Before, During, and After?

[BigCbaby50]

I was watching TV last night and the had a special guest who had lost 70lbs in 6 months. His claim was that he would always drink an 8oz. glass of water before he ate ANYTHING, one more WHILE or "During" eating, and one more AFTER. So three glasses of water ANYTIME you put food into your mouth. What do YOU think?

I think he's filling up with water and eating less.

Same idea as the slice of 100% whole wheat bread 30 minutes before eating, and apple 30 minutes before every meal, or taking fiber suppliments with water 30 minutes before every meal...fill up on something with low calories and don't eat as much.

It works, but you've got to be careful with something like that to make sure you are actually getting the right nutrients you need...it borders on a very low calorie diet if you don't watch your intake closely.
