Drink water to lose weight

German scientists have found the secret to shedding the pounds could
be as simple as drinking more water.

A study by Berlin's Charite University found that people who drank the
recommended two litres of water per day burnt off an average extra 150
calories per day.

The team led by professor Michael Boschmann said water stimulated the
sympathetic nerve system that regulates metabolism.

The increased rate of metabolism was responsible for burning off the
excess calories, according to a Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and
Metabolism report quoted in German magazine Men's Health.

The team found however that carbonated water as well as all other
drinks had a negative effect and only still water worked if people
wanted to get the "slimming effect" from drinking.
