The short answer is yes. Drinking water helps boost your metabolism, cleanse your body of waste, and acts as an appetite suppressant. Also, drinking more water helps your body stop retaining water, leading you to drop those extra pounds of water weight.
Secondly, why do we feel hungry? To make our bodies keep working, we have to continually be digesting food. When our stomach and intestines are empty, they release hormones into the blood and send signals to the hypothalamus. This causes particular groups of neurons in the hypothalamus to produce proteins, which make you feel hungry (NPY and AGRP).
Thereof, why do I constantly feel hungry even after eating?
Consuming fewer calories than the body burns can cause the body to produce a hormone called ghrelin. Some refer to ghrelin as the hunger hormone because the stomach releases it when the body needs more food. A low-calorie diet can increase ghrelin production and cause hunger, even after a person has just eaten.
Can I gain weight from drinking too much water?
If water taken exceeds this capacity, the body can no longer flush out the extra water and it will cause weight gain. This is known as, water weight”. Usually the amount of water a person drinks depends on their food habits, other beverages or drinks taken, their working habits and overall health status.
