Q: Does drinking eight glasses of water help me lose weight?

A: No. The water itself is not a weight loss tool, but the intake of enough fluid is crucial for a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle. Make sure that you have a sufficient amount of fluid (not only water), and try to spread the intake of it evenly throughout the day.

I heard that drinking 2l or 8 glasses of water a day, helps your liver to do its job. By drinking all this water you make it easier for the liver to flush out all the bad stuff. Which in the end breaks off the fat more effiecently.

Is Fat-Free Really Better For My Diet?

A: That is not the case at all. A low-fat product is often lower in energy than the same size portion of the full-cream variant. This is however not always true. Very often if manufacturers reduce the fat content of food, they add sugar, flour, or starch thickeners to improve flavour and texture after the fat is removed.
