You already know that cutting down on how many calories you consume and exercising more often are the best ways to lose weight. The analysis revealed that black women represented one of the groups most affected by excess body weight. The prevalence of obesity among black women rose from 35 percent in the time period between 1988 and 1994, to 55 percent between 2009 and 2014, according to the findings.

Increasing water consumption for overweight prevention also seems promising because an interventional study in children showed that promoting the drinking of water at schools reduced the risk of overweight ( 21 ). Such evidence is missing in adults, but 2 recent systematic reviews concluded that there might be a beneficial effect of water consumption on weight control ( 17 , 18 ). Both reviews had methodologic restrictions and identified few relevant studies. They did not report searching more than one or any electronic database systematically. In addition, they investigated simultaneously further research questions, such as the effect of other beverages or the short-term effect of water on energy intake. Thus, a comprehensive systematic review focusing on water consumption and body weight outcomes in adults is missing.
