How much Fluids should be taken for management of obesity?
Liberal amounts of water and zero/low calorie fluids may be included in the diet. It may be helpful to have a glass of water before meal to reduce food intake. Some patients benefit by taking a spoon of guar-gum/pectin/xanthum gum or finely ground husk/bran of cereals and pulses in glass of water before meals as it gives a feeling of satiety.
