how does drinking a gallon of water a day make you lose weight?

Question

???? i dont get it?

Answer 1

Water serves many functions in your body's day to day operation.

It helps keep you hydrated. Staves off hunger by making you feel full. Helps keep your organs working properly. Helps your body detox after eating lots of fatty foods, helps keep your skin clean and clear, and helps to stave off cravings.

Although drinking a full gallon a day is most likely an exaggeration (that's a lot of water for one day!!), you should be drinking at least 8-10 glasses a day. But that doesn't mean you should only drink water.

You can actually overhydrate yourself by drinking too much water. Crazy, I know, but it's true. There have been deaths caused by drinking too much water.

I found this on this website. There are more tips and info. 1. If what you are eating has less than 1 carb, count it as 1 carb just to be sure. 2. Totally avoid caffine at least for the first two weeks on the program. 3. Drink a MINIMUM of 8 glasses of plain water or seltzer daily. 4. Don't weigh yourself more than once a week 5. Take starting measurements as well as weight - sometimes you'll lose inches before pounds 6. Avoid any type of "low carb" sweetener for the first two weeks 7. Don't compare your loss to someone else's - this is a YMMV thing (your milage may vary) 8. Stalls are common around the third week so don't panic 9. If you follow your plan to the T and don't lose, consider Candida as a possibility and avoid vinegar, cheese, mushrooms and any other fermented food 10. Have bloodwork done before starting so you have a comparison 11. Cholesterol can be elevated in the first few weeks til your body adjusts - make sure your doctor knows that you're doing low carb and when you started 12. Don't blame the diet if you don't read your plan book -- blame the diet if you don't read the labels -- Don't blame the diet if you don't follow the diet

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

No. A glass of water weighs nearly a a pound, so whenever your drink just a glass of water you are gaining a pound. And until you urinate it out, it is only then until you have lost that pound.

Water wont make you gain fat, and water is healthy for you, depending on the source, but typically it doesn't assist in losing significant amounts of weight.

It all deals with your Liver's ability to metabolize Fat. Your liver has several functions. One of the functions is metabolizing Fat. If you are dehydrated you impede the Liver's ability to perform this function thus causing the Fat buildup in your body.
Drinking lots of water is also supposed to help curb your appetite.
