Is Drinking More Water the Key to Losing More Weight on Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound?

In this episode we explore if drinking more water is the secret to losing more weight on a GLP-1 like Ozempic, Wegovy or Zepbound.

Drinking more water helps you lose more weight because:

• Reduces side effects from GLP-1 medications (especially constipation and nausea)
• Helps maintain energy levels and cognitive function
• Supports kidney function for processing medications
• Promote healthy digestion
• Supports your metabolism and weight management

I think the general estimate we were told as kids to drink 8 cups of water a day is probably not enough water for most people on a GLP-1.

How much is enough water every day? It depends on a number of variables including your age, activity level, weight, climate etc.

The math gets pretty complex so we created a free Drink More Water calculator that calculates a personal estimate for how much water people on GLP-1 journey should drink daily to lose more weight.

One good rule of thumb is half your body weight in ounces of water each day. On top of that, many healthcare professionals have suggested people on GLP-1 should drink 10% more water than the normal person. But the reason for the calculator is when you factor in all the variables we should probably drink a lot more water than we think.

- Consider using one of the cool bluetooth water bottles that connects to an app and tracks your daily water consumption.

- One thing I have found helpful is drinking small sips of water all day instead of a lot at once.

- Watermelon is great because it's 92% water!

The good news is testing if drinking more water improves results is free and easy thing for everyone to try. I hope this is helpful for others.
