Hello everyone. Can anyone please explain to me what Water loading is?

I've heard it mentioned, but don't quite understand the concept.

Thanks,

Suzy

Hi Suzy,

Water loading is just a fancy term for drinking a lot of Water before you're planning on eating. I guess the idea is that it makes your lower stomach feel fuller, so when you've eaten your meal you are completely satisfied.

This is something I've done sub- or unconsciously for decades; it's an age-old dieter's habit. Now it has a name, that's all.

Hi Suzy

Alex explained it very well..

I waterload between meals since we can not drink during OR 1 hour after a meal I drink 24oz bottles between meals with my first one in the early A.M. at 6:30 after my 2 cups of coffee

then eat Breakfast at around 8:00am

and then continue the 24 oz bottles through out the day spaced between my meals and hour after meal time. I usually do good and get atleast 4-24oz bottles in a day sometimes more but never less.
