Add more water to diet
Dehydration can cause water retention leading to bloating and overeating. Oftentimes when people feel hungry it is a result of inadequate hydration levels that need to be met.

Staying hydrated during the day will maintain healthy levels of sodium and maintain the body’s overall balance. This simple step can produce weight loss results in as little as a few days.
