Weight Loss With Water?

[syorker82]

Do you think that it is possible to lose weight with drinking more water alone?

I guess if I had to give a one word answer it would no. I know people that drink extra water before a meal in order to feel fuller but such effects are usually short lived. A nutritionist friend of mine does insist that not drinking "enough" water does inhibit digestive efficiency(along with every other bodily function). So my opinion is that water alone won't help you lose weght, but it certainly won't hurt!

I don't know if it will help you lose a LOT of weight, but you will probably lose weight over time.  If nothing else, it will help clean all the toxins out of your system.  Now, that's assuming you don't change anything.  If you go from drinking whatever you normally drink (juice, pop, milk, alcohol, etc) to drinking water only, you might lose a bit more.

I think it would be better combined with some sort of exercise, even if it's minimal.

i think it's definitely possible, if you replace something
with water. just drinking more of it IS healthier,
but if you take into account that something like a can
of pop has 150 calories...and you replace that with a
glass of water... you'll no doubt lose weight gradually.

i've been trying to change the way i eat for about 6 months.
i've lost about 25lbs, so it's slow-going but i feel like i'm doing
it the right way (for me). at this point, i don't miss other
beverages. water "flushes" you out and helps with digestion,
too, which will help with weight loss. fiber+water=

Some peoples bodies retain water and so this may not be beneficial for everyone but may be okay for some.

You may loose weight but you will lack the nutrients your body needs to metabolize fat ect. You will need energy to do things ect. Trust me I have done this a few times when I was younger, not a good thing to do to your body. Because when you are done with your fast, you get really hungry for everything and lets just say nothing ends well.

Calories in, calories out. No, you will not lose weight just from drinking more water, unless it replaces a slew of sugary drinks that you normally have in your daily routine.

Do you mean just adding more water to your diet? And just more water alone! I drink 24 oz of water one half hour before breakfast and I drink water a half hour before each meal. Then I drink a cup of tea after eat meal and most snacks. I have read the other comments. When I went back to drinking more water instead of so much fruit juice and sodas my weight went down.

Water plus a healthy diet of fruits/veggies, and exercises equals to weight loss.

If you replace other beverages with water then yes.

It also helps you feel fuller so you would eat less

If you just drink more water while drinking the same amount of other beverages then no

Thank you all for your opinions and you also left some good information!!

Water is a great appetite suppressant. It also flushes a lot of stuff out. It helps me maintain my weight since I don't exercise as much as I should.
