Water Talks — Water and Weight Control: What Is the Evidence?

Our Water Talks webinar series on hydration continues Aug. 13 with "Water and Weight Control: What Is the Evidence?"

The lack of practical and effective strategies to manage hunger and adhere to a weight management intervention represents a critical barrier to the weight management field. In proof-of-concept studies, we demonstrated that pre-meal water consumption acutely reduced perceived hunger and meal energy intake among middle-aged and older adults and that pre-meal water consumption increased the amount of weight lost after 12 weeks among middle-aged and older adults with overweight or obesity. This presentation will address what is currently known about water intake, hydration status and weight control.

Speaker:
