Chapter 1: The Importance of Hydration

Are you curious about the best method to stay hydrated, feel satiated, and consequently reduce your food intake? The answer is simple: increase your water consumption.

Drinking plain water, without any additives or flavored drinks, has been a revelation. Initially, I found it challenging to drink a glass every hour. It felt monotonous and somewhat pointless. Yet, I persevered. Admittedly, there were days when I struggled, but I continued because I noticed positive changes.

I often think of my late Aunt V, who used to motivate us with her mantra: "Just do it, are you ten?" This encourages me to pour a glass and remind myself that achieving anything significant requires determination and persistence.

Research from Johns Hopkins University reveals that water does more than just satisfy thirst; it also curbs appetite, helping to reduce cravings for those extra snacks.
