Half of the people were instructed to drink 16 ounces of water before meals. After three months, the participants who drank water lost an average of 15.5 pounds. After a full year of the same regimen, the water drinkers slimmed down by an additional 1.5 pounds on average. Drinking more water is a low-risk way to lose weight.
