Your body requires eight, 8 ounce glasses of water each day. Water facilitates weight loss and helps you stay healthy and regular, even when you are on a diet. If your water does not taste good to you, add a slice of lemon to each glassful.
Remember that drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day is as important to weight maintenance as it is to weight loss. Don't make the mistake of thinking that by cutting back on water intake, you will prevent water retention! The opposite effect will take place. By drinking more water your kidneys will be stimulated, helping to reduce water retention; and, in the process, your body will burn some more calories. Always drink water in place of "diet" beverages - there is no caffeine in water -and it is calorie free! Avoid artificially sweetened beverages of all types. If we can persuade you to give up diet drinks, this could lead you to a world appreciating sweetness while satisfying your palate and, in a matter of just one or two weeks, natural food will begin to taste unbelievably sweet, and it will be much easier for you to stick with your diet. Diet drinks (and artificially sweetened desserts) just turn on your appetite "on" without satisfying it, possibly leading you to overeat at other times. When you need a drink, try water! If you crave something sweet, have a drink of water.

Drinking plenty of water is great for you. And it's not that you are not eating so much as before. It's what you are eating.
I stopped drinking soda, and almost stopped drinking juices. It's the sugar intake. And started drinking more water. I already eat healthy. And excercised a 1/2 hour more a day. I dropped 47 ponds in 6 months. Just from that alone.
So, if you are looking to loose weight, keep this in mind. Keep up the good work....

Cutting back on your portions will cause you to lose weight, drinking water has many advantages, but it isn't a weight loss tool. Are you doing any exercise? This would quicken your weight loss too, plus make you feel great.

Weight loss occurs when you consume fewer calories than you burn...eating healthy and exercising are the keys to weight loss...
Water is great, and should be a part of a healthy lifestyle...but it'll do more to help flush your system and keep you hydrated, than to have affect on your weightloss...

The water is good for you but the food reduction is the key to weight loss
