I’ll try to remember that. Thanks!
I wonder if it only works for “obese” people - what if one is only about 10 lbs overweight?
Knowing how sloppy this kind of research has become, it may be a simple case of subjects with more will power, willing to do something not so pleasant prior to every meal, would have lost the weight anyway due to their own discipline. Maybe not much different from walking a half mile to every meal.
However, the docs all say more water is better, so why not?
Won’t work in the US. “What’s 500 ml?”
A few years ago I was at a church event for the women. Dinner was served and Tres Leches Cake was the dessert. My very skinny friend looked at me and said ( paraphrasing),” I don't want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Do you think they would mind if I took it home.” It was plainly evident that she was very full just from the dinner. Another bite of food would have been too much.
As for me, I could have eaten my cake, her’s, and two more, as well. That is when I realized that for many it is **not** a question of will power and self-control. It is likely that for nearly everyone who struggles to maintain their weight it is a hunger hormone problem.

Depending upon your own body makeup, people can live up to 30 days without food. I guess I should have marked it with a "sarc" note for the literals out there.
That’s why over-eating is the hardest addiction to get over. One can go cold turkey on drugs, alcohol, tobacco and etc. but one cannot eschew food.
Well, adding math to the mix doesn’t help at all...
This is just the kind of thing I'm talking about: the constant presence of food, and the social pressure to partake of it. In my youth I developed the habits of an opportunistic feeder, and I recall an instance when I went 24 hours without eating without thinking too much about it. ( Only realizing this, you see, when the same diurnal opportunity recurred. ) The trouble is that when these opportunities become multiple, and even overwhelming, the old habits do not serve me well.
BTW, and FWIW, I'm about ten or fifteen lbs under my life maximum, at just under 200 lbs.
My Doctor called it a Water Pill.
Name of the Drug is Hydrochlorothiazide

Looked it up. Doesn’t sound like its what I need. Thanks anyway.
