Does drinking water help weight gain?

I am trying very hard to gain some weight because I feel too thin, and someone told me drinking water helps. But doesn't water fill up the stomach and reduce hunger? If I drink water before meals, will it actually make it harder for me to eat enough food?

If water could help with weight gain, I'd be a heavy-weight champion by now with all the water I drink to survive my night shifts! Water has zero calories, guys. If you want to gain weight, you actually have to eat real food, not just drink liquid.

Honestly, drinking water won't help you gain weight since it has zero calories. If you drink too much water before eating, you will just feel full and won't be able to finish your parathas or protein shake. Better to drink water after your meals.

I cannot offer any medical tips, but in my personal experience, water only helped me stay hydrated while doing heavy weight training. It didn't directly add any weight. I had to focus heavily on eating high-calorie foods like bananas, eggs, and peanut butter to see actual results.

When we consulted a clinical nutritionist at Kokilaben Hospital for my sister's low weight, she clearly explained that water has no role in weight gain. She advised keeping water intake away from meal times so it doesn't suppress appetite. Please ask your doctor for a proper calorie-surplus plan.

My mother always tells me that drinking water right after meals slows down digestion, which can affect weight. However, our family doctor advised that drinking water at the right times actually improves digestion and nutrient absorption. For weight gain, focus on calorie-rich foods rather than changing your water intake.

I tried giving my son banana shakes, ghee, and nuts to help him gain weight, and we realized water timing is very important. Drinking water throughout the day keeps the digestion healthy, but avoiding water during meals helps you eat properly. It is all about simple, practical daily habits.

In my experience with blood pressure and overall health, water alone won't change your weight. It just keeps your system hydrated and pressure stable. For actual healthy weight gain, you need nutrient-dense foods and regular checkups to ensure there are no underlying metabolic issues.

I recently managed to gain 6 kgs after being underweight for years. One thing I learned is that drinking water right before meals was my biggest mistake because it filled my stomach. I started drinking water only 30 minutes after meals, which really helped me eat larger portions.
