| | 10 / 11 10. Water
While water isn't exactly food, it has a direct impact on many metabolic pathways. You should aim for at least 8 glasses everyday. Adequate fluid intake also helps prevent overeating. "Much of what we perceive as hunger is actually thirst," explains Bowden. You can demonstrate this for yourself by simply drinking a glass of water next time you feel hungry. "Half the time the hunger will be gone in a few minutes," he adds.
