Drinking Water?

[Anonymous]

IS it good for loosing weight? Like, what does it do for your body?

. In fact, chronic dehydration is probably the most common cause of a lot of our health ailments. There are two main reasons so many people are dehydrated these days. We eat less vegetables and fruits (which are water-dense) and more processed foods than we should. And we drink lots of caffeinated beverages instead of water. Caffeinated beverages and alcohol are diuretics. They force more water out of our bodies.

If a person is dehydrated their body compensates by retaining excess water as a protective measure. This alone is responsible for some excess weight. As well, a dehydrated person's metabolism is significantly lower than a normally hydrated person.

Dehydration is responsible for many people's feelings of fatigue. Many people have lost their sense of thirst and mistake it for hunger. Drinking a glass of water will usually greatly reduce any false hunger pangs.

So the solution to losing at least a few extra pounds sounds easy. Start with two glasses of room temperature water first thing in the morning. That's before you drink coffee or eat your breakfast. Try to drink some water regularly during the day. And eat more water dense foods such as vegetables, fruits and even legumes.

I'll get right on it.

The secret to some fast weight loss without exercise or diet changes is to drink more water!

it doenst do anything for your body except give it necessary hydration. What is a problem for many peopleis drinking sodas and sugary drinks all the time. Subtituting plain water for tge sygar syrups is a big step in the rikght direction in terms of healthy eating.

[martyfellow]

Prevents you from eating massive quantities, helps you feel refreshed and awake without going for the coke or coffee. And it flushes toxins from your body making your skin clearer and you feel a lot better. You just have to pee often! But it's well worth it. I drink three full bottles at least a day

drinking water alone won't make you lose weight, it's probably better if you replace other drinks with water for example drinks that have calories, sugar and caffiene.

exercise, eating healthy and drinking water will most likely result in you losing weight

[drummerdude25]

Drink water as opposed to soda and other junk? It's way better for you, yeah! They say if you drank (only) water for an entire year, you'd drop like 5-10 pounds.

Think about all the extra sugar and calories you'd be cutting out of your diet... certainly adds up.

water helps clean the kidney and liver and helps you stay hydrated. Just drinking water to lose weight is not a good idea. You need food for energy to help you walk and important task for your vital organs too. Eat fiber bars, fiber are kind of hard to digest and makes you full. And then have small amounts of fruits and veggies and red meat. Excerise as well.

If you drink a liter of soda, you're consuming an extra 900+ calories.

If you drink a liter of water, you're consuming 0 calories.

When it comes to losing weight, you want to work on a caloric deficit. That 900+ calories makes the difference between having a great day for weight loss and a day where you just get a little bit fatter.

Yes, it's good. It keeps your stomach full and helps to flush you out.

BUT, you CAN over-do it, too, so drink as much as you can comfortably, but don't force yourself.

You've somehow gotten it mixed up; drinking water is good for quenching your thirst. Dieting and exercise is good for losing weight.

[rachiee]

Helps clean you out/stay hydrated, and it boosts your metabolism. If you're working out then drinking plenty of water is definitely a good idea.

[shinnygold17]
