i don't think you have anything to worry about.  Too much of anything is dangerous, one guy killed himself by drinking too much water and not going to the bathroom.  Basically, to drink too much green tea to hurt you, you would probably have to drink it all day every day for a while without going to the bathroom.

this is a new one on me.  I drink 40-60 oz a day of coffee sometimes - I guess I should start doing my testicular self exam more often?!

I'm serious, don't get sick though. I had food poisoning from consuming fish/chicken, don't know which one made me sick, and I lost 30 pounds in 1 month from throwing up and having the runs. People were complimenting me on my weight loss, but I was living in agony. I don't know what I had, but the first round of antibiotics from the doc did not work. It took 3 treatments! I have since gained the weight back because as soon as I got better, I ate everything in sight! Food never tasted better in my life. I've learned that drinking cold water boosts your metabolism 30% because your body has to work harder at maintaining the water at body temperature. Good-old fashioned exercise and food portion control ought to do it. Don't skip breaksfast and drink as much water as you can! That's my best advice. I don't think there is a HEALTHY way to lose a large amount of weight in a short period of time.

Water helps you lose weight because it gives your stomach the impression that it is full.  It is also healthy to keep hydrated by drinking 8 glasses of water a day - flavoured is ok but no sugar added.  (That's what Crystal Light is for!)  You won't get that full feeling from ice.\n\nYou can find the perfect diet for you by going to the library and checking out the diet and fitness section.  A good diet will have you losing 2 - 3 lbs a week - no more.  That will only take you five - seven weeks to lose your 15 pounds!  \n\nGood luck - it's not that hard to lose 15 pounds, be glad it's not 50.

As much as you like. Its contains great anti-oxident properties. I drink at least 2 cups a day, cold or hot. And I love it. I heard that its great for weight loss but I am not sure how or why. It seems like it wouldn't hurt though. You can probably find out more benefits of green tea from your nearest herb store,or surf the net for more info.

Yes you can. Some people want to know how much weight per week is safe to lose. Others want to know how much weight they will lose sticking to a certain program. There are lots of people who repeat what they have heard but no reliable sources say that only a certain amount is safe to lose. You can drink too much water, eat too much, exercise too much and fast too long (an MD fasted a fat guy for 8 months and he died). But you can not sleep too much!  Why? Because you do not control how much you get only how little you get. You cannot force yourself to sleep if you do not need it.\n\nSo you do not choose how quickly you lose weight. Your body decides that. So only your body knows how much you will lose. It will only allow you to lose what is safe. One guy under an MD's care lost 180 pounds in a year fasting on weekends. So some lose quickly on a bad weight loss plan  and others lose slowly on a great weight loss plan. Make sure to eat foods with nutrients for skin, like omega-3 fatty acids, to avoid loose skin, when you lose weight.\n\nDiets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.\n\nBut wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you  know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.\n\nSo it is natural  to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.\n\nhttp://www.phifoundation.org

you drink that much because your body is telling you to drink.  maybe you just get dehydrated easily.  regardless, you can never drink too much water.

i dont think so. it does have an effect. too much water may dilite your blood. the best solution is to self restrain and control the amount of water you drink. \nwell, good luck to you. hope everything is all right. ;)

Yes you can drink to much and drown your brain, destroy your kidneys [overwork] and ultimately flush out all the nutrients from your body that you effectual require to be a healthy person. Cut down gradually not in one go as I had funny things happen to me as I wasn't told to cut down gradually.

Please don't do that. it's sooo unsafe! I'm also 5'5" and I'm 135 lbs. I'm currently trying to lose 10-15 lbs. Anyway, here's what you SHOULD do with water. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. If you drink a lot of water it will help you lose water weight. It sounds quite contradicting to our logic but i'll explain why.\n\nOur body is composed of a lot of % of water and stores it anywhere in our body for future use especially if you only drink a little in a day. But if you constantly drink a lot of water everyday, our body will release the water stored in our body because it will think that it'll never run out of it. Therefore releasing what we call "water weight".\n\nAlso, water can be used as an appetite supressant. Try drinking a glass of water before you eat your meal and you won't eat as much. Replace sodas with water. It can do wonders.\n\nAnd here's another thing, did you know that if you drink ICE COLD water it can actually burn calories? :) This is because it can't be used by our body in its cold state. So our body uses energy to bring it to normal temperature. \n\nSo drink up girl! :) Drink a glass of H2O when you wake up, before meals and after meals and before you go to sleep. :)\n\nOh and I have recently discovered that green tea allows you to burn 80 calories a day.\n\nI hope i've been a help.:) Anyway, since you're trying to lose weight as I am, we can both help each other as we reach our goal weights. We can be weight loss buddies through email or yahoo messenger. If you want to of course. :) my yahoo id is michele_mai.\n\nGood luck in trying to lose weight! I sure am gonna need it. ;)

I think you have no idea how much your harming your body. If you want to lose weight, lessen your calorie intake and increase your exercise.

Yes, I am addicted to two cups coffee (about 400mg) in the morning. If I don't have it I'm a mess.

These people are NUTS.  There is no amount that you "should" be drinking.  The "8 glasses a day" and "half your weight" theories have NO basis in science.  It's all just myth and folklore.  Drink when you're thirsty.  No benefit to over-drinking.

No it is not bad. In fact a grown up male should take a minimum of 3 litres of water or other fluids per day. It can be more than this but not less. read -\n\nHow much water do you need?\nEvery day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.\n\nA couple of approaches attempt to approximate water needs for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate.\n\nReplacement approach. The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids. \nDietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day-.

Oh yeah! My friend told me the same story! Weird... ;-)\n\nI think, what you need to do, is limit the amount of iced tea you drink. One a day, possibly? Also, drink other drinks like orange juice and MILK. I think it is true because my friend asked MY health teacher and he said that is was. I think it can happen, and if you limit your amounts, you should be fine. You can get "unaddicted" slowly, but surely.\n\nHope this helps!

I have not heard of a "water diet" specifically, but it only makes sense that if you're drinking 3 eight ounce glasses of water with each meal, you are most likely not to eat as much food. If you're eating less food, you'd lose weight. And it's certainly not a bad way to make sure you're getting plenty of water! :)
