They assume that by drinking lots of water , it can help release the fat in the body.
However , recently a nutritionist claims that it was just a myth. Dr. Beth Kitchin from the University of Alabama revealed that consuming lots of water is not the key to losing weight.
"Only there is very little evidence to suggest the consumption of water help you lose weight's A myth that many people believe," he said, quoted by the Daily Mail.
According to him, water consumption is good for health, but until now there is only one study that says that drinking water can burn a little extra calories every day.
Not only that, he also added that consume eight glasses of water a day is also a myth.
"People do need fluids, but do not always have water. There is no evidence of water can wear away the fat and make you become more satisfied" he said.
He explained that water is the best liquid that can make the body hydrated, but other beverages such as green tea, coffee and juice are also able to provide the same benefits. Many people think that coffee is not entered as a matter of fluid the body needs to stay hydrated, but observed that it was wrong.
"When you drink coffee, the body absorbs the liquid, especially for those who are accustomed to consuming caffeine so that their bodies hydrated and able to adapt" he added.
Some people also believe that consuming a diet of cold water can help them. This was denied by Kitchin. He said that cold water may increase the amount of calories burned but not to help you lose weight.
"The only way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories and I suggest to focus on eating fruits, vegetables and soup" he explained.
For information, Kitchin statement is contradicted by the results of a study conducted in 2013 which says that consuming two glasses of water before a meal can help you lose weight. The study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and is also said that drinking water can reduce hunger so that people will consume fewer calories.
