drinking water...?

Question

how does drinking lots of water help with weight loss? is it just cause it flushes you out and lowers your water weight or does it actually make you lose fat, as well?

Answer 1

If you keep it up can be great! Basically most people don't drink enough so your body keeps a reserve of up to a couple of litres in your body. If you are drinking more, the body doesn't see the necessity to keep the water and you get rid of it!

Can flush out a lot of toxins and yes it can wash out fat too, but the most weight you lose will be from drinking.

Answer 2

Drinking extra water with meals will not reduce the amount of food that you eat. If you drink several glasses of water with your meals, the extra water will distend your stomach and make you feel full for a minute or two, but the water leaves your stomach so quickly that you feel hungry again. The only stimulus to make you stop eating is to take in enough food to make you feel full and satisfied. Water has no calories and does not satisfy hunger.
Most of your requirements for water are met by the food that you eat. A day's food contains about 4 cups of water. The chemical reactions that occur as you burn calories add another 2 cups of water, for a total of 6 cups. You can easily meet your need for 8 glasses of water each day by drinking a couple of glasses of water or other liquid.

Healthy kidneys are so effective in clearing extra fluid from your body that healthy people can take in a lot of extra water safely. Your kidneys can clear 5 gallons of water per day or a half glass of water every 15 minutes. If you exceed your upper limit for water, you may develop a headache, nausea and even seizures.

Foods that are high in fiber and water content help you lose weight because they fill you up without a lot of calories. Forget about drinking extra water; eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans.

Answer 3

You need water for your body to burn fat. Without water, your kidneys can not do their job properly and your liver must pitch in to help. While it's helping the kidneys, your liver can't burn as much fat, so some of the fat that would normally be used as fuel gets stored in your body instead. Drinking more water lets the liver get back to its own job of turning fat into fuel.
Your body needs water-it's sixty percent water. But if you don't drink enough, your body thinks it's in danger and tries to hold onto all the water it can get. The water is stored between the cells and shows up as extra weight. Your feet, legs and hands may even swell up. When your body gets enough water, the stored water is released.

The more water you drink, the less you'll eat. Water is nature's own appetite suppressant. A glass of water before eating will help you feel full and eat less. You'll also get rid of extra salt by drinking water (salt can also cause the body to hold onto water).

Drink at least 8, eight-ounce glasses of water every day. If you're overweight, drink an additional glass for every Twenty-five pounds of excess weight. Cold or cool water is best. It's absorbed much faster and cold water may burn more calories. And don't drink cola, Mountain Dew or anything with caffeine in it. Caffeine is a diuretic and will cause you to lose water.
