Tip of the day: fluids please!

Just found something interesting on the internet, which I more or less already knew about but I never really thought of properly.

They say you should drink more than often, because your body needs the fluids. But it also helps when you want to eat less without being hungry. This is because you body is confused about whether it is being thirsty or being hungry (!!!!). So in other words: you think you are hungry but in fact your body asks for water.

So the tip is: Grab a glass of water first! When you are still hungry after half an hour you can consider grabbing a healthy snack.

Before I started losing weight I hardly ever drank anything. When I did I had a glass of water so it wasn't that difficult for me to leave the coke or pepsi or sprite aside. I just hardly drank. Instead I went for a twix or marsbar. I've been watching my weight for almost two weeks now and I drink a lot of tea. With a lot I mean 5-6-7 cups of tea a day and water during lunch and diner. I feel so much fuller now I do that. It's amazing! Yet so obvious and stupid I'd never thought of it before.
