A strong yellow color indicates you’re not hydrated enough and need more.
Also, be aware that drinking liquids like tea do count to your daily total.
Let’s finish with a few strategies to get in more water!
Buy a big BPA Free Water Bottle - This is the easier way to keep track, and I will link a good brand in the description.
Rubber Bands - Wrap a rubber band around your bottle every time you drink a cup of water to keep track
Add some fruit - Water can get boring for some people, and adding cucumber or other fruits helps to add some flavor to your water.
Finally, if you’re still forgetting, set a reminder on your smartphone. You can do this yourself or use an app to keep track of your daily intake. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Thank you for watching Natasha!
You are welcome, sorry that is my daughter name Natasha, I am Nona, I think her picture is just here

The Health Nerd explain scientifically how massages are good for you
Natasha Karim Saaaaame.
just put a bottle on ur phone and whenever u want to use ur phone u will have to first drink water ... my trick
TheGamer nice idea....... But my phone isn't waterproof....
Taeminion alert
No u put the glass / bottle of water on top of ur phone so when u want to use your phone u have to take off the glass / water bottle of first, might as well take a sip
I would have to drink 50 water bottles a day then.
I'd drown and be dead
how about put a water bottle lockscreen
Water makes me pee, too much.
Have you tracked intake? As stated in the video, the right amount is different for everyone.
Michael Bonner Me too, but if I drink in small doses and more often it helps a lot. Also in summer I don't pee as much because my body evaporates a lot of H20. But the worst is if I have an 1,5h exam and I cant leave the room. The stress is causing my bladder to fill super quickly.
There is no such thing as peeing too much: water in, water out. You're the one who is doing the water in, so. ...
its good, it cleansing your body when u pee bc of water. And the color of ur pee will be clearer..
When I started drinking 80-100 ounces of water a day I was peeing very frequently and it was quite irritating. Haha I still drink the same amount but what I’ve found is if I drink more water in the first half of my day and taper off throughout the day I pee less and don’t wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom either. I drink at least 20oz to start my day since that’s when I’m most dehydrated. I have much more tolerable peeing habits now. Haha
my tip is to use a straw, i realized that I drink way more water when I use a straw :)
cigdem eroglu same too bro
I can't use a straw for some reason because I drink more water without it.
yeah, i just slurp it away and don't even realize how much i drank lol
Save the turtles.
Ranaaahh reusable straws sis
Of course I get a Coke ad before this video
Yooooo armyyyyy wussup wussup do you know annyeonghaseyo? Have u found jimins jams? Who is ur bias in bts

Oh my God this little animated character is the cutest thing ever..
I started my weight loss journey yesterday and ddaaammnn, I always go to the bathroom to pee because I've been drinking 8 glasses of water. Man, if I add one glass, I feel like I'm gonna drown.
hows it going man?
So did it work out?

I’ve been drinking lots of water recently (8 bottles a day) and omg. I feel so much better. I’ve been getting more sleep. My urine turned from dark yellow to basically no color. I’m way more energetic than I used to be. I’m not always eating. I feel like being up and going outside. Like. Omg. I love water.
Officially saying goodbye to soda and basically everything else.
2:14 got me rollinggg lmaooo
I just love your voice!
Used to be self-conscious about it so thank you :P
No need for that :p i just love to hear you in your videos. I can hear every video and your voice is soothing.
Liliana Fernandes I agree. His voice is very nice to listen to. 😊
Liliana Fernandes so calm
This video made me thirsty.. Who else?
That joint movement triggered Me damn
lol
I actually got up and tried that move.
The Health Nerd I drink like about 8 water bottles a day is that healthy?
Exp Edition is not Kpop Bye I agree way too much with your username
Love your videos! I can go a hole day without drinking anything...I simply forget because I don't get thirsty. It has always been a struggle for me
I am going to drink as much water as a can, the last time I drank water was a few weeks ago, I am hooked on artificial juice and sodas. I don't like the taste of water and I don't know why. But hopefully I'll get better with that.
Edit: I just got a notification for this video, and totally forgot about my comment. Anyways, it's been around a year and a half now that I've only been drinking water and cut all other beverages out of my diet. It worked really well for me. I do a lot of sports, Soccer, Rock climbing, and Crossfit, so I kinda needed to be drinking more water. I'm glad I stopped drinking all that other stuff, and now I honestly cannot go back, it tastes so toxic when I drink anything other than water now.
Nandi Muchira well I also hate water but I LOVE COLD WATER XD
Nandi Muchira well I also hate water but I LOVE COLD WATER XD
Nandi Muchira try drinking bubbly water, or add zero calorie flavour drops into water, it really helps, i hate drinking plain water but started with that then switched to cold water... now i drink about 5-6litres a day(in summer, in India since it gets really hot, but otherwise it's like 3-4)
Nandi Muchira you could also add lemon juice
Nandi Muchira I really don't understand when people say "I hate the taste of water" it's supposed to be tasteless ☺
Me: *watches video*
Also Me: *chugs water*
I’ve been drinking about 3L of water every day for the past week and my skin already looks so much better, it also makes me avoid snacking, it’s a real conscious effort at first to drink so much but its starting to become natural/habitual!
I'm loving all these weight loss videos and your stick figure animation is fantastic. Thanks for making all of these, you are amazing.
Where was this page my wholeee life?! You're doing a really great job. 👍
Hahaha your intro song, but without audiojungle tag removed. Makes me giggle. Great video, thank you :)
I trust no man not even the man in the mirror
Short, sweet, to the point and very informative. Thank you.
So glad I discovered this channel. Very straight forward and easy to understand! Thanks Health Nerd haha.
the craving thing about food is absolutely true.
You have the best page. Please do a video on lifting, muscles,
Hope you continue doing these videos. Really helpful. Love them
I love how the sources of information are linked in the description
I honestly love your videos. They are very helpful and encouraging. I have subscribed to this amazing channel because I love your videos and because I love dolfins. I hope to see many more videos in the future.
I have always struggled with drinking enough water for two reasons: 1. Frequent water intake causes frequent restroom breaks and my jobs rarely allowed that option. 2. I find that without some type of flavor I crave other sources of flavor which lead me back to sodas. My solution was to use various amino acid products which have fantastic flavor and often add few if any calories or carbohydrates. Plus the body can definitely utilize the Amino's which are the building blocks of muscle. Also I try to ramp up water intake before the end of my shift or about 30-40 minutes before a meal break so I can remedy the bathroom breaks. I love your videos-well presented keep up the good work!
this channel is so good. i hope it keep growing, more people need to know you
Thank you so much Joao. Share the word :)

