I'm still not convinced that drinking a lot of water with meals is a good idea.This is definitely an ongoing debate online but personally, I think moderation is the key, if you feel the need to drink water or other liquids with meals. The stomach produces acids that help to break down foods, inhibit bacteria etc...and if too much water is added to the mix, can this process still work effectively?The author lost a lot of weight by not only adding more water to her diet regime but also drastically limiting junk foods and also her overall calorie intake. For anyone who is grossly overweight, weight will come off a lot quicker than someone who is only slightly overweight. I'm sure the water helped this to happen but it certainly isn't the only reason why she lost all this weight.I applaud the author for her weight loss achievements that certainly were necessary after a heart attack at such a young age. But I do prefer to read guides like this written by people with some health credentials or at least, by including some footnotes for those types of sources, to back up their personal claims. Thankfully, the Internet provides us all the opportunity to investigate claims like this for ourselves, weigh the pros and cons and decide from there what we personally want to believe.
