Drink Water to Curb your Appetite!

     So we all know (or at least I hope we all do) that water is vital for all of us to live.  I myself am not an avid water drinker like I know I should be in fact, I probably don't drink enough water on a daily basis at all.  I've read in magazines forever that we should all be drinking 8 glasses of water a day and quite frankly, the only time I probably attain that goal is if I'm sick... or hungover.
     However, recently I came across an article while reading a magazine on the elliptical about how water can actually help you lose weight too.  This fact STILL hasn't made me drink more water but maybe it'll help you!
    Ok, so here's how it works:  It takes 20 minutes for your body to realize when it's full.  If you drink two glasses of water before every meal, (or even more if you'd like) your appetite will shrink significantly and your body will realize it's full after eating a smaller portion of food than usual.  This isn't a diet trick that will help you shed pounds in days, it's more of a gradual process, but it can't hurt to try!
