Tight fitting pants + a belt is a sure-fire "stand goal" hack if you drink a lot of water.

Can you explain this?
What goes in must come out. :P If you drink a glass of water every time you pee, then you’re gonna need to pee again relatively soon. The belt just limits how much room you have in the tank.
A belt also helps you detect weight change faster than any other method. It works so well that I wear sweats.
True! A fairly well fitting, inelastic waist line will rapidly inform you of any overindulgence. The key is to then modify your eating and exercise habits until the situation is resolved, rather than exchanging your pants. :D

Hahahaha yep sometimes during the holiday season.

This works well: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/nva-leather-belt-blac... . (Out of stock, though. The nearest equivalent may be the Bundeswehr model.)
