Weight Loss With Water?

[PGS28]

I truly believe so because you are flushing out toxins and making yourself feel more full, not to mention the calories you save when comparing it to drinking soda and other sugar filled drinks.

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

It depends on what else you are doing.

If you just drink more water while drinking the same amount of other beverages, then I say No.

However, if you replace other beverages with water, then I say Yes.
Drinking more water may also help you feel fuller so you may eat less and therefore you could lose weight.

Water is one of the biggest tools for weight loss!  The weight watchers diet says at least six 64 oz glasses per day!

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.

For some people doing exactly that is all that is needed since those sugary carb loaded soft drinks and juices are what causes their weight gain to begin with.

I have read that drinking 8 glasses of really cold water at one time will burn a lot of calories, but how many people can drink that much at once?  You certainly would not want to try it in the winter...Brrrr!

No, water alone won't help with weight loss!   You have to eat..then you have to burn calories!  Diet and exercise are the key!   In the world of quickie weight loss diets...just remember...the faster it comes off..the faster it comes back on!!!!

A little bit off the topic.......I have lost 19.8lbs in 2 weeks by ONLY drinking water. It is very hard to do and is not very healthy, but I needed to lose weight fast and this worked. The first day was fine (I kept sipping water when I felt like eating). By the 2nd day I started to have headaches and by the 3rd day I had cold fevers and could not get out of bed for headaches. I woke up on the 4th day with so much energy that I bounced about the place! The weight kept dropping off at 2.2lbs per day and the energy levels stayed high. After 14 days I started eating a little bit of veggies and then fruit and slowly introduced other foods. The weight stayed off for about 2 years. Apparently the body starts absorbing it's own fat when there is no food coming in. My body shape changed dramatically and I actually started having a waist again!!

I believe it's possible to improve your health by increasing water consumption.  When you drink a lot of water you might experience an appetite adjustment that could lead to weight loss.
