In Chapter 3.4 of our book, we explain that the
water content of your food plays an important role
in weight loss and in having a feeling of satiety
after a meal.
We said that the water in the food itself is more
effective at controlling appetite and losing weight
than low-moisture food accompanied by a glass of
water.
This concept has now been verified by a study of
1,136 women conducted by the University of
Tokyo. The women consuming the most water in
their foods were the leanest. The women
consuming foods with the least water were the
most overweight.
The researchers also reported that drinking water
from beverages with meals had no impact on body
mass index or waist circumference. Only the
water within the foods was effective.
This is why we emphasize wholesome, high-
moisture foods in our recommended PCOS diet,
such as soups, salads, fresh vegetables and fresh
fruit.
Not only will you be able to better control weight,
you will also be a lot healthier!

I do not as a rule post to weblogs but I am interested in your post therefore I was forced to do so. Veering off the subject slightly, what is your opinion regarding walking? Which is these days being put forward as the best exercise to burn fat.
Hello Paanchajanyadharaaya,
Thank you for contacting our PCOS Support Blog!
Walking is a great form of exercise, especially if you are getting your heart rate up into your target heart rate zone. It’s also much easier on the joints than jogging. For those that are beginners, walking fast for 20 minutes 3-4 times a week is a good starting point. I think varying the intensity of the workout is a good idea as one does in interval training (sprinting 1 minute, walking 5 minutes…).
Pick different areas (hills, trails, stairs, track, neighborhood) and find a friend to keep you company (furry friends count). Also varying the type of exercise can be a good idea too so we don’t get bored with our workouts as we get more advanced. But I agree walking is great. It’s cheap (no gym membership necessary), easy for most individuals, works all parts of the body, and can be lots of fun.
I hope this information answers your questions. Please don’t hesitate to contact us again with any further questions or concerns.
Best wishes,
