Water
And last but not least – not exactly food, but still. Studies have shown that you normally consume more food if you drink too little water. Water has no calories, but will fill your stomach. You can add lemon for taste, but you can also drink beverages with fewer calories, which consist mainly of water such as coconut water, watermelon juice or buttermilk. You can also enjoy vegetable soup (with no oil).
The rule of thumb is to drink 3 liters (12 US cups) of water per day for men and 2 liters (8 US cups) per day for women. Remember that you don’t actually need to drink that much water as water is also found in vegetables and fruits that you eat trough out the day. Drink water only when you’re thirsty.
