Can drinking water help you lose weight?

Question

Is it true that drinking lots of water will help flush your body of excess fat?? Or does it only make you feel fuller??

How effective is it?

Answer 1

Drinking water instead of sugary soft drinks will help you lose weight as it has 0 calories. Simple drinking a lot of water will not flush fat from your body, but it may make you feel fuller, so drink some with your meals. Excercise is key. Good luck!

Answer 2

Weight loss is based on your energy expenditure being greater than your energy input. Water contains no calories, however it is a valuable component of pretty much every chemical reaction in your system, so it's integral for keeping your metabolic rate in check. It still has weight, however, so if you don't have enough water in you, at first when you start drinking eight glasses of water a day you will put on a bit, but afterwards as your body chemistry starts operating at a normal pace and your metabolic rate improves, you will start progressively losing weight.

drinking lots of water flushes toxins out of the body(does not flush fat) and helps you to eat less
be aware though excessive amounts of water can cause water toxicity and can be dangerous by altering your body electrolyte balance
6 to 8 oz. glasses 6 -8 times a day is plenty

they are loaded with fats and salts
walk 20-30 min 3-4 times a week and the weight will come off

Answer 4

Drinking water daily does indeed flush the impurities out of your body daily, which also helps with weight loss. Drinking water does make one feel fuller, especially in between meals. I am on the Atkin's Diet & water on this diet is crucial to losing weight & being heathy. The safe amount to drink daily is to take your weight, divide that in two, & that's the amount of water in ounces, you can drink safely without any problems. The more weight one loses, the less water you have to drink. Water also keeps your hair, skin, & nails healthy. :)

Answer 5

It does help you loose weight, but you do have to use common sense, you can hurt yourself if you drink too much in a 24 hour period. It is helpful to maintain proper portion control if you drink water before you eat when you are hungry.

Answer 6

A glass of ice cold water has -8 calories in it, because the body has to heat it up before getting rid of it. I think the biggest benefit of water is to satisfy the stomach briefly, so you don't need to eat as much. I try and drink a lot of ice water when I'm dieting.

Answer 7

Yep it helps you flush out all the toxins and fat that's released when you work out... also it's better to grab a glass of water instead of a soda so just in that it saves you from the calories and such. Also drinking 24 oz of milk at least a day also helps... just healthy livin :D
