I love that you dug into the old "you may really be thirsty and not hungry" suggestion. I have looked into this as well and couldn't find any real justification for this either. I call BS on this, although I did see studies you cited re decreased overall hunger from drinking water prior to meals. Nice job with this post.

Great stuff. My experience falling from for this myth was that I would have disrupted sleep from getting up to pee so often, which then made me tired the and more likely to eat junk food the next day.

Oh this is super interesting! I know there's definitely links to sleep and eating habits, sounds like a topic to dive into for another newsletter. ;)
