Drinking a glass of water before dinner is a common strategy for people who want to lose weight. It helps them feel full before sitting down to a meal and can work against you if gaining weight is your goal.
Instead, try slowly sipping water or a high-calorie beverage during meals, ensuring you maintain your appetite. Alternatively, you can wait until about 30 minutes after your meal to hydrate.