This video topic may seem a little basic, but after quite a few requests and some thought it needed to be done. Drinking water is one of the most basic fundamentals of being healthy that many people seem to be confused by.
Hopefully this video will shed more light into the topic and help you understand what drinking more water can do for you. :P
Remember to like the video and leave a comment if you enjoyed it :)
Thanks again everyone.
Cheers!
Did you forget the link for the water bottle recommended brand???
Crap. Totally forgot. Here's what you should use: amzn.to/2dEZurX (that's an affiliate link so I do get a very small percentage if you buy at no cost to you!)
The Health Nerd Love your reactions! ... Lol
It's a good thing that you take your time to respond to your followers.
Keep it up!
CONGRATULATIONS! I have been losing more weight because of drinking water with lemon and apple cider vinegar. Also, I consume 4-5 liters of water while working out aside from my regular intake when I am not in the gym. This is a great, yet ignored information by some!
Can you do a video about skinny fat and how to get rid of the condition? I really enjoy your videos. :D
Can you talk about the military diet that has been going crazy for a few days now?
This was the best video on scientific reasons water intake correlated with weight loss. Thanks!
Awesome videos!
Just wondering: how do you make your videos? What softwares for the animations? What gears?
Please reply! Cheers!

I was stupid ait
Michael Jackson that's one way to think of it, but think of it more to make yourself better, not get revenge. If you do it for yourself, you'll feel better and not just spiteful
Michael Jackson nah boo do it to make him regret and then eventually you'll be doing it for you
Michael Jackson I mean, not everyone is going to like you. You seem to entitled
Maurice Lester not like that he's gonna regret but like yhe person over u said im doing it for myself not because of him
Maurice Lester maybe his crush doesn't like him based purely on weight.... which is petty and fixable I mean this is the king of pop we are talking about, what's not to love.?
great video, very helpful!
I love that this is all backed by real studies

But it just makes me want to pee all the time 😭
I have to leave my desk several times a day just to peeeeeee and no one else leaves that often
A very great personality has once said: Drink more, so you pee more and have to ignore people more 😉
I drink 4 or 6 glasses and I pee rarely just take the right amount of water
I love this channel please keep on posting

The background music is so energizing yet not overbearing. It is refreshing to hear as well. I wonder though is there an amount that is too much? What about plain seltzer with nothing added on the label?

doesn't work haven't drank soda in 10 months and only water in those past months and still I'm fat why..??😫😖😥
Jarisma Perez drink more water
Jarisma Perez idk maybe exercise or have a better diet ?
Jarisma Perez You may be incidentally upping your food intake because you are drinking less calories. Try drinking water before you eat. It could also be water retention. Some medications make it difficult to loose weight because they cause your body to retain water. Talk to your doc.
JohnnyThe9th ! Thank u this did work ..i lost 16 pound in total😊😂😂
Who got thirsty after this video

U GUYS ARE DOING AN AWSOME JOB...KEEP IT UP..😊👏 congratulations
So when you fell hungry, so watch this video and hear what it says - "When you fell hungry, drink a glass of water, because you're not hungry. It's just your brain there's telling you it"
3 weeks later:
Parents says:
"Our son died by hunger. He never ate for brrakfast or dinner... He just took a glass of water and walked back to his room.
Right before i died he tolded us he has followed weight loss videos on TH-cam about water. Now we know why he died.
Now we hope he is in a better place."
R.I.P. These randoms parents son (AKA: Martin)
