Water Consumption and Bloating. Several factors influence whether drinking water leads to temporary stomach bloating, including the volume of water you consume and how quickly; what else is in your stomach; and whether your intestines are also full. On an empty stomach, one or two 8-ounce glasses of water are unlikely to cause noticeable bloating. In contrast, a quart or more of water consumed quickly with other food or liquid already in your stomach, may lead to some distension of your abdomen.
The Why. Davyâs study points to a resounding yes in the question of whether drinking water on an empty stomach can lead to weight loss. However, no one is sure why that seems to be the case. Davy notes that water may act as an appetite suppressant, since it fills the stomach despite containing no calories.n a large group of obese and overweight participants, some drank two cups of water on an empty stomach before meals; the others had no water but followed the same low-calorie diet. After 12 weeks, the water drinkers had lost almost 30 percent more weight and were eating between 75 and 90 fewer calories per meal.
