A 30-MINUTE BREAK BETWEEN EATING & DRINKING IS ESSENTIAL
Wait to Drink
Food is diluted with any beverage (especially water) so you do not get the full nutritional value—which is the reason why people are always hungry and tend to overeat.
Why Do Restaurants Always Put Water on the Table?
The first thing your server will do is bring you a glass of water. If you don’t eat and drink at the time you will eat less, spend less, and maintain a healthy weight.
When you drink water with your meal, you will tend to eat more.
If you need to eat more, you will spend more.
Because you’re not full, you’ll have room for dessert and you’ll gain weight!
JOEY CHESTNUT EATS 76 HOT DOGS TO BECOME WORLD CHAMPION
How Did He Do It?
John Minchillo / AP
Answer: With Water
Joey drinks a gallon of water before the contest. It washes away the acid and enzymes in his stomach and stops his ability to get full while eating all those hot dogs.
He also dips the hotdogs and buns in water before he eats them. He keeps diluting his stomach so that he can keep eating more hot dogs!
If you watch dogs or cats, they will never eat and drink at the same time.
