Knowridge Science Report takes an in-depth look at drinks attributed with weight loss. There are lots of so-called diet drinks on the market that are supposed to help people lose weight. However, research has shown that replacing those drinks with just drinking water instead can actually be more beneficial to weight loss.
Key Takeaways:
- replacing low calorie ‘diet’ drinks with water can help increase the rate of weight loss in obese women with type 2 diabetes
- 81 overweight and obese women with type 2 diabetes who were trying to lose weight to control their diabetes were recruited.
- For the post-lunch drink, these women were asked either to substitute water for diet drinks, or to continue drinking diet drinks
“”The result showed that women drinking water after their main meal at lunch time over 24 weeks lost on average 1.16kg more than the women who drank diet drinks after their meal.””
