    Stop drinking soda, sports drinks and fruit beverages at meals or on the go. Instead, drink spring water, or fresh filtered water if you have a well. Water can make you lose weight since it has zero calories, and when you substitute it for high-calorie drinks, you win!

  2. Step 2

    Drink water throughout the day, especially between meals. Right before and during a meal, lessen water consumption as it may dilute your stomach acids and impede digestion. Water makes you lose weight when you drink it between meals to avoid hunger cravings.

    Track your progress by weighing yourself weekly and noting how much water you have been drinking each day. Water can make you lose weight by increasing your metabolism and helping you burn more calories throughout the day. Adequate water is essential for good metabolism.
