more water = weight loss?

by heatherlynn22, Apr 27, 2009 09:19AM
so i've been reading and hearing a lot about drinking more water helps raise metabolism and helps with weight loss. i do know that more water helps with appetite control but does it really help with weight loss? i also know drinking more water helps flush your body of the impurities it stores but does it help to flush the excess water it has stored over years? has anyone noticed a change in weight while drinking more water?

Drinking water helps fill you up and staying hydrated gives you more energy.  Anything that helps you eat less or move more, will help you lose weight.

Well i have completely stopped drinking Mt.Dew for 3 months now.  The only fluids i take in are occasional milk, some apple juice, and about 2-3 gallons of water a day.  I have lost about 25 pounds in 3 months.  

I would say that drinking more water will surely help lose weight.

Here's some information from the NIH (National Institute's of Health) ...

RESULTS: Absolute and relative increases in drinking water were associated with significant loss of body weight and fat over time, independent of covariates (diet and exercise).

DISCUSSION: The results suggest that drinking water may promote weight loss in overweight dieting women.

Yes it does flush out excess water that has been stored for however long it's been in your body. You may notice a significant weight drop just by drinking water alone.

People don't realise the impact salt has on body weight.
