Water and Weight Loss?

Question

Okay so I'm trying to lose 20 pounds. I'm 135 lbs and 15 yrs old right now.Lately I've been really tired and weak though. I went to the doctor and they said I dont have anemia but I need to drink more water.I want to work up strength first before I try to workout. So I NEVER drink water, just enough to survive I guess. If I continue for 2 weeks drinking 8 cups of water everyday and eating fairly healthy (and without much exercise) How much weight should I lose the first two weeks?

BY the way, I kow how to at least EAT healthy now. Trust me I know what things to eat and what not to eat, so i dont need tips on eating.

Answer 1

the most you should aim to lose the first 2 weeks is 1-2 lbs/week, so a total of 4 lbs. Not drinking water is not smart.

Answer 2

Your body need nutrition and your body is primarily water and you must replace the water for your organs to work properly. Your body organs will shut down without water.

· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.
·
· When you deprive your brain, the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

Also, a quick weight loss is usually a water loss and that loss will come back ASAP. You cannot loose FAT more than 2 to 3 pounds a week. Any more than that and you are loosing water and muscle mass (not good)

AND DON'T GO ON A DIET. DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.
