One of the easiest and most effective ways to help your diet is to drink water - it's recommended to drink 8 glasses of water per day, although most people don't often drink that much. Water provides a number of benefits when dieting - if you're hungry, you can have a glass of water, it has zero calories and it helps to fill your stomach and suppress your appetite. Water also helps to flush out your body, including toxins that you would want to get rid of already.
As our bodies are made up of mostly water, we can go longer without food than we can without water, as the body requires water to run efficiently. If you don't drink enough water, you can get bloated - so although it sounds counterintuitive, to get rid of excess water you need to drink more water (in fact you can often lose a few pounds within the first week or two just from increasing your water intake, which helps release all the excess water your body has stored).
A further tip is that drinking ice-cold water actually burns more calories, as your body needs to heat it up to absorb it properly, so if you have an ice water dispenser at home or at the office, fill up a glass regularly and keep it nearby.
