Question

This is what ive been told, is this false or true ?

lol no birth control pills im a virgin till i get married. Just a question out of curiosity, since all my life ive been told water is nothing but good for the body

Answer 1

A pint of water weighs a pound. But once you drink "excessive water" your body eliminates it right back out again by sweating, and other methods. Dehydration will cause you to lose weight, but you build up toxic waste in your system if you dehydrate. Water is needed to keep the toxic waste washed out, so keep drinking pure water. Toxic waste, if not flushed out is stored by body fat. Drinking cold water actually burns calories since your body has to warm the water up to body tempurature.

Answer 2

The only thing that drinking a lot of water will do to your weight is lower it. When people have "water weight", it is from things like high blood pressure. Water retention can cause weight gain,but that cannot be caused by drinking water. In fact, not drinking enough water can make it harder to lose weight.

Answer 3

Excessive water, meaning you are taking in too much water??? Well, it is not really weight gain--it is water gain. And you can lose it easily. I get during long trips in the car when I dont stretch and move...

Answer 4

If you're on the pill your doctor can have you take a water pill. Stay away from salt as salt makes your body retain the water.

Answer 5

It's false. You actually retain water the more dehydrated you are. If you are adequately hydrated, your body won't retain as much.

I'm not sure what you mean by excessive though. No one wants to do anything to the point of being excessive!

Answer 6

are you on birth controle? birth controle makes you gain weight.. but tis all water weight. if yuo are on any water pill this may also be the case..

Answer 7

It would just be water weight if anything..not fat.
