You might also try adding a bit of vinegar or lemon juice to the water, and/or a touch of potassium/sodium salt. Sometimes it's not just water ... it's an electrolyte issue.

I've hit a bit of a wall here lately with weight loss. Over the last month or so I've felt ravenously hungry during my window. Couldn't figure out why. I'd just gobble down every carby thing I could find. Whatever the wife bought for the kids... gone. Yummy.
Then I came across an article explaining how the body sometimes can't tell the difference between hunger and thirst. So I thought that maybe I'm dehydrated as it's been getting warm outside since late May and I do exercise outside quite a bit. Over the last few days I've started chugging a 12oz glass of water every time I get that obsessive, must-eat-something, counter-surfing, cabinet searching feeling.
It works.
I'm sick of drinking water already but I'm no longer craving food after I eat and I can go about my business without thinking of food. If I start to feel "snacky", I'll just gulp down 12 more ounces of water.
Amazingly, I can drink 60-72 ounces of water after work and only go to the "mens room" once or twice. I guess I really was/am dehydrated.
So, keep drinking that water folks... unless you'e in Australia or Brazil right now, in which case disregard. ;)
