More than half the time when you are hungry, you may just be thirsty. When patients ask, what’s
the most important thing I can do if I want to lose weight – one of the first things out of my
mouth is always, make sure you are drinking your water. You don’t have to drink water. Your
body can’t tell the difference between water, coffee, iced tea, Diet Coke, etc. It doesn’t matter
what non-caloric fluid you drink. But you need to keep drinking, to keep hunger at bay.
