Water

"Ready to amp up your weight loss efforts? Sip a huge glass of H20 before meals. A new study says that drinking water 30 minutes before every meal could help you lose 9 1/2 pounds in 12 weeks. Wow! We love this study, because it cuts through a lot of the confusion buzzing in the media about Mother Nature’s ultimate health drink."

Of course, that would require thinking more than five minutes before I eat that I'm going to eat...

The whole article, from that renowned dietary expert source The Idaho Statesman, dated 5 Oct 2015, is here.

ooh, I need to get on to that. Although I'm a very much 'drink immediately before eating' person. But summer is coming my way, and dehydration becomes more of a problem. But it might be part of the solution to my current 'wander in to kitchen and snack issue' - a friend once said 'if you are peckish, and don't know what you want, it is water', so I've been trying to get back to drinking a half cup each time that happens. Mind you, when I was working from home, I managed to train my thirst cue to be 'I want chocolate' that way, because I always had water before eating chocolate.

That is brilliant. What a good rule of thumb.
