Here are some water consumption tips to reduce weight:
Drink 1 cup of water about 30 minutes before a meal to help expand your stomach and help you feel full on less food.
Serve broth-based soups (not cream-based soups) often. The liquid helps you feel full.
Keep whole-grain crackers, such as Triscuit and Rye Crisp, on hand. A few crackers and a glass of water will satisfy your hunger between meals.
Fruits and vegetables are naturally high in water as well as fiber. If you base your eating pattern on fruits and veggies, you'll get both fiber and water in one package!
Create vegetable snack bags that have a variety of colorful veggies. Use washed and cut broccoli, red bell peppers, baby carrots, and some white cauliflower -- or whatever veggies you like. Toss in some unusual ones to add interest and variety. Grab a bag and add it to your lunch, or use it for snacks.
Be sure to include at least one high-fiber food at every meal or snack.
Avoid drinking more than about 1 cup of water with your meal, so that digestive juices aren't overly diluted.
Drink lots of water between meals. Keep water bottles placed strategically around the house or yard so you can see them and remember to drink. Also keep water bottles in the car so you can quench your thirst without spending money or expanding your waistline on sugary beverages.
Feel like nibbling? Drink a big glass of water or other nonsweetened beverage instead.
But never drink water with your meal or half n hour before and after your meal.

It's preferable that you have your drink about 30 mins after your meal because if u drink straight after your meal, your stomach will ballooned.And it will slow down the digestion and cause water retention. BUt you should drink plenty of water to get rid of toxin in ur body. Preferabl, took 4 glasses in the morning, 4 glasses in noon and 4 glasses in the evening but this will varies depending on ur level of activity and weather. Take more if u exercise and hot day.Drink more if you want to lose weight. trust me,it done miracle..

not too much. i would say restrict to 2-3 sips of water. coz it may dilute secreted-enzymes.
you wont bother about this if u start drinking 1 litre water early in the morning when u get up.
that makes u hydrated all day...

ive heard that drinking water with or after a meal can interfere with digestion. small amounts is ok but if you drink a large glass 15 minutes before a meal you will feel less hungry and feel better
