Water is essential and many of the things available to drink these days have calories without any nutritional value, so sure . . . but 1200 calories a day for a 6 ft tall man is virtual starvation and that hope of fast results can be self-defeating. It might help to eat this little for a short time now and then, but do it for very long and you will be ill. Also, your body's famine survival mechanisms will kick in and fight to preserve fat for as long as possible - and will rush to restore body fat as soon as you eat more than this, which you will inevitably have to do. You'll do better with a long-term moderate, healthy diet - plus the exercise you are doing, which is very important.

Well i wouldnt so drastically go down to 1200 cal. i would gradually go down. but if you're working out and eating right then you ahve no proglem and just so u know if u want something different to drink because you egt to a certain point in drinking water that it doesnt taste as good. you can always switch to diet soda because there is no calories or fat. or anything to just like caralmized carbonated water. my finace drinks diet dr. pepper and its good.

When you're eating that few calories, it's a good idea to get all the calories from nutritious solid food, so drinking water (or other noncaloric beverages) is a smart idea. It's better to eat a piece of fruit than to drink juice. You want to maximize your fiber!

Yes, that's clever. The body is not made for other drinks than water - specially not such with many calories like pure fruit juice of soft drinks.

Its a great idea, you should see some results just from that. Soda and other drinks can cause your body to retain water and toxins, but water will flush out toxins and keep you from carrying any extra fluid weight.

A switch to only water is always good.
