Agree. The article lists appetite repression and I think its 100% that.

When I diet/track calories I def load up on water to help. And for me - it does work very well.

Yup, that's it. Every time you get hungry drink a tall (TALL!) glass of water and usually the hunger goes away and you end up being content with an appropriate amount of food.

Dehydration can cause sugar cravings.
