what happens if you go days without drinking water?

Question

Does drinking too much water make you gain weight?

Answer 1

Your body HAS to have water. You can go weeks without eating anything, but only about 3 days without some form of water. So obviously, I would NOT recommend testing this theory, or you will die.

In answer to your other question, you will actually lose weight if you drink more water. You are supposed to drink 8-10 8oz. glasses everyday (although that's nearly impossible for most people). This is a very healthy way to cleanse your entire body via the kidneys. The way this works is due to salt content. Water moves to higher concentrations of salt to balance things out between the cells in your body--called osmosis. When you drink a lot of water, the salt in your kidney cells are much easier removed through a complex filtration process. So in layman's terms, it pulls water from your body to follow the leaving salt from the cells. Hence, water weight loss. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

No. Water is very good for you. It is a part that makes up the human body and you need it to stay healthy. Unless you'd rather become dehydrated which I did once. Not pretty at all, worst experience ever.

Answer 3

No.... the more you drink- the more excess water you flush out. The less you drink- the more dehydrated you get. Water is life.
It's excessive salt intake that makes you retain water. So, lessen salt intake, but don't iliminate it completely either.... and drink lots and lots of water. (at least 8X 8 oz/day)

Answer 4

You can become dehydrated and get very sick and your body will retain fluids and you can get bloated and it does not make you gain weight to drink water
