I look like of I am pregnant. I drink atleast 200 ounces of water and I still can't lose the weight?

Answer 1

Water isn't a magic potion. Walking has got to be the easiest way to trim off the fat. Walk quickly, build up a sweat, get your heartrate up. The link below is a very cool site, the activity calculator is awesome it tells you how many calories are burned for like 200 different activities for any amount of time you enter , activities include housework, walking, jogging , rowing, coal mining, sitting in your ofice, bicycling, dancing, painting, gardening, child care, ironing, firefighting, sitting in class and many many more. Target training your abdominals won't be nearly as effective as a brisk walk everyday, with crunches and leg raises you will certainly tone your abs but you still wont see them because they will still be covered in fat. Walk walk walk its much easier than crunches or leg raises, when you trim the fat off then you can target train to tone them up(but I bet you wont need to). Please trust me on this. You wont need to walk many many miles, I live on an old radar base (pine tree line) and it takes me 16 minutes to do 1 lap around it. I sacrificed some TV time at night to get rest so I can get up earlier in the morning(6am) and go for 1 or 2 laps before breakfast(gonna make a commitment to do 4 laps in less than an hour every day) I have 2 kids whom I spend alot of time with so I have to "sacrifice" my own time at night to "invest" in my own health and longevity

Answer 2

Sadgirl, you must drink water in moderation .For anyone who is not a professional athlete 8-12(8oz)glasses of water a day is recommended. You are consuming 200 ounces, which is equivalent to 25 glasses a day. Your kidneys can only process fluids at a certain rate." Water intoxication" can be caused, by consuming too much water, too quickly,therefore not giving your body enough time to rid itself of excess fluids. Too much water can lead to severe medical issues, and become quite dangerous. Water is extremely important to our health,however, moderation is a huge factor, even when ingesting the most vital, "healthy contributors". Cut your consumption in half, and see how you feel. Also avoid high sodium in your diet, it will only add to the retention of your intake of fluids. A sensible diet and exercise program, will ensure results. Stick to the old adage; EVERYTHING IN MODERATION!

Answer 3

MAX Daily water intake is 64 fluid oz. a Day. To much water can POISON your body. Did you hear about the woman who died after a water drinking contest? No wonder you look pregnant, where is all that water supposed to go. Effective diets rely on moderation. Focus on intake of fats and calories for your daily activity.

Answer 4

Drinking water alone is not going to make you lose weight - especially if you are eating a lot of salt.

To lose the weight, keep drinking water, limit the amount of salt consumed, eat healthy and most importantly you HAVE to burn more calories than you consume (which means you have to exercise)

Answer 5

Try going for a run! It's great for losing weight. Water drinking isn't a good weight loss program.

Answer 6

drinking water alone is not going to solve your problem. everyone is different and drinking water wont make everyone lose weight. you need to eat right and still get some physical activity into your day... not necessarily meaning going to the gym.

Answer 7

I dunno, that is a lot of water! I'm lucky if i drink 8 ounces a day! What else do you do? How is your diet? Are you active at all? Do u have a desk job? Do u sleep a lot? Or a little.

Answer 8

just because you are drinking water doesn't mean that you are going to lose weight. you have to watch what you eat.

Answer 9

Read tips & articles on different types of diets, exercise programs, yoga & much more....

All about weight loss, weight watchers, Tea diets, easy home exercises to name a few

Answer 10

No wonder. You're drinking too much unless you sweat PROFUSELY.
